Comrade Alan Milburn and his army of Useful Idiots
Perpetual student: Alan Milburn launched a bone-headed attack on universities
"Why is it so hard for us to see what is right in front of our noses?
Last week, the one-time Trotskyist and perpetual student Alan Milburn (he still hasn’t finished his PhD), in a ‘commission’ set up by Gordon Brown (a student hard Leftist himself), launched an apparently bone-headed assault on the professions and the great universities.
Can Mr Milburn really be as stupid as he sounds? Or is there another motive here? What sort of Government is this really? (I think I know but do you Peter?!)
Just days ago we learned that the latest Defence Secretary, in his 30s, attended an unknown number of meetings of the secretive, pro-IRA International Marxist Group, an episode he flatly refuses to discuss further.
Given that this Government did in fact grant ‘Victory to the IRA’, as the IMG demanded, it seems relevant to me. One of his forerunners, the menacing ‘Doctor’ John Reid, was an adult member of the pro-Soviet Communist Party.
The most powerful Minister in the Government is Peter Mandelson once a member of the Young Communist League. Tony Benn, who ought to know, maintains that the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Alisair Darling was also an active Trotskyist and levels a similar allegation against Stephen Byers, once a prominent member of the Blairite inner circle.
None of these people has ever been frank about his Marxist past or apologised for it or explained it. Almost all of them would have kept it secret if they could (just as Anthony Blair dishonestly denied his membership of that KGB tool, the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament).
None of them, in my view, has given up the radicalism of the past. They have simply discovered that they can use Parliament to achieve a revolution they once thought would need barricades and red flags. And these, I stress, are only the ones we know about.
Who knows how many others – MPs, Ministers, civil servants, judges, BBC executives, even Bishops – still treasure revolutionary aims? Now, there is one other recorded instance of a Marxist government coming to power legally in an advanced, law-governed parliamentary democracy with a strong middle class and independent professions. That is Czechoslovakia in 1948.
The parallels are not, of course, exact. The Czech communists had Russian tanks behind them and could move much faster and much more ruthlessly. But they concentrated their attacks on the police, the armed forces and the professions.
And they sought to drive the middle classes out of higher education, by deliberate discrimination against those whose parents were professionals themselves.
They also destroyed the savings of the middle class, attacked religion and the married family, used the schools for relentless propaganda and rapidly dismantled the constitutional protections against absolute power.
Remind you of anywhere? I said back in 1997 that New Labour was engaged in a slow-motion coup d’etat. Speed up the past 12 years (like that wonderful old film London To Brighton In Four Minutes) and you could easily see it for what it is.
But most of the media classes still moronically describe New Labour as ‘Right-wing’. Marxists have a term for them as well. It is ‘Useful Idiots’.
- The last remaining hereditary peers seem to be doomed. The Tory Party, too greedy for office to have any principles, don’t understand that this is a bad thing.
Once the peers are gone, the Throne will be next and what principle will they be able to call on to defend that, having sold this pass?
And doesn’t Mr Cameron think inheritance is important, not least when it concerns the property and money he hopes to inherit? Bet he does. Quite right too.
Without the right of inheritance, there’s no private property. Without private property, there’s no liberty. That’s why socialist revolutionaries hate the hereditaries.
Is election such a guarantee of quality? Recent events in the Commons don’t seem to suggest so.
As for appointed peers, do we really prefer the foul-mouthed Alan Sugar to some decrepit, diffident 19th Earl of somewhere, smelling faintly of old dog, with a crumbling country house and a thousand years of duty and honour behind him?"
By Peter Hitchens 25th July 2009.Why is it so hard for us to see what is right in front of our noses? asks Hitchens.
Well, Niki Rapaana has recently been asking a similar question:
“.. Why can't the left or the right see the PERFECT middle? Why is communitarianism still a taboo topic to scholars who so easily break every other taboo?..”
New Labour, Old Labour, the Tories, Liberals, Scottish Nationalists and Greens - what do they have in "common"?
They are all commies!
Communists?
No, they are ALL COMMUNITARIAN.
When will Peter Hitchens and other well known mainstream journalists stop being "Useful Idiots" themselves, and write about Julia Middleton, Common Purpose and the great danger the British people face from the European Union, which is no longer somewhere politicians go to in Brussels or Strazbourg but is right here, right now, taking over in Britain through its ugly offspring - the greedy, bloated and ever-expanding Third Sector?
When will mainstream British journalists have the courage to start reporting using the correct political terminology?
When will they stop referring to the completely out-of-date deception of "left" and "right" and, instead, tackle the truth - that both are Communitarian?
