Paul (2) You're right of course. But for true balance maybe an aged member of the national socialist party from Germany would give the balance you require.

Well, the piece on the Today programme about ID cards just shows how important the phrasing of an opinion poll can be.
Can't remember the exact words, but 59% were in favour of ID cards.
The question was along the lines of: Are you in favour of an ID card that can be used to combat terrorism, crime and fraud?
Hmmmmmmmm......

2.
One consequence of that old Stalinism was that it put class justice on the map.
Those who thought it their right to lead the bourgeois life and escape from manual work for yet another generation, used to think they felt the cold wind of the Gulag in their souls.
'What if such policies were agreed by a majority party?' they squirmed. (Don't worry, you'd get three square a day, shelter in the housing project and benefit levels of income****)
It meant, too, that what is now the white underclass could see the middle classes as the problem, that THEIR exploitation was the cause of misery and poverty.
Today that truth is disavowed and the ex traditional white working class turns its aggression on itself. (In this absence of left analysis we get working class racism.)
The truth is, that the whole hierarchy needs inverting, with the idle rich taking on the worst jobs of all, the overexploited becoming the intellectual, admin and exec etc classes and that traditional white working class stratum performing a pivot role, resuming new work, as the world performs a revolution.
**** (((:-)), just, I think.)
Alternatively, ask David Cameron to be your Gulag rep. for better conditions.
Or, turn on the haute bourgeois like him, and make them pick the strawberries, empty the wheelies, clean the streets and lavatories, mend the motorways in all weathers etc.

TRW, "One consequence of that old Stalinism was that it put class justice on the map."
Well, if killing the class you don't approve of puts them on the map, I suppose, it does help to murder six million people who disagree with you. Certainly doing that made it easier for Stalin to get his way about being a really good exponent of communism, exploiting the working class without any fear of reprisal and having all the wealth and power he could possibly desire.
Lumme what tosh you do peddle...
