WYou call yourself a socialist but have always been"
When did do that Mike?
Whenever my politics has come up I have described myself as a humanist (with a small e), and a pacifist (sort of)
My politics has nothing to do with what I have said - here (unless you want to claim that Thatcher's fascisim is all a Trotskyist plot) and is none of your ******* business, as I have pointed out before.
You are now crudely indulging in McCarthyite smear tactics to avoid acknowledging Thatchers' fascist leanings - you are not even as good at it as he was, but practice.... as the man told the lady,,,,,, Carnegie Hall.
I could claim that yours (and the Iron lady's) views are not unsimilar to those who sent six million human beings to their deaths in Europe's gas chambers during the course of both our lives, but I try to avoid taking any discussion into the sewers.
You obviously have no such qualms.
Whatever my politics are, I'm fairly confident that they would never lead my to the defence of those who suggest that mass murder is in any way a form of democracy, let alone, a shining example of it
Jim Carroll
By the way - I have no problems in discussing my politics with those I respect, not agree with, just respect, and am confident they will not be used as a substitute for honest argument.
You're name isn't even on the waiting list
