      “Will the new Tory intake help to build a more progressive party? Don’t count on it”. Great piece by @ProfTimBale, based on a deep knowledge of the Conservative party and its membershiphttps://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/dec/19/tory-intake-young-mps?CMP=share_btn_tw …

      Aw, ta. Still, give it 25 years and I am sure all these Tory MPs will eventually absorb the socialist 'commonsense' as established by the Labour left's Gramscian approach.

      Reminder: Gramsci died in detention. While his writings were interesting, I could never quite understand why his strategy held such attraction? Didn't exactly work, did it?

          Socrates died in detention and didn't even bother to write anything down while locked up

          Does dying in detention invalidate someone's ideas?

          Scaring the fascists so much that they put you in jail sounds pretty damn successful to me
