The Migrant Genocide: Toward a Third World Analysis of European Class Struggle

Over 10,000 people died in transit to Spain in 2024 alone. On June 2022, the border fence of Melilla, one of two Spanish enclaves in Morocco, was witness to a massacre that killed or disappeared over a hundred African migrants. A recent BBC investigation revealed that Greek border guards systematically repeal immigrants already on Greek land, hurling them back into the sea.

AP News · 26 killed in migrant boat capsizing off ItalyThe Italian coast guard says at least 26 people a boat carrying nearly 100 migrants capsized in international waters off the Italian island of Lampedusa.. Around another dozen were missing. The UNHCR spokesman in Italy said that 60 survivors were brought to a center in Lampedusa after Wednesday's capsizing. Survivors say there were 92 to 97 migrants on board when the boat departed Libya. Authorities were still searching for any remaining survivors. It wasn't immediately known how long the migrants had been at sea. The U.N. refugee agency says 675 migrants have died making the perilous central Mediterranean crossing so far this year. That doesn't count the latest sinking.

Stunning: This morning's front pages of the British press display utterly contrasting framing: FT and Guardian use a photo framing Channel crossing migrants as desperate survivors narrowly escaping horrific death, while The Daily Mail and the Daily Telegraph use a photo portraying them as a massive horde of screaming savages beach-landing. This is consistant with years of depicting refugees and migrants as invaders by tabloids in the UK.

As Frances Ryan points out, our political class are shrugging their shoulders even as they collude with & encourage a Right narrative of dangerous asylum seekers.

If you want an example of how the so-called 'centre' (now really no such thing) is always more relaxed about the extremists on the Right, then their ambivalence about anti-migrant (anti-asylum-seeker) rhetoric would be a good place to start.

Ryan is rightly angry & so should we be!
