8 Changing EU-politics and peoples’ governments
putting up resistance. Such a government will not hesitate to show
the propertied and mighty minority their non-privileged place. This
would be true democracy in the sense of the sub-classes majority
demos ruling the minority of the upper classes.
Of course such a state of democratic affairs cannot be kept up for
long because there is no chance that capitalism and real democracy
will ever fit together. By definition and practice capital rules the
world and it cannot be voted out of their grip on society. As history
proves a really democratic government will immediately be chal-
lenged violently. From the start a people’s government must care for
the loyalty of the police and the armed forces and probably has to
abandon the existing secret services. History also teaches that a peo-
ple’s government and its supporting trade unionist and grassroots
democratic movements should organise own armed units. The na-
tional capitalist establishment and their overseas class accomplices
have no other chance against a consequent people’s rule than to try
to impose a civil war on the country. This has to be averted by deter-
rence or fought by help of an inter-peoples’ 35 pan-global alliance of
liberation movements. I think of the Spanish Republic 1936 or the
worldwide revolt against the US war in Vietnam in the 1960s to assist
the hard and selflessly fighting Vietnamese people to win their peo-
ple’s war.
The LOMATI can never end in a genuine people’s government. For
parliamentary and administrative pressure the LOMATI climbers and
their spearheads still need their basic movement as social rear cover.
But the nearer they will get to their political goal of power positions
the more LOMATI pilgrims will lose their original grounding and will
get lost in the Brussels red tape administration. Those few, who may
succeed in being accepted in the European top circles, will definitely
be no threat to the establishment.
8.4 On the DIEM25 LOMATI in particular
I n s e r t i o n : I finished the Open Letter in Aug. 2016, sent it to you
and made it available for DIEM internally. Thereafter, in Sept and Oct.
2016 you came out with some articles, reasoning on how you intend
to do the LOMATI and explaining more concretely how to conquer
commanding heights in the EU.
