‘Cultural Marxism has ruined the UK and South Africa’: interview with Jack Sen, suspended UKIP candidate

In this interview conducted with Jack Sen, the suspended UKIP candidate for West Lancashire, he speaks freely of his opposition to third-world immigration to Britain, the disastrous effects of cultural Marxism on the West and his sympathy for white or “minority South Africans”.

Please tell us about yourself, and why you have an interest in South Africa and specifically Afrikaners, and other minorities?

I was born in Britain, but have an ancestral link to South Africa on my paternal side. My grandmother who hailed from the Western Cape was of Afrikaans origin. She immigrated to Britain with my granddad, who was a South African of Anglo-Indian origin, in the years leading up to World War II. My granddad worked as a medic in the British Army, later as a chemist on a sugar plantation in Natal, and upon their move to England they made a life for themselves in West Lancashire – where I am currently standing for Parliament.

South Africa will always hold a special place in my heart for me – not solely due to my ancestral ties, the family braais and holiday malva puddings – but also because it is a place that has been deserted, vilified and condemned to misery by the western Marxist powers. It is unfairly seen as the last vestige of colonialism, and for that reviled by Western Liberals.

As a champion of truth and someone that genuinely cares about humanity, and in particular children, I can think of no better place to spend one’s efforts on than assisting the people of South Africa. My contempt for hypocritical Western Liberals – the actual people responsible for the rape of tens of thousands of girls in your nation – has a lot to do with it as well.

Can you please tell our readers what UKIP is, and how they can help with the current situation in South Africa?

UKIP stands for the United Kingdom Independence Party. I’m UKIP’s prospective Member of Parliament for West Lancashire.

Most of your readers will know of our charismatic leader, Nigel Farage, who up until yesterday when he vilified me in the press, I supported with every fibre of my being.

I had seriously high hopes for UKIP on so many levels. From the direction UKIP planned on taking the nation, to my party’s refusal to fall victim to political correctness: UKIP had so much genuine promise. That’s why it pains me not to be able to tell you more about UKIP’s policies. I no longer know if I even believe in the party. They, like every other mainstream party, are in the back pockets of special and corporate interest.

Besides, the message they sent South Africa, by suspending me for my comments on minority genocide in your nation, and the internationalists in your nation behind your downfall, suggests UKIP are no different than the Lib/Lab/Con regime ruining our nation.

If not through UKIP, how would you suggest these affected minorities in South Africa, and their British allies in modern Britain help each other?

I believe Britain can assist minority South Africans with ties to our country in two ways: firstly by completely overhauling our immigration policy and implementing an Australian-styled points-based immigration system, which gives preference to culturally and ethnically (when possible) compatible people of the Commonwealth that speak our language. Britain will benefit from good immigration that fills skills voids, and South Africans will be able to move to a country that’s relatively safe.

Sadly, currently we reject the vast majority of minority South Africans applying for entry into Britain, in spite of the fact they speak our language, have the means to take care of themselves upon their arrival, and have the skills we need. Why? Because we have no room left in our country due to the fact that we have uncontrolled immigration from the new EU nations of the former Soviet Union and are being literally invaded by African and Asian migrants that don’t believe they should have to apply for a visa to enter our lands.

Leaving the EU and telling Brussels to sod off will help us sort that. But I also believe we have a moral obligation to help our brothers and sisters in South Africa – people that are facing what amounts to genocide. We do in fact share some of the blame for the current situation in SA. It was in fact the meddling of our government and media that allowed the Marxist ANC regime to seize control of the nation. Britain is also sadly responsible for the debacle in Zimbabwe and Uganda, where thousands of white and Indian British subjects were left to rot when we decided we no longer wanted to play empire.

Where do you see Britain and South Africa heading in the next 10 years if there is no change away from cultural Marxism sweeping most Western countries?

For complete ruin. South Africa is the template for what will happen to the West if we allow Western European nations to be overrun by people from non-Western nations. And before people shout racism, I can quite confidently say that this for me is not a race issue, as the people of the former Soviet Union, whom I strongly object to migrating here, are often phenotypically lighter-skinned than I am. This is also a cultural issue.

The Left are bent on our destruction, and the quote “Conservative Right” are fine with it as long as they stay rich during our descent. From embracing the anti-Western ideals of Islam, to promoting the teaching and normalisation of sexual deviance at the expense of our children and families, to deliberately pitting ethnicity against ethnicity, women against men, the ideological Left and internationalists on both sides of the political spectrum, ruining our nations, have all but succeeded in destroying us from the inside.

The media have a lot to answer for in biased reporting, in order to keep their leftwing status quo in power. Do you think this will last, and are people waking up to how they are being duped?

Sadly, that’s the nature of the people behind the media. As I am sure you and your readers are well aware, the media controlling how we view the world and our own societies, are typically controlled by people with an innate hatred for the countries in which they live. They are driven by their contempt for Western civilisation, as well as a lust for power, control and money. It’s a pretty diabolical cocktail of hate we are being forced to drink.

People are slowly waking up, however it is only because of alternative media sources like yours, the Occidental Observer, even hardliners like the European Knights Project, that they have discovered we are being led off a cliff.

Would you say we really won the “Cold War” against Communism, or is there a resurgence as these sidelined Marxist, Socialist groups are combining efforts to be a worldwide power once again?

We have most certainly lost the war against Marxism. The fact that we see our laws penned in Brussels (European Union) by men and women with ties to Marxist movements, and men like Ed Miliband – who, quite frighteningly, is literally one week away from possibly running our country – tells me we most certainly have lost.

Although economic Marxism failed miserably in western nations, Marxism translated into cultural terms – commonly referred to as Cultural Marxism, something devised by the miscreants at Frankfurt am Main in pre-WWII Germany – have achieved more success than Max Horkeimer, Lukács, Gramsci and Adorno could have ever envisioned. The fact we cannot criticise these people without being called anti-Semitic should tell you how under their thumbs we really are.

How would you compare the current state of South Africa, with that of Great Britain? And what needs to be done to change this?

There is actually a scary parallel when one looks at Britain’s and South Africa’s decline. Look at the epidemic of grooming gangs in Britain and the rape epidemic we currently see in SA.

Both sets of perpetrators are part of a protected class of people that one cannot criticise for fear of being racist.

So-called civil rights activists, feminists and liberals ruining our lands, claim one of their primary objectives is combating violence against women, rape and misogyny.

Yet, in spite of the tens of thousands of young girls that have been sexually molested by grooming gangs in Britain and across Western Europe, and the millions of rapes perpetrated against women and children in South Africa, nary a peep has come from feminists or any faction on the Liberal Left in your country or mine.

No condemnation, outrage, not one drop of concern for the innocent lives that were sacrificed for political correctness.

Leftists have been mute on Rotherham, as they have been in South Africa, as exposing rape perpetrated by “members of society’s oppressed”, doesn’t quite fit their Marxist narrative.

Until we deal with the ideologues facilitating our downfall, nothing can change.

The only difference is ethnically Western European people are still in the majority in Britain, whereas they are in the minority in South Africa.

What can be done to change this?

Apart from stringing them all up, not much, sadly.

Forget the maths, South Africa needs more Marxism at school

The road to success is paved with comic-book Marxism.

Over the last few days, South Africa’s “minister of basic education” – yes, we have such a thing – announced a few statistics that people found alternately shocking or “hilarious”. Everything in South Africa is “hilarious”: even the vicious murders and rapes we read about every day. As a society, South Africa has lost its way and all it can say is: “It’s hilarious,” meaning you should laugh about it. Every true “New South African” as the species self-identifies, is a sadist.

roodt_fbfotoNow, I can imagine that if the minister of “basic education” – or any other type of education – in another country announced that the average grade or mark in Grade 9 mathematics was 10%, there would be some kind of concern, if not an outcry. Even though we published the “hilarious” news on our website yesterday already, the national Business Day newspaper saw fit to carry it on its front page today. It gets worse: only 3% of Grade 9 pupils actually receive 50% or more for mathematics as we reported on Afrikaans praag. This is real progress, we are confidently assured.

As I commented previously, the provincial MEC for education in Kwazulu-Natal province actually ascribed poor academic prowess in maths to – you guessed it! – apartheid and poor old Dr. Verwoerd who was stabbed to death by Tsafendas:

Senzo Mchunu, MEC for Education in Kwazulu-Natal, declared in late July: “One of the points we found was a problem in Maths and Science. It was Verwoerd who made the subjects difficult because he thought blacks would be a threat to him.”

So there you have it: Dr. Verwoerd “made maths difficult”. That is why I think maths should be completely scrapped in most schools in South Africa and be replaced by courses in Marxism. As it is, knowledge of Karl Marx and the class struggle is what gets you into South African universities these days where the revolution has seen to it that all humanities faculties have been taken over by cultural and other Marxists, with the sciences not lagging far behind.

If you think I am making this stuff up, well, I hate to disillusion you. The worst of all is: if you dare question this kind of “logic”, you immediately get vilified as a “racist” or “white supremacist”, usually by other white people who have seen the light and also disdain anything male, European or mathematical.

Other school subjects preparing pupils for both undergraduate and graduate courses would be: whiteness and gender studies. Not only could you blame Verwoerd for “making maths difficult”, you could blame all dead white males for the calamity of inventing it in the first place: Leibniz, Fermat, Pascal, Von Neumann, Turing and others come to mind. Even Pythagoras and Euclid could be blamed for putting New-South African pupils through the stress of maths when they could be learning about Nelson Mandela and why being a man or a woman is just a “social construct”.

Get rid of calculus and replace it with class. And, of course, race: the ultimate obsession of the rabid cultural Marxists who are turning South Africa into a kind of B-movie version of Stalin’s Soviet Union in the 1930s. Except the Russians did not quite give up mathematics, and eventually developed a space programme.

South Africa also has a space programme of sorts: it consists of hurling projectiles into space, usually while standing on a freeway bridge with motorists passing underneath. Recently an Afrikaner woman, Irene Myburg, was killed by a rock hitting her full in the face in the passenger seat while being driven to Pretoria. In another incident just a few days ago, a rock was also thrown at ex-rugby player Hannes Strydom while driving down a deserted street in Pretoria. Unlike Irene Myburg, he survived the attack from our version of NASA “scientists”, equipped with large stones.

marx_for_beginnersHowever, South Africa has lots of “talented” cartoonists, such as Zapiro, who could convey the basic tenets of cultural Marxism to school children in comic books, a bit like those “Marx for beginners” or “Lenin for beginners” books that used to be popular a few decades ago. Marcuse, Adorno and Horkheimer could be immortalized in ink drawings and a few anti-white and anti-male slogans, supplanting “Verwoerdian” difficult mathematics.

As it is, the most successful people in South Africa are the so-called “tenderpreneurs” who do business with the state and get contracts via their cronies in government. Being a staunch advocate of affirmative action counts for a lot more in those circles than any actual engineering or technical expertise, so it makes sense for any would-be rand billionaire to study Marxism instead of algebra.

The road to success is paved with comic-book Marxism. I am sure our esteemed minister of “higher education”, Dr. Blade Nzimande, already understands it better than I, “damaged” as I was by an “apartheid education” which included Afrikaans, French, Latin and mathematics, could remotely attempt to do.


‘SA’ is for Sadists’ Apocalypse

In a recent article in the Sunday Independent, Gillian Schutte mistakenly blames so-called “white conservative narratives” for the appalling sexual violence that is sweeping South Africa at present. As rape is notoriously underreported, most estimates put the number of such crimes at more than a million per year or approximately three thousand per day.

The macabre forms of dehumanising torture during farm murders provide another clue to the societal breakdown that is occurring in our country. Even calling it “our country” might be a malapropism in that Afrikaners like myself are no longer considered full citizens in an Afro-Saxon state that is slouching towards some incarnation of Mugabe’s Zimbabwe or, better still, Charles Taylor’s Liberia. This week, Taylor’s conviction as a war criminal was confirmed by an international court, the first head of state to be jailed for such crimes committed in Sierra Leone while he was in office.

South Africa has become a sadists’ apocalypse. No amount of “reframing”, circumlocution or leftist pseudo-intellectualism can disguise it any longer. Nor can the seemingly desperate massaging of the crime statistics. In the age of social media, people communicate their horror and despair at being captives in this, our “paradise of cruelty”. Policing our language as in the cowardly attack upon Louise Mabille is a poor substitute for the lack of policing elsewhere.

As the twentieth century has shown, utopias are always dangerous, be they fascist or communist. Every utopia has turned into its mirror image, a dystopia replete with genocide. South Africa’s pursuit of a racial biopolitics known as “transformation”, as well as extreme forms of cultural relativism, have unleashed hitherto unknown social consequences. In the domain of sexual violence at least, the country has earned the dubious title of “rape capital of the world” and it regularly tops international murder tables too.

Understanding the causes of this immense violence, unknown in peacetime, represents a rare analytical challenge. None of the usual explanations actually fit. The same people denouncing “colonialism” are the most accomplished colonialists in their slavish subordination to US or British racial discourse and political correctness.

However, neither Britain nor America has absorbed any significant African cultural influence so it is of no use applying the sociology of New York or London to an outbreak of sadistic violence in Limpopo province. It is risible to see ostensibly educated people constantly blaming either “apartheid” or “poverty” for the horrors and cruelties afflicting this society.

The retreat of Afrikaner power in South Africa has been coterminous with the resurgence of African belief systems, including witchcraft and ritual murders. In the early nineties South Africa experienced hundreds of killings associated with witchcraft and occult beliefs, leading to the Commission of Inquiry into Witchcraft Violence and Ritual Murders. We still do not understand the role that occult beliefs played during the revolution, especially in establishing hegemonic black politics and racial nationalism. The necklace, that symbol of revolution, is pregnant with ethnographic and cultural meaning. There is also evidence that young “comrades” intimidated traditional healers to extract money from clients and that the accusation of being a witch was used to eliminate political opponents.

Mrs. Winnie Madikizala-Mandela, that international heroine and former wife of Nelson Mandela, subscribed to the Maoist doctrine – ‘kill one, scare a thousand’ – that support is gained through terror and horror. She notoriously stated in 1986:

…with our boxes of matches and our necklaces we shall liberate this country.

A necklace killing whereby a tyre is placed around the victim's neck, filled with petrol and then set alight
A necklace killing whereby a tyre is placed around the victim’s neck, filled with petrol and then set alight

Child and even baby rape is another ghastly phenomenon indicating that South Africa has navigated to a new, alien moral code. Stating that white men sometimes do it in some other country too, hardly mitigates the particular horror that it has assumed here.

The British Guardian ran an article on 12 March 2009 entitled, “Raped and killed for being a lesbian: South Africa ignores ‘corrective’ attacks“. The Guardian’s website contains an accompanying video interview with lesbian rape victims, as well as young black men who are outspoken in their support of “corrective rape”. One of them says:

Me, I have no time to rape them, but if there are some of the other guys who want to teach them the way, they must rape them, they must rock them.

But perhaps white conservatives are a bigger problem: they might go to church or caution their children against drugs and sexual promiscuity, which would undermine the libertine morals that so many have advocated for so long in South Africa. In Hillbrow, as recounted to me by a former policeman, young white female drug addicts are employed as prostitutes by Nigerian gangsters. When they are no longer useful to their pimps, they simply get injected with heroine and pushed off highrise buildings in what gets officially recorded by the police as “suicides”. In South Africa, the crime reality show is so much better than the fiction.

The country’s academics are all but ignoring the scourge of rape, including infant rape, judging from the paucity of published articles in the field. To some extent they have acculturated to the witch-hunting culture in persecuting dissidents in their own ranks. Otherwise they engage in repetitive denunciations of “patriarchy” as if there were still a father left somewhere that has not been killed.

South Africa’s “transformed” universities have been turned into the “armed brothels” Erik von Kuehnelt-Leddihn spoke about when he said:

Rousseau is the grandfather of the concentration camps and also of those armed brothels that we continue to call universities. We have with us on one hand the Old Left, a finished product of L’éducation sentimentale, with its bent for social engineering and its tendency to identify its own plans and policies with the volonté générale; on the other the New Left which has taken up the slogan Retournons à la nature! exemplified in the rabble of unwashed, unkempt, debauched, unbridled ignoble savages who look to the Third World of the underdeveloped for inspiration. Its heroes are Chairman Mao with his Little Red Book, Ché Guevara, Ho Chi Minh, Holden Roberto, the Harlem criminals and the pistol-packing priests.*

That is why leftist university intellectuals find any form of criticism of traditional African culture to be inherently “racist” and eschew references to practices such as ukuthwala (the kidnapping and forced marriage of young maidens). Recent legislation has placed about 18 million black South Africans under so-called customary law in which such practices are legal.

Everybody in South Africa, whether white or black, fears a witch-hunt in some or other form. Especially the kind of witch-hunt whereby you are called a “racist”, lose your tenured university job and spend the rest of your life in ignominy. Therefore white academics are completely silent on ukuthwala or the so-called “virgin cleansing myth” if the professors do not actually deny in writing that such phenomena exist!

Here and there information filters through the iron curtain of political correctness. The only academic article worth reading on the “virgin cleansing myth” is that by Suzanne Leclerc-Madlala which appeared in The African Journal of AIDS Research in 2002 under the title,  “On The Virgin Cleansing Myth: Gendered Bodies, AIDS and Ethnomedicine“. It provides a fascinating glimpse into the psycho-sexual paradigm in which, as she puts it, “virgin cleansing is believed to have both a therapeutic and a prophylactic effect” (against HIV-AIDS). Raping a child or a disabled person is therefore seen as a form of AIDS prevention or cure.

But even the virgin cleansing myth obliquely alluded to by Dr. Mabille in her critique of insipid Western feminism does not go far enough in explaining South Africa’s journey upriver into the heart of darkness. We really lack the concepts to understand the enormity of what we are faced with.

Much of what passes for analysis of sex and culture in South Africa consists of rehashed hippie or New Left thinking from 1960s America. Get liberated, man, is more or less the gist of it. Call it Marcuse on Durban Poison. Repression or any form of “holding back” is invariably seen as “bad”. But sometimes repression might be desirable, even imperative. Freud was old-fashioned enough to advocate a balance between the pleasure principle and the reality principle.

The old Afrikaner government, while encouraging African ethnic identities, saw fit to suppress witchcraft and ritual murder by making it a criminal offence. Prior to becoming the first president of a united South African republic, Charles Robberts Swart introduced the Suppression of Witchcraft Act 3 of 1957. To the principled cultural relativist, the act – which is still on the statute books – is an affront and he would probably agree with the Marquis de Sade that “morality is just geography misapplied”, meaning that a crime in one culture is a harmless pastime in another.

One could even argue that the very structure of the South African political system is tending towards sado-masochism. Last Sunday the new CEO of the liberal Institute of Race Relations, Dr Frans Cronjé, argued in Rapport that whites should assume a far more submissive role in South Africa, lest they expose themselves to some form of collective revenge during a Second Revolution. According to Cronjé, such a revolution will be

…a violent, racist and destructive transition from a reconciling democratic state to a hostile, black nationalist state… After the Second Revolution, white South Africans will lose their homes, their jobs and their businesses.

Apart from exhortations to submissiveness, white guilt and even “vows of silence” à la Samantha Vice of Rhodes University, South Africa’s academic sycophants contribute little to our grasp of contemporary violence. In this respect, French literature is more instructive. Sade’s amoral theory of nature, of course. But also his notion of the sovereignty of sexual instincts that should not be tamed by any man-made law or religious scruple.

The Marquis de Sade had a disciple in the surrealist author Georges Bataille who espoused a theory of “transgression”. He took an interest in violence, punishment and eroticism. Bataille also collected photographs of Chinese executions which included horrific torture.

South Africa’s army of sadists regularly commit acts that shock a weaker Eurocentric sensibility. At the same time they are creating a world without limits, revelling in a new-found innocence that to them must represent the perfect freedom, the sovereignty of Sade’s libertine who pursues excess in celebration of pristine nature, a nature that punishes the weak and rewards the strong. To impose one’s will on a woman is also a gift of nature to all men. As Sade writes in Philosophy in the Bedroom:

If then it becomes incontestable that we have received from Nature the right indiscriminately to express our wishes to all women, it likewise becomes incontestable that we have the right to compel their submission, not exclusively, for I should then be contradicting myself, but temporarily. It cannot be denied that we have the right to decree laws that compel woman to yield to the flames of him who would have her; violence itself being one of that right’s effects, we can employ it lawfully. Indeed! has Nature not proven that we have that right, by bestowing upon us the strength to bend women to our will?**

Human rights or even a puritanical code such as feminism is not incompatible with sadism. As Bataille would argue, morality is needed for transgression to take place.

Sylvia Plath wrote in her poem “Daddy” that “Every woman adores a Fascist”. She was wrong. Every woman adores a sadist. Especially if she happens to be a feminist.
