    Yes, Robbo. TS identifies with states, not with people!

    “This will spell the end of the world. If it happens better quit your job and spend all your money quicksmart. Neither will be of use any longer.”

    And this shows he even relishes the thought!

    And following his nationalist ‘logic’, we should all be gung-ho for “our” flags and govts too! Otherwise, we’re “cowards.”

    Wez, far from being sympathetic to us, it’s the Left who are responsible for damaging the word SOCIALISM so much that it’s well-nigh unusable.
    Think how easier life would be if we didn’t always have to begin with saying what we are NOT, and could just say straight-off what we ARE. But as soon as “Socialism” is mentioned, we’re fighting a rearguard action.

    But mainly slaughtering proles!

    Aristocrats guillotined 6%.
    Labourers, ” 80%
    The rest, poor clerics, poets, scientists, writers, asocials.

    I repeat, when was the Left progressive?

    TS obviously enjoys keeping company with us. Maybe he thinks he is getting our backs up, rattling our cage, etc. Quite the opposite. He keeps me entertained.

    Let’s hope he learns something – which he won’t of course admit to – from members’ contributions here.

    TS’s stance is similar to that of the conspiracy theorists, who discard everything someone says because of one thing they don’t like.
    They too are ideology-followers, not analytical thinkers.
    One, a flat-earther, was enthusing to me that there are THOUSANDS of flat-earthers, “proving” in itself that the Earth is flat! 😀

    “There are 93 million in the CPC. Who’s winning the battle of ideas?”

    The Communist (sic!) Party of China is the club for China’s capitalist class. During Mao’s regime it was a nationalist clique that imposed itself on the population and inflicted on workers and peasants decades of misery, bloodshed, torture, intimidation and coercive regimentation, promoting the idolatry of one man and his sycophantic clique-members. It never had anything to do with ideas or freethought, which require free people and democratic, free expression. It destroyed centuries of literary works and records, and thought was subjected to fascist control.
    Today, the CPC remains an imposed authoritarian tool of Chinese capitalism and imperialism.

    TS is a prime example of my definition of IDEOLOGY vs philosophy/analytical thought. As an ideology-follower, he can only repeat the slogans of his Bolshevik masters/propagandists. Never does any social analysis intervene.

    Could serve as a frontispiece to Orwell’s 1984.
