That was a joke, admittedly not very funny: it would hardly stand up in court. Do you have any idea what communism is? It is nothing that any of the main parties subscribe to. If Labour are communists then the Tories are fascists. I don't think either statement is true, but the latter is as reasonable an assessment as the former.
let's have a go:
1. are you sure that was a joke? if these "little red books" are so easy to come by could you post a picture of one in your personal possession or just procured at the drop of a hat? Let me open your eyes: it's his personal copy. wtf would someone own one. someone like in this picture
why would someone associate himself with Stalin or Mao if not a commie sic OWNING THE LRB.
2. do I know what communism is?
Try this from their manifesto:
The Communists disdain to conceal their views and aims. They openly declare that their ends can be attained only by the forcible overthrow of all existing social conditions. Let the ruling classes tremble at a Communistic revolution.
What do you think "forcible overthrow" means? i'll give you a clue: virtually all teachers were got rid of in soviet Russia. why get rid of teachers? were they oppressors? what did the commies do in Poland? check this out: The
Katyn massacre "Katyn execution by shooting") was a series of
mass executions of about 22,000
Polish military officers and
intelligentsia carried out by the
Soviet Union,
if this was the ONLY negative of communism and I still would not want it. but.......
oh by the way: stalin and mao killed by the million.
now, what does this have with "labour" ? do you remember WE'LL JUST TAX THE TOP 5% . or do you remember when johnny boy urged his comrades to lynch some tory woman? hmmm, pretty commie if you ask me and the vast majority of people who did not vote for them.
3. the tories are fascists
Fascism is a form of
government that is a type of one-party
dictatorship. They work for a
totalitarian one-party state.
[1] This aim is to prepare the nation for armed conflict, and to respond to economic difficulties.
[2] Fascism puts nation and often race above the individual. It stands for a centralized government headed by a
dictator.
[3] Historically, fascist governments tend to be
autocratic,
militaristic, and
racist. In the
Third Reich, the national socialist party, ethnic German society was pictured as a racially unified hierarchy, the
Volksgemeinschaft
absolutely ridiculous
Does this constitute a thorough shredding?
think so
