Mayoral candidate slams council for ignoring boy racers
Mayoral candidate Byron Clark has criticised the Christchurch City Council
over their actions against street racers in the city.
“Every year we hear hollow promises of reactionary plans to crack down on
street racing,” Clark said. “In reality, bans and by-laws are
unenforceable and are unlikely to make the problem go away. There have
been hoons on our roads for many years.”
Mr Clark, who is a candidate for the Workers' Party, said the council
should be putting more effort into providing safe and affordable
facilities for motorsport.
He said: “Motorsport venues are prohibitively expensive to use, and are
mostly limited to organized motorsport events. The burnout pad at Ruapuna
was promising, but that's gone now.”
“The council should provide regular motorsport events which are attractive
and don't cost the earth.”
The Workers' Party is a socialist political party active throughout New
Zealand. They are fielding four mayoral candidates in the upcoming local
body elections.

Read her profile, I think she should make an excellent leader for the local council.

Boy/girl racers help cause global warming while making the selected few rich?
(The oil and car companies CEOs must be rubbing their hands with glee from all of the money that is being spent by the boy/girl racers while the boy/girl racers are keeping themselves in poverty! I don't understand why some people are so silly to spent so much money on cars and hooning around while they live like trailer/urban trash in grotty housing.)
It'll be the younger gerneration that will live with the effects of global warming the longest. See www.climatecrisis.net for some proof.
Stop being brainwashed by the car industry and think of the damaged that it causes!

WPs position is that capitliasm is a fetter on the technologies that can free the working class and the environment. It's like a second step in enlightenment you might one day reach called revolutionary politics.

In a nutshell this is the logic of most of the other like-minded posts.
Not much different than the logic contained in the email being sent around by CHCH cops urging other cops to kill all psychologically disturbed workers who threaten them with knives.
Both statements seek to blame the victim of a society that results in the the behaviour that is disapproved of.
Anonymous (who obviously buys necklaces and coffee at Trade Aid, and free-range, organic eggs at countdown to show their support for starving Africans, south american indians and chooks) seeks to blame "Boy (and presumabley girl) racers" for succumbing to the omnipresent bourgie media and getting caught up in the whole car thang.
It is no wonder the world is so fucked says Anonymous - it is all the racers fault....! Better kill those cunts!
The cops advocating killing psychologically disturbed workers think the same way: who gives a rats arse why some overstressed, alienated (unemployed)_worker goes off their nut and attacks some private property (car) with a hammer - shoot the fucker!
Both responces are a testament to the social alienation of the person making the statement.
Anonymous is socially powerless. Their views count for shit. Chooks and american indians?? No-one is listening to your feelgood fantasies numnut. And because you secretly know your irrelevance you totally loose it and lash out - strangely, not at the system - but at whichever victim of capitalism happens to get in their way.
After all if you pick an easy target - maybe someone will be on your side.
Divide and rule. The brits invented it to keep their empire afloat. Imperialists have found it useful ever since.
It's a pity workers buy into their logic so uncritically.
The cops too are powerless/ as individuals they see the depravity of this system first hand - the killings, the violence. But as individuals they are powerless to effect social change. However as part of the repressive apparatus they ARE the power. And power corrupts.
Well they rationalise: we can't change the world - but perhaps they'll blow away some objectionable elements in the meantime - eh?
Whatever the rationale - neither party wants to change society - having given up in favour of compelling others to accept their world view. Or face the (lethal) consequences.
Perhaps its just as well for the rest of us car owners that society doesn't licence "anonymous " to carry a pistol as well.
Workers Party has their faults, and their press statement contains not a few of them. But politics and the struggle to change reality starts from understanding reality, and the concerns of every worker, workers son & daughter and then moving forward.
Anonymous seems to think that delivering ultimatums and shooting all those who don"t agree with them is a better scenario.
But then, how does that differ from what we've got already?

REVOLUTIONARY COMMUNIQUE #9287267
Comrades,
The central committee of the LAMA hereby announces its staunch opposition to the misnamed Workers Party and its reformist calls for a controlled form of carbon fuel based racing.
No true progress is possible for the toiling masses until the motorcar and other anti-camelid devices are abolished. In their stead we propose that all transportation be undertaken by llama chariots within a collectivised and democratic society. This is only possible once the sheep-human-industrial-capitalist hegemony has been overthrown. The popular masses should have no illusions in the paper tiger pandering of the WP to the forces of reactionary industrial capitalism and its evil devices!
LONG LIVE THE LAMA!
DEATH TO THE CAR!
OPPOSE THE WP MISLEADERS!
SUPPORT CAMEL TRAINS, NOT METAL TRAINS!
KELLY TO THE BACK OF THE BUS!
A LLAMA IN EVERY GARAGE!
#END#

...or perhaps anonymous just doesn't understand sarcasm or irony. So much for education.
PS anonymous, not only do I like chooks, I have them as pets.
Cheers.
