The most privileged political current in the UK (their old magazine "Living Marxism" used to be known as "Living Comfortably" by mocking opponents) complain that the Green movement is "upper middle class" and "bourgeois". LOL. It takes one to know one, I suppose! Yes, it´s the ex-version of the old Revolutionary Communist Party.
Their "populist" turn isn´t very convincing (I admit their "libertarian" turn was), and now it seems Spiked have come out in support of Ukraine, which I suppose might anger their Trumpista-populista allies.
But who cares?
Note also that the leading lights of Spiked seem to be *exactly the same people* as back in the 1980´s and 1990´s, when this tendency still claimed to be Trotskyist. But sure, that´s not necessarily a cult. I believe the term is "clique"...
De hävdade en gång att sexuella övergrepp mot barn var EXTREMT ovanligt, och nästan inte existerade. För att parafrasera Mao - att bli angripen av Spiked är definitivt en bra sak.
ReplyDeleteDe stödde serberna under kriget i Bosnien och förnekade folkmordet. En väldigt obehaglig strömning på många sätt.
ReplyDeleteLibertinismen verkar vara det enda de aldrig har omprövat...
