The Democratic Party suffered a major political setback in Massachusetts with the loss of the headquarters of the U.S. Senate in the hands of Ted Kennedy for almost 50 years, Scott Brown. A right-right political stealth, Brown rode across the state in a van who claims to be independent and “man of the people.”
Now Brown is playing things soft and cautious, not wanting to sound like a right ideologue. He distanced the movement of the Tea Party on ABC, Barbara Walters’ TV show in January 31.
But whatever Brown’s policy to become, in Washington, Massachusetts, which was supported by a combination of right-wing groups and the major banks and financial institutions. Brown rose to victory in its financing and in the confusion and disillusionment of the population by the failure of the Obama administration to come to their aid in a time of economic crisis.
The combined efforts of such right, right-wing organizations like Cato (a coordination group for the amalgamation of the Tea Party racist scum), the American Freedom Alliance and Redstate.com helped secure his victory. (nytimes.com, Jan. 21)
These groups were the organizers of the room the “town” meetings and Tax Day protests in which a conglomerate of various forces of law served right racist slurs, anti-communist slogans and anti-immigrant agitation against President Barack Obama . Tea Party were the forces on the ground in Massachusetts and funds flowed into the Brown campaign via the Internet from their networks.
As for being a man of the people, in fact, Brown was more like a man of the banking elite. He received about $ 450,000 in the financial industry in the last week of the campaign, according to the Boston Globe online. (boston.com, Feb. 1)
In the Massachusetts race, Brown received about $ 442,000 from Jan. 11-16, while Martha Coakley, his Democratic opponent, received $ 92,000 workers in the financial industry during the same period.
“Almost 80 percent of the money Brown got from financial workers came from outside Massachusetts, in places with a concentration of financial firms such as New York, Greenwich, Connecticut, Chicago and San Francisco. In addition to financial giants like Credit Suisse, Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley, donors, including executives of hedge funds and private equity firms.
Workers should take careful note of the fact that the choice of Massachusetts had a convergence of interests and efforts between the far right and a large section of the company that figures prominently in the ruling class.
It was the healthcare industry, including insurance companies, which channel the money in Cato and attacks Obama’s town hall. And it was the oil companies, coal companies, utilities and other sectors of large companies that use Cato and his model town hall to organize the “base” meetings around the country to demonstrate for a legislation preventing the Obama administration to agree to reduce carbon emissions at the global meeting on climate change in Copenhagen.
In such cases, the industries of money directly to reach the far right. In Massachusetts, bankers and hedge funds directly to Brown gave. It is an example of a partnership in which the objective right out stronger.
These reactionary forces were able to succeed because there was no alternative for the population that is not the agenda of the bankruptcy of an Obama administration. Under the leadership of the Democratic Party, Washington has shovel money to the bankers, who take huge bonuses and benefits, made backroom deals with insurance and pharmaceutical companies, an escalation of the war in Afghanistan and not to reach any serious program of create jobs.
Coakley, who was unable to campaign in oppressed communities, of Boston, had no choice. He campaigned on the agenda of Obama and represented the imperialist, pro-capitalist interests of the ruling class, and Ted Kennedy for two generations.
This is a clear message that organizations struggle to mitigate the different parts of the crisis facing workers and the oppressed – demanding jobs, fighting foreclosures, for food, education, health, stop war, death penalty and police brutality – should unite and give a true alternative. Only by building unity in the fight and doing class work, anti-capitalist political agenda of the right can be defeated and the economic crisis treated at the same time.
