WeX Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 ralph milliband sserved in the royal navy through the war - he served at the D Day landings, he campaigned for a free, peaceful socialist britain all his life. Lord rothermere was a fascist collaborator - he put 'hurrah for the blackshirts' on the front page of his dirty rag 'the mail', he met with and supported hitler (from whom ralph escaped). the mail slanders ralph milliband!!!????? er................................. Marxism is not peaceful. and the phrase "my enemy's enemy is my friend" comes to mind after hearing how much he disliked many aspects of the British nation. but, then again, this is all well in the past and Miliband Jnr is not his father.

Chris_Sleeps Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Marxism is not peaceful. It's a political theory. This is getting dumber by the minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeX Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 It's a political theory. This is getting dumber by the minute. True, in fact there is no definitive Marxist theory as its more of an ideology. Kinda' like fascism, but no one would say fascism was peaceful, well not in practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hillpig Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 The real issue coming out of this is Eds reaction, can you see Blair, Brown or any other former PM reacting in this way? If the Daily Mail article is wrong, as Ed claims, then it becomes irrelevant. It will soon fade into oblivion. It is Ed who has kept this going with help from the Labour parties pet attack dog Campbell. Given his reaction to provocation is he the right man to be in charge of the nuclear button? As Prime Minister he needs to be cold and calculated, this outbreak of near hysteria does not bode well. I have slept on it and I have come to the conclusion that, as usual, I am right.

Relatives of Hitler are alive and well and living in Canada. It one of them came over here and stood for parliament would you feel that his background was relevant?

You could say similiar about men who leave their children in pubs. It's not like Fascism at all.

Chris_Sleeps Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Oh yes it is because they are both totalitarian Not exactly. Political philosophy is a little more complex. In rough terms, historically, they both tend towards one party states. That's been true. Marx however doesn't argue for that, just a "rule of the proletariat". It is how people put that into practice that varies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mecky Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Oh yes it is because they are both totalitarian, two opposite extremes controlled by dictators! Marxism is not a dictatorship and was never formulated into an exact system. Marx himself never said people should do one thing or another but speculated what would happen to society if different conditions were met. The political right do not like Marxism for its criticism of Capitalism, yet every country in the world operates a capitalist system. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marxism ---------- Post added 03-10-2013 at 16:48 ---------- Anyway, back on track. Everyone know the DM was wrong in what it did, even if they don't like to admit it. The DM said it will apologise this Sunday, no doubt to try and boost its circulation, but in doing so I also suspect they will not pass off the opportunity to have another swipe to some lesser extent.
