: Its the Labour party, its a part of the Socialist International, to which the Labour Party is affiliated.

If you havent realised Blair/Machavelli has usurped power in the Labour Party and is attempting to abolish it and the liberals and create a JFK style democratic party in its place.

:Nikil is a Comrade of Tony Blair.

Maybe but Blair would be no comrade of his, remember the Third Way International at which members of the DSA and French Socialists where not invited or barred as leftist fanatics?

: : The maoists etc. piss me off too, even the ardent commies like RD who think that replacing economics with boundless altruism is feasible annoy me at times,

: Why do people I'm talking about altruism? Where do I *ever* talk about altriusm?

Well you believe that some kind of a "from each according to their ability to each accoridng to want" arrangement can be made I think that would require altrusistic sharing becoming really popular and plus who defines want? A lot of alchos and druggies would have a whale of a time spongiong of everyone else right?

:Socialism is about the economics of self-interest.

Well I reckon it is but I consider from each according to ability to each according to work to be more realistic, John Rawls put this all better than me in his "theory of justice".
