@stephenlondoner An argument comes your way and you disappear I told you don't complain about actual arguments because you didn't want to have one. You wanted to defend a pathetic ambassador.

My father, a serving naval officer in European waters, was among thousands of British sailors, soldiers and airmen who would say confidently that the bomb probably saved his life.

Listen to the latter half especially and his definition of libertarian socialism. Beautifully said and what all on the Left who believe in socialism *and* democracy should strive for. An antidote to capitalism and Stalinism.
"Capitalism is a situation where people can systematically turn their wealth into power by control of productive resources.".

It's important to remember the Corbyn smear job was practiced for by an earlier, but milder hit job on Ed Miliband when he was Labour leader. Talk of 'Red Ed' and 'The Man Who Hated Britain' to refer to his father Ralph, were just some examples. This'll continue to happen.
Rachel Reeves launched an attack on Corbyn’s ‘ego’ as she accused him of ‘trying to destroy my party’.

I think Clinton, and now Harris, writing losers screeds are very revealing. These are individuals who sought office for the sake of it. And having lost the prize have found consolation in telling a tale and making some money on the side. It's no surprise they lost.
What the world saw on the campaign trail was only part of the story. My new book is a behind-the-scenes look at my experience leading the shortest presidential campaign in modern history. 107 Days is out on September 23. I can't wait for you to read it:

Modern Americans and Europeans have more in common with the indigenous peoples of North America than they do with their own ancestors.

'Confront them every time' is hilarious @LucyJayneWhite1 since it suggests people speaking other languages must be plotting Britain's downfall and you've done us all a service by interrupting. Truly comical stuff.
Just landed in Heathrow Airport T3. Went into M&S. Three @marksandspencer staff speaking in another language. I asked them “What language are you speaking?” . They responded “Hindi” . I have a voice recording & their names to report to M&S. We must confront them every time.

Always important to remember that peasants across the Soviet Union, workers in Spain and the sailors of Kronstadt were Nazis and oligarchs. Thank goodness we have stalinists to teach us.

'What these arguments leave out is that such "progress" is always at the expense of other people, who do not think of themselves as backwards and did not ask anyone else for their permission to exist.'.
Christopher Hitchens's theory of historical progress was faulty and dangerous, argues Zwan Mahmod. @ZwanMahmod .

'What differentiates an Israel animated by racism, expansionism, and religious fervour from the early European settlers and the then-burgeoning United States? In both examples, the more "advanced" countries claim a divine right to the land'.

'Even if Hitchens’ theory of historical change held internal logical consistency, it would still have to be repudiated as a form of thinking since it obviously risks setting a murderous precedent in which present or future atrocities are justified' My latest for The Freethinker.

Racism poisons the soul, cure yourself of it. There are antidotes aplenty to be found.

It's always easy to commemorate when there's no cost to doing so. Intellectual courage and honesty would require you to do so in the present moment when there is a cost.
Today we mark the 30th anniversary of the Srebrenica genocide, when over 8,000 predominantly Bosnian Muslim men and boys were brutally murdered. The horrors of Srebrenica remind us why we must remain vigilant against hatred and division. We must never forget.
