Out of date does not equate to being wrong though. One has to guard against
the so called wisdom from the new Labourites and the original idea of
socialism. The clue is in the word.
I'd suggest if there really is a groundswell of real socialists out there,
and this is reflected in the general population, he should have no trouble
setting up a party with his union friends and money and getting all the new
Labour MPs voted out at the next election. I don't understand why he is
trying to make square pegs go into round holes. Most of the new Labour folk
have more in common with lib dems than a true socialist party.
The fear for many is that socialism leads to communism, but that is just
being silly. It should lead to decisions made for the community, not the
people who are making all the money. I remember Harold Wilson who tried to
stop rich people taking their money out of the country. that did not work
back then either.

However, I do feel that a state owned non profit organisation should run
things like public transport and key industries like electricity and gas
distribution.The main issue is to make them competitive without competition
and the profit motive. One needs a new morality of doing the right thing. a
social conscience, much lacking today.
