Aztec Camera & Mick Jones - Good Morning Britain (Single)

I am not sure whether it was drummed into me repeatedly from birth but I am of the opinion that no one human being, with few exceptions, is any better, or worse, than any other.

I believe that the vast majority of working people merely wish to live their lives, to the best of their ability, free from interference.

I don't believe that all white supremacists are fascists, I don't believe that all Muslims want to impose Sharia law, I don't believe that all Jews are rich, I don't believe that all blacks are gangsters, I don't believe that all coppers are crooked, I don't believe that all lesbians hate men, I don't believe that all teenagers are knife wielding hoodies.... you can see where I am going with this I hope.

Stereotypes seek to divide what I would regard as a global humanity. Sure we might believe different things, be different colours and all the rest but that does not make any race, creed or colour any better, or worse, than the rest.

I do believe in an individuals right to self determination but that right does not extend to imposition upon others. For instance, I, fully aware of the risks, choose to smoke but I choose not to smoke where that action imposes upon others (unless they too are smoking or have given their consent).

I do not believe that the ruling class has any such right to rule nor that capitalists have any right to profit from another's labour.

The most recent example of the hypocrisy of the state, whereby 'it' defines what is and is not allowed, was summed up in the expenses scandal. The state ran an advertising campaign targeting 'benefit cheats' while MPs were, at the same time, fiddling their expenses. What made their behaviour any different and why should I abide by laws drawn up by hypocrites?

I also believe that we have a collective responsibility both to others and to the planet. Despite what many would have you believe, humanity has a tendency to mutual aid. That is only natural given our status as social beings and our inherent concern for others. If we did not then why do people give to charity? Why do people do volunteer work? And we can't work against the planet lest we destroy ourselves in the process.

I suppose it is primarily for those reasons that I would define my political beliefs as anarchist communist. Read the booklet and see what you think.
