    The pseudo-revolution in Libya and the Degenerate “Left”, PART I : The pseudo-revolution in Libya, TAKIS FOTOPOULOS The International Journal of INCLUSIVE DEMOCRACY , Vol. 7, No. 1 (Winter-Spring 2011) The pseudo-revolution in Libya and the Degenerate “Left” TAKIS FOTOPOULOS PART I : The pseudo-revolution in Libya ...also read Part II: The role of the degenerate "Left" 1. Introduction To avoid any misconceptions or deliberate distortions of the stand taken by this paper (there have already been accusations by what I call the present degenerate “Left” — statist and libertarian alike — that I am a “pro-Caddafist,” a “plot theorist,” a “supporter of dictatorial regimes,” etc., particularly since I was also against the transnational elite’s[1] criminal attacks on Yugoslavia, [2] Afghanistan [3] and Iraq [4] ), I think it is necessary to state, explicitly and in advance, the principles guiding this paper. The reader will, then, have a clear opportunity to assess its conclusions against these principles and draw his/her own conclusions. Basic principles guiding this paper 1. Fundamental to this analysis is the libertarian principle of peoples’ self determination, which should never be violated for supposedly humanitarian reasons (like those invoked by the arch-criminals of the transnational elite) or pseudo-“anarchist” reasons, according to which states are not sacrosanct (see Chomsky-Part II). 2. Although it is true that states are not sacred, and social liberation is impossible unless peoples live in free confederations of their own communities securing the equal distribution of political and economic power among all citizens, national liberation is a precondition for any social liberation.

Those of you who have visited our panto over the last two decades may know that Solihull’s ‘Mr Panto’ Malcolm Stent is hanging up his frilled shirt and golden waistcoat and stepping down from his mammoth role after 27 years! He’s built the show into a family favourite and was thrilled to be honoured in Her Majesty’s New Year Honours list for his ’Services to Entertainment’. He enjoyed a fabulous day at Buckingham Palace in the Summer and is rightly proud of his medal.

We’ll continue to stage professional pantomimes here and the show will be ‘re-booted’ next year or as they say in Dr Who… regenerated! We’ll continue to welcome back our family audiences of all ages continuing our fantastic pantomime tradition here in Solihull.
