The loony right believe the lockdown threatens individual freedom and enforces a form of communism. The loony left believe the lockdown is a proto-fascist threat to working class solidarity. Both are wrong.

By way of light relief I came across a few loonies in my SWP days. Because Trotsky said that capitalism would not last beyond the end of WW2, when the war ended and capitalism carried on, one sect declared that this was proof that the war was not over.

Another sect, the Posadists, believed that only under communism would interstellar space travel be possible. Ergo, UFOs were the new revolutionary vanguard sent to liberate us. Made a change from Russian tanks.

Speaking of Russians I read of a Stalinist who had only joined the CP because he was a spiritualist and believed that capitalism was suppressing the truth about the afterlife. He wanted a revolution to save our souls!
