I see @DPJHodges is trending because of this tweet. Why? Because the anti-Semitic defenders of Jeremy Corbyn are all piling on. The truth is that the NF, BNP & EDL never came within a million miles of power, while Corbyn could be our next Prime Minister. That’s why it matters.https://twitter.com/DPJHodges/status/1154704373081169921 …

I suppose Corbyn did say "if Britain were to become Jew-clean she would have no n*gger neighbours to worry about" Wait, no, sorry, that was John Tyndall, chairman of the National Front. My mistake.
-
Oh dear. You didn’t understand the question.
-
Ah, sorry, I didn't realise we were conflating all forms of socialism and all forms of antisemitism so it could be represented by one British politician. Do go on.
-
Adam, I’m sure you think you’re being very clever but, genuinely, this is just embarrassing. Don’t defend the indefensible.
-
It's not that clever to know the differences between the socialism that developed in China (going straight from feudalism) and Corbyn's socialism which is based on a post-capitalist revolution.

Where did I say "true socialism"? If I pointed out the difference between American and British capitalism, while you could say that one was more "true" than the other, it would be clear that both are valid versions.

Well done Adam, Brewer is a disgrace

He said the ideology of Corbynism. We know you're slow but the tweet is right there.
-
And what is that ideology based on?
-
Democracy ..... and a fair society, eradicating racism, bigotry and inequality.
-
Eradicating homeless, looking after the sick, the vulnerable and the elderly. Making sure our veterans are looked after when they come home.
-
And making sure those with obscene wealth pay their taxes and make offshore tax havens illegal.

This is astonishingly dishonest, even by your standards, but if you're going to start playing those games, Julia, don't you think it's time you acknowledged the victims of your beloved Tory government?https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/jun/01/perfect-storm-austerity-behind-130000-deaths-uk-ippr-report …

Now we're seeing your true malady. No, socialism hasn't murdered anyone. Communism has. I was going to say that "conservatism hasn't killed anybody Nazism has" but as you are well aware of the deaths happening right now because of conservatism, I cannot make that claim.
-
Communism has never been attained. It is a utopian end state delivered via and following a Socialist phase. Socialism as we all know (except you) has been tried in 24 countries since 1917 and has been a murderous disaster in all of them.
-
In China and Russia, socialism came from a feudal state and so wasn't Marx's idea of socialism. That still makes it "socialist", but it is different than British/European socialism. In Chile, an example of a democratically elected Marxist leader, the CIA staged a coup.
-
Agree the Russian and Chinese Revolutions were simply methods by which a set of opportunistic murderous gangsters took power. Socialism gave convenient philosophical cover. What about the other 22 countries in which self identified Socialist regimes have been in power ?
-
I also believe that they all have slightly different models that would separate themselves from Corbyn's socialism too, which was my point

-
So despite local variations it is the case is it not that Socialism the precursive stage leading to Communism has been a murderous disaster everywhere it has been tried. What is it about Corbynism leads you to conclude that his type of Socialism would yield a different result ?

Pay me £100 and I'll write you 1000 words

Mmmm very socialist or is it communist....it's one of them anyway. I suspect your Corbynism is a fashion statement, empty of serious thought or conceptual grounding. But if I'm wrong come the revolution you can come around and shoot me.Make sure you hold the right end of the gun.
