re: #100 HappyWarrior

Huh are you saying Churchill was a socialist? He wasn’t. It is funny though regarding Orwell, they quote him relentlessly but ignore Orwell’s socialism and fighting to preserve the Spanish Republic. The problem is these people think every socialist is a murderer like Stalin. It’s a complex ideology. That’s my problem with it and I blame Palin in large part for the resurgence of that.

I often get my European figures mixed up. I suppose one could call Blair a socialist, being a Labour member and all. I do think some in America think the Labour party is a lot further to the left than it actually is. Anyone remember that Third Way bullshit?
