The article supports what I have been saying on this blog for some time, the traditional Labour Party is dead – the Labour Party was hijacked by radical Far Left activists who’s primary objective is revolution. For the Far Left, and indeed the Far Right, the end justifies the means – there is no place for truth and evidence – frequently, violence is deployed to supress alternative opinion.

Iain Martin paints a vivid sketch of the risks of what he calls a socialist economic revolution. I’m no expert on Far Left revolutionary thought but here are a few alternative threads to follow:

  1. Communism
  2. Left Communism
  3. Democratic socialism
  4. Left-wing populism
  5. Populism
  6. Trotskyism
  7. Maoism
  8. Anarchist Communism
  9. Anarcho Syndicalism
  10. National Communism
  11. Authoritarian Socialism
  12. Autonomism

From a historical perspective, here are links to overviews of the more prominent revolutions:

  1. French Revolution
  2. Russian Revolution
  3. Chinese Communist Revolution
  4. Bolivarian Revolution
  5. Cuban Revolution
  6. Greek War of Independence

My position, of course, is biased. Politically, I’m a conservative or more precisely a one-nation conservative. For a fuller discussion of my politics, open this link.

For me, Jeremy Corbyn is a puppet for the Far-Left, he’s a sham, a showman – behind him lurks dark forces, waiting to precipitate a UK revolution. Watch for false news and riots, that will signal the beginning…

Surely, it’s time to stop the Pied Piper of Islington?

This article paints an alarming picture of US isolationism under President, Donald Trump. It suggests that the world is looking for a new global champion for liberal values.

This weekend Angela Merkel has encouraged European allies to speak with one voice to Trump in Hamburg next week. Of course, Trump will not be bullied – meanwhile Russia, China and non-European countries will be playing their own hands with new confidence because Trump has upset the established world order.

Despite huge promise and regular demonstrations, the G20 is well known for achieving little. But this time, rather than gains, we could see losses.
