I remember the first time trump did a read from the scri[t speech and didn’t go off into his spiel. The american ‘respectable’ press were falling over themselves to declare this ‘Presidential’ demeanour

actually owning the means of production (or part ownership through share options) would be a start. I don’t think amy b counts as even petit bourgeois- amy might make more than the burger flipper but compared to the owners of Wendy’s? prole.

Michael Gove is a piece of shit. Come the revolution he will be mining salt with a spoon for 20 years, the pob-faced arsehole

I feel it demeans men, women and the concept of human achievement. It’d be more honest to buy a titty magazine and a KFC bucket. Cheaper too.

‘discrete’

mm, I disagree on one point, the NHS from its inception was a large but effective beast. Its the market reforms of the 70s onwards (yes thatcher but later blairs third way public/private internal market stuff) really started the rot. Nationalised medical care works and we proved it, still do to a great extent. Its

the discussion about immigration being had by the inept politicians in power is about EU migration. During her time as hom/sec long before the EU reff Theresa May was tinkering with commonwealth/wider world immigration rules to stave off the UKIP surge. As for the Statesman I’m afraid I hold it in little regard. The

most NHS workers from outside the UK come from outside of the EU.

apparently all (all of them!) antifascists are anarco-communists. This makes them terribly terribly bad, beacuse they want workers to own the means of production and land to be held in common and an end to racialised conflict and an end to racism and patriachal stuctures

in Broken Arrow one goes off underground in an unused mine. The EMP takes out a helicopter in mid air.

read Clash of Kings years before the show and found it good enough, a little nast in places but thats the nature of these things. I enjoyed fantasy having a little more moral ambiguity than most swords and sorcery but thought ‘its a nice trick but not as profound as people thin it is’

in the Wheel of Time books the author came up with many magical ways of travel to get around the fact that continent spanning warfare on a medieval travel framework is sort of not doable quickly.

he was a not-quite haute bourgeoisie poor kid at Eton. I enjoyed his poverty tourism works as much as the next man but lets not make him what he was not. And he was always a socialist. Your best bet to get something of clue to orwell’s inner life is to read ‘Keep the Aspidistras Flying’. It shows his certain

animal farm is Orwell’s critique of stalinism. He remained a socialist his entire life. Bit of a twat really but a first class writer. I’ve read him back to front, essays and all, so I do have to chuckle when people attempt to take animal farm as anything other than a wry allegorical take.

china and an american invasion of korea have nothing to do with it of course. The problem with american aggression towards NK is its just fuel for the propaganda. The closest analogy I can think of is of a schoolyard bully who can’t stop obsessing over that little pipsqueak* who got away cos of its bigger friends

unless you are expecting every socialist and advocate of a more equitable society to be wandering around in a robe with a begging bowl, lots. Engels was a rich man, and what did he do with his money?

When Tyrions just watching the lannister army get owned the Dothraki bloke next to him goes ‘Your people ca’t fight’

its been not-properly-commie for thirty years now, and yet this idea is yet to sink in with a lot of people. I mean I know they keep the commie-chic cosplay and kids learn marx and mao selected quotes by rote but thats about it.

Corbyn’s win had a lot more going on than Brexit. For most of us except the vocal sections of the press in some quarters know its going forward. Labour did well in heavy leave voting areas also. Its quite simply the manifesto, unashamed mild social democratic policies vs the same austerity the electorate has already

:D we’ll have to agree to differ. If we want to talk about wicky wicky wild west....now that really is a piece of shit movie. I paid to watch it in the cinema, thats £10 I’ll never get back
