I have never mentioned evil why compare yourself to the worst Who says socialiam doesn't stand a chance - not me ? Something positive has to replace what we have - why not a fair distribution of the world's benefits and rights - is that really too much to ask ? I don't speak for other people - I have no idea what they would or would not stand for and it would be arrogant of me to claim otherwise All you can do is argue your case Despite claims to the contrary, socialism has never really been tried - aimed for, yes, but never achieved For all the faults of those who tried it, it achieved comparative miracles over comparatively short periods - backward peasant nations into world contenders, in some cases The willing sacrifices of the people of the Soviet Union show fairly clearly that those who lived there were, up to a point, prepared to bite the bullet to make their lives better "Milliband" It really is time we moved from speculating on personalities - most of these leaders have proved to have clay feet It's long-term objectives rat have to count if the world is to survive now Jim
