i'm not quite sure how to respond to the furiously intellectual point above.....however. maybe the right or well-connected don't need to be that clever to succeed, they may reach the top with a bit of charm and a lively social life. not so easy for the left who - while we are past the days of workers' reading groups and pedalling to kinder scout trespasses while discussing marx and cuba in a cloud of pipe smoke, do need to work harder and be brighter than the tory types. relatively easy for a young graduate to live and find work in london if they can rely on their parents' money - otherwise its a struggle. once you realise that the rules are grossly unfair - to be 'left' is only natural for anyone with half a brain who isn't directly benefitting from the indulgence of friends of daddy.
despite asking -genuinely- for a reasoned argument from the right in favour of the current system of global capitalism and its gross injustice and inequalities, i've never seen one on here any more intellectual than 'well it's better than mao or stalin' - not good enough you twerps!
