Landslide victory for the conservatives

Q: is it time that the Labour Party to be shelved as socialism is on the decline?

Perhaps a new middle ground party should evolve?

In most experiences Socialism tends to favour those with the reigns - the intellectuals, eventually converting themselves to such a narrow version of socialist doctrine that it simply becomes dictatorial, and before you know it, it's rife with penalties for overstepping your designated rank seeking or desires that the collective don't want you to have or control. Then come the watchers, the army of controllers, the re-education centres . . .

If you fancy a good read on the many historical yet failed tries at socialism try:

"Kristian Niemietz. 'Socialism. The Failed Idea That Never Dies'.

In it, he asserts that of the more than two dozen attempts at Socialism each has failed. . . . "

If Labour move further and further to the right, they'll end up offering no really alternative to the status quo. Sure they might win power, but that won't offer an improvement for any of us.

Do they want to win, and be the same as the Tories. Or offer a real alternative, and get nowhere near to power?

Well either way they have lost.

Time to consign them to history as serial losers.

And let my new favourites the Greens through sure they are losing now but watch this space.

I agree, in my opinion, the main parties only care about "winning", none of them seem concerned with doing a good job of running the country.

I’ve seen the misery firsthand what it brings. It’s not fun. But then I guess that was the “wrong” socialism. I think that’s the stock line.

"The Unwilling Dictator" is a good book.

Choice is better, and I support the potential to change government at 4/5 year intervals. But I feel like the whole system is not set up to serve the people, but primarily to serve big business, and the rich.

I looked to find out. God knows who actually reads the Guardian, woeful newspaper.

I'm not usually one to quote any newspaper at all. But seeing as this is the point of the post, rather than saying I am agreeing with what's said. This is what the guardian is saying at the moment:

"Sir Keir Starmer has pledged to redouble efforts to regain the trust of the British public following Labour’s defeat in Hartlepool - but he and his allies have found it hard to articulate how this could be achieved. (See 8.29am and 4.36pm.) Labour leftwingers have said he should embrace Jeremy Corbyn’s policy agenda, Lord Mandelson has said the party needs to show that it understands “Brexit values” (see 1.07pm) and Lord Adonis has effectively said that Starmer should resign"

"Funny the people whinging most about socialism seemed quite happy about a natinal health service running a natinal vaccination service to everyone in the country.

About as central planning as you can get.

Let's not forget Sir Henry Urmston Willink, 1st Baronet a Conservative MP was the person who had the idea of creating the NHS.

So the Tories now get the credit for doing something when they were not even in power?"

As much as you would like to rewrite history you can't.

It's a fact a Conservative MP had the idea of the NHS and wrote the white paper on it when in Government.

"Meanwhile Labour activists ask for Labour to return to the left.

So people are voting Tory in their droves but I know let’s go further left as a strategy. Hmmmmmmmmm

Glorious.

If Labour move further and further to the right, they'll end up offering no really alternative to the status quo. Sure they might win power, but that won't offer an improvement for any of us.

Do they want to win, and be the same as the Tories. Or offer a real alternative, and get nowhere near to power?

Well either way they have lost.

Time to consign them to history as serial losers.

And let my new favourites the Greens through sure they are losing now but watch this space. "

"Funny the people whinging most about socialism seemed quite happy about a natinal health service running a natinal vaccination service to everyone in the country.

Having a few Social policies doesnt equal socialism

Right..so that part of socialism is ok?

Some parts are ok sure,

Doesnt mean we have to start implementing Marx and engels's communist utopia do we

When you start taking away the choice of the private individual to be in control of their own economy we start to get into issues.

Plus the Nazi's had some pretty good policies when it came to the rights of the worker. Hitler was a socialist, just didnt like the Marxism–Leninism kind, in the same way he actually disliked capitalism also

Doesnt mean i want National Socialism

Sorry..I stopped reading at Hitler was a socialist

Out of curiosity..what good policies did the nazis have?

Well he was...He says so in mein kampf. He was also never a fan of Italian Facism that much. You can literally just replace class with race and what he said is similar to Marx ect

Cant remember off the top of my head. but there was stuff to do with workers rights within factories, breaks and common rooms that kinda thing

You realise he wrote main kampf?

One of the 1st things he did was crush the unuins.

He wasnt a socialist

Quite the opposite "

Hitler wrote Mein Kampf? News to me

I recommend you look up Otto Wagener and the conversations he had with Hitler

"The task is to find and travel the road from individualism to socialism without revolution" Is one quote

Hitler didnt want Germans fighting Germans like what happened in Russia

Marxism/Leninism is international socialism while Hitler wanted National Socialism

Outstanding

Socialism is evil...nasty..well apart that bit which is ok

Superb

No political party nor one person has the right ideas and ideals all the time.

Brilliant

It always amused me when people used to come on here ranting about Corbyn and when.asked just what policies do you specifically disagree with,there eas radio silence

You mean no body mentioned nationalisation of industries, giving free internet etc etc spend spend spend, no I'm sure we all supported that.

Free internet?

Yep that would have been am absolute disaster this last year wouldnt it?

Amd mass privatisation has obvs been an unqualified success.

Compared to the mess the industries were when publicly owned yes they have IN GENERAL been good.

I cant really argue with that.

We have no industries left

Rail prices have gone through the room.

The probation service has been that much of a success, its being re nationaslised.

Ditto some rail services

But on The whole its been a success.

"

Glad you agree that on the whole it has been a success.

Perhaps you should do some research before posting, while it is true that peak day time walk up prices have increased more than inflation, season ticket prices are on average no dearer when inflation is taken into account and off peak advance tickets are cheaper, passenger numbers are at record levels, of course this has led to the major gripe of overcrowding.

In most experiences Socialism tends to favour those with the reigns - the intellectuals, eventually converting themselves to such a narrow version of socialist doctrine that it simply becomes dictatorial, and before you know it, it's rife with penalties for overstepping your designated rank seeking or desires that the collective don't want you to have or control. Then come the watchers, the army of controllers, the re-education centres . . .

If you fancy a good read on the many historical yet failed tries at socialism try:

"Kristian Niemietz. 'Socialism. The Failed Idea That Never Dies'.

In it, he asserts that of the more than two dozen attempts at Socialism each has failed. . . . "

Funnily in my lifetime the present system has crashed multiple times.So many stock market crashes , so many times i have heard the unions are holding us to ransom . All the while jobs are cut, terms and conditions are bulldozed and the working class picks up the tab as the money men head for the hills....So all the crowing from Tories at labours problems only can be put down to arrogance, or the belief that your own children will not end up in the gig economy, zero hour contracts and no pensions ...It will not end well for any of us regardless of who we vote for

Everyone gets to enrol into a work pension so you're wrong there.

What terms and conditions have been bulldozed ?

Up to the start of the pandemic job numbers were at record levels, perhaps looking at facts instead of listening to lies might help.

Anyone can lose their job or business, it's how you respond is key.

However I most firmly believe that the poorer areas of the country need more help, that too many governments over the last 30 years have relied on the London money economy at the expense of "real" jobs and trades, Boris has said he is going to redress that balance, I'm sure the voters in the north will hold him to it, after they over the last couple of years have done that to labour,we had 13 years of labour in which they took over a booming economy, why didn't THEY bring more to the north, especially as Blair represented a northern constituency? They are too london based also,

Historically in England its usually the party thats not in power that wins the most votes, that shows how poor labour are performing.

In fact it would appear in County Durham many many Labour voters have been walking away shaking their heads... and crossing the Conservative, LibDem and Independent ballot paper boxes.

Bishop Auckland went Blue at the GE (Helen Godman who was the previous Labour MP for years and years even failed in her bid this time to become a county councillor ), Darlington - Blue, Hartlepool - Blue, North West Durham - Blue, Sedgefield - Blue . City of Durham - Red but with a much reduced majority ....

At what point do Labour stop blaming others for their own failings - whatever they may be .

Try looking at facts not make believe,nhs spending as a percentage of gdp was higher for all but two years during MT time than it was during the previous labour time before, gdp growth was also higher .

In most experiences Socialism tends to favour those with the reigns - the intellectuals, eventually converting themselves to such a narrow version of socialist doctrine that it simply becomes dictatorial, and before you know it, it's rife with penalties for overstepping your designated rank seeking or desires that the collective don't want you to have or control. Then come the watchers, the army of controllers, the re-education centres . . .

If you fancy a good read on the many historical yet failed tries at socialism try:

"Kristian Niemietz. 'Socialism. The Failed Idea That Never Dies'.

In it, he asserts that of the more than two dozen attempts at Socialism each has failed. . . . "

The woman in Hartlepool who said about kier Starmer turning up eating fish and chips and drinking a beer to prove he was one of them sums it up lol and demonstrates your point..... a barrister... labour have lost their roots..

It's quite often I vote for people on the basis of what they eat and drink tbf

you must be odd then lionel! or do you just like to make daft contrary comments?

the woman went on to say, does he really think that sort of stunt wins votes, it shows a contempt for the voters of hartlepool, as if he thinks they all have a whippet and a flat cap... fact is labour did nothing for the area...

Well as they were not in power thats hardly a surprise.

Did the winning candidate come from hartlepool?

are you on drugs? hartlepool has always had a labour council...! well until now..

I camt believe I have to spell this out for you..as it seems to be a widely held perception.. labour do not run the country..the gmbt do..I've just seen 2 people from hartlepool blaming labour for the lack of hospitals.. its genuinely surreal.

we are talking about the elections, the council elections! obviously you think everyone in hartlepool is stupid for voting conservative lol when they should have just carried on voting labour for the rest of their lives like good boys and girls, proper working class people? like grandad did? lol

Oh dear

People have been interviewed in hartlepool saying they voted tory beciade of the cuts made to the likes of the nhs.

I'll type this out slowly.

The labour party did not make these cuts."

How do these people get so confused?

why did the voters in Hartlepool vote tory? I think they thought they might get more money out of Westminster with a government MP. Kier & many prominent labour politicians did not respect the leave vote in the referendum, he needs to apologise to Brexit voters & put forward a clear philosophy & policy for the future.

"Up here, Mr Johnson was massively bolstered by local Tory Tees Valley Mayor Ben Houchen's huge personal following.

"He's the only one who's ever done anything for us," is how a cab driver in Darlington put it to me.

A freeport, a revived local airport, people in the North East region see a new band of Tory MPs and a Conservative mayor bringing investment into the region, and that has built momentum going into the Hartlepool by-election.

The calculation for plenty of voters here is that nothing really improved for decades voting Labour, so why not give the Conservatives a chance."

Outside of a militants classroom and Budenovka wearing Stalinists: Socialism in the West is a failed thought exercise and a romantic notion of marching forward while happily tilling the land for the great emancipation of the people. Forgetting all the time that there never has been a socialism anywhere in the world that hasn't resulted in failure and persecution of the very people it says it serves. There has never actually been a Socialism in the West.

Mature politics never embraced it, even in the Labour Party. So no matter how many copies of Socialist worker that you buy and read you have to at some point realize that it's just a Comic full of fanciful stories from a long gone past. It's time to grow-up and put such notions behind you.

I suppose there is a certain irony in saying how much of a failure socialism has been,when the only thing the buffoon has got right,is to use a system created by a socialist gmnt.

Whereas the capitalist side, ppe contracts,reaching and trace..have been such a success

Hey ho.

Outstanding

Socialism is evil...nasty..well apart that bit which is ok

Superb

No political party nor one person has the right ideas and ideals all the time.

Brilliant

It always amused me when people used to come on here ranting about Corbyn and when.asked just what policies do you specifically disagree with,there eas radio silence

You mean no body mentioned nationalisation of industries, giving free internet etc etc spend spend spend, no I'm sure we all supported that.

A man aheadn9f the curve

The tories

Said stay at home & we will give you

Free money .

They calked Corbyn a Lunatic .

They are now calling Bodge a Genius .

Funny how they twist & turn to suit any argument

They are losing .

When corbyn suggested everyone got free wi fi he was branded a communist.

When the gmnt decided to issue free lap tops too kids during the pandemic, they were applauded.

That's the type of pervasive 'logic 'we have in this well informed country of ours "

You cant see the difference from giving poor kids laptops to carry on with their schooling to giving people who are on a decent wage and can afford it free wifi ?

In most experiences Socialism tends to favour those with the reigns - the intellectuals, eventually converting themselves to such a narrow version of socialist doctrine that it simply becomes dictatorial, and before you know it, it's rife with penalties for overstepping your designated rank seeking or desires that the collective don't want you to have or control. Then come the watchers, the army of controllers, the re-education centres . . .

If you fancy a good read on the many historical yet failed tries at socialism try:

"Kristian Niemietz. 'Socialism. The Failed Idea That Never Dies'.

In it, he asserts that of the more than two dozen attempts at Socialism each has failed. . . . "

And resulted in persecution and many millions of deaths

As opposed to capitalism which has spread peace And love around the world?"

No one said its perfect, but its better.

But i dont see anyone in capitalist countries being executed for wearing glasses do you?

I dont see anyone in capitilist countries getting the whole population to kill sparrows ending in famine and the starvation of millions

I dont see anyone in capitilist countries being pulled out there farms and beaten to death for the crime of just ownership and employing people

3 different examples from 3 different socialist regimes.

Thats just scr aping the surface

I guess they just where not the right type of socialism

As i said better, not perfect. Nothing is perfect that would be Utopia which arguably can never exist until post scarcity. Even then arguements could be made any Utopia in reality is a Dystopia

What atrocities can you name in the last 100 ish years that have been done expressly because of capitalist ideology and especially committed on a states own populace?

And tbh I wouldnt count proxy wars between the West and Russia or China during the Cold War as they could be seen as wars against socialist aggression and expansion

World war 1 and world war 2 were absolutely nothing to do with communism

Hitler murdered 6 million people and he was no communist.

Iraq and Afghanistan

So are you saying Vietnam for example was justified because it was a war against communism?

WW1 started because of Imperialism not Capitalism, they are not the same. Capitalism is based on voluntary exchange that benefits all parties involved, imperialism is based on exploitation and the exercise of political power, generally backed by a military force.

So you are just going to ignore what i have said about Hitler and his want for National Socialism not international socialism like Marxism then i guess. The war started because of Hitlers want of living space (Lebensraum) for the German people. Most likely for increased food production that it would allow. Nothing to do with the free trade between people. Oh and it was more than 6 million, fucks me off that people spout that number because it completely ignores the rest. Actual number is more like 14 million

Iraq and Afghanistan was to try and install Democractic goverment and remove legimate terrorist threats from a country.Russia did the same, but wanted to install a socialist goverment, not a free and democratic one. Oh and they crushed people under Tanks as a punishment for working with the Mujahideen. Ofcourse there is an arguement that behind the scenes people wanted the war for Oil or to sate the military industrial complex

Vietnam yes i think the war itself was quite justified to stop the march of the NVA even though ultimately it was a failure. Their war for independance i agree with, just not the people that hijacked it for their own idelogical gain. Agreeing with the reasoning of war doesnt mean i agree with tactics that are used however. Same with Korea

Imperialism is another facet of capitalism.

Both wars were absolutely nothing to do with socialism /communism.

If you think Iraq in particular was nothing to do with oil, there isnt much I can say to that.

Hitler was as far from a socialist as it's likely to be.

He thought an ideological war against communism as he considered them (untermenshen(sp?)

He wanted to crush bolshevism.

So in terms of Vietnam, it's perfectly acceptable to invade a country,because you dont like the politics of some of the people?

Ignore my point about oil.

The fact remains countless people died in iraq and afghan because of a war started by a capitalist power.

Again nothing whatsoever to do with capitalism

God knows how many deaths the Americans have been responsible for, down the years.

Socialism Kills its own people for ideology. Along with invading other countries and killing them.

Capitalism goes to war against socialism and the ideology it peddles. Then makes money out the rebuild and steals the oil.

Funny old world.

However I’ve lived under socialism and it’s not fun. Give me capitalism any day.

Europe is turning right and turning it’s back on it. Socialism is a dead concept at the moment and a dirty word in the media. It’s what made Corbyn toxic he was slathered in it.

You know socialist regimes dont agree and fight each other right? Spain for example during 1936 to 1939. You know Bolshevism isnt the only socialist doctrine? He disliked both Capitalism and Bolshevism as he thought both where Jewish plots. Just because he used some aspects of capiltism to his advantage doesnt mean that was the end goal, remember Hitler had twelve years in the end to try and install what he wanted. The USSR had nearly a hundred and still failed.

Again i recommend you do a bit of research into his private conversations with mostly Otto Wagener. Interesting stuff and shows you it wasnt as straight forward as Hitler = Capitalist = Facist. Life is alot more grey than that

When that "some" try to impose their will with force over the majority then yeah i do i guess

It's quite weird how socialism is such a discredited concept, yet some of the most progressive and happiest places on the planet, denmark,Norway etc happily embrace many socialist policies.

Whilst a kingdom that despises them is about as divided as its possible to be.

You are talking "Gleichschaltung" which was the co-ordination of all aspects of life in Germany to fit in with Hitler's ideas and his authority. Again because he thought they were socialists of the wrong type.

Just like how factions in Spain ended up fighting each other. POUM(Anti-Stalionist)vs the PCE and PSUC who were pro Stalin

I have explained it like four times and you obivously are not even really properly reading what i type.

You still appear to be arguing he was a socialist but he didnt like other socialists

And my points still seem to be going higher than a 747 above your head

I even gave you an example of Socialism vs Socialism and didnt even go into Stalinism vs Trotskyism

He called himself a natinal socialist

That is intself a misnomer as socialism is supposed to be international."

Original Marxist theory was yes

Its almost like there are different forms of socialism..

Stalinism for example was the theory of socialism in one country...

Weird.

How many times do you have to be told that having some socialist policies is not the same as socialism.

So socialism is a dead concept but socialist policies are fine?

There you have it. Some policies, regardless of where they originate are interchangeable.

I know you may struggle with that but it's clear.

Did you see the amount of handouts the governement has given to the citizens of the UK last year?

Is it a handout if its paid back ?

Corbyn is slated on here for his crazy left wing schemes.. but you are now saying some of them make sense?

Who is paying back furlough? Or SEISS? Or the business rates grants? Or the extra UC payments?

Increased tax,pay freezes

You mean all of us?

Would it be likely that these things may have happened anyway?

As they were, to the people who received them, they were most definitely handouts. Those don't have to personally pay them back. I know, i received some.

Ignoring my point about corbs?"

Ignoring my point that at times, handouts are needed. Just not all the time.

"

But he was not a communists/socialist in any sense of the word.

Like I said the other day,one of the 1st things he did was crush the unions.

You are talking "Gleichschaltung" which was the co-ordination of all aspects of life in Germany to fit in with Hitler's ideas and his authority. Again because he thought they were socialists of the wrong type.

Just like how factions in Spain ended up fighting each other. POUM(Anti-Stalionist)vs the PCE and PSUC who were pro Stalin

But the bottom line Is the misery he inflicted on the world was absolutely nothing to do with socialism

Only after being ostrachised by the west

Socialism by it's very nature is meant to be international as its class based,not nation.

Wrong -

Furlough is NOT paid back.

Grants that the Government have paid to businesses are NOT paid back.

Restart Grants are NOT paid back.

ZERO Rates for businesses 2 years are NOT paid back.

(Long term tax may or may not however take account of them. )

"Irony..

"noun: irony

the expression of one's meaning by using language that normally signifies the opposite, typically for humorous or emphatic effect."

So if you actually apply your stated 'irony' statement to your argument you are agreeing with us then.
