SEPARATED AT BIRTH

Interesting line from Greg Sheridan:

Just as it is incredible that a young British-born man, of whatever origin, could become a suicide bomber on the London Underground, so it is incredible to think that in the 1930s some of Britain’s elite, best educated and most privileged students and academics could sign up to communism and the service of the Soviet Union.

Marxism-Leninism was always a completely insane ideology, with its historical determinism and dreary and dogmatic materialism. Its monstrous amorality - anything was justified in the name of the revolution - is at least as perverted as anything al-Qa’ida has come up with. And in Stalin, Mao and Pol Pot it produced three of the greatest mass murderers of the 20th century (their only rival is Hitler).

Hmmm. Might explain why tragi-commies like George Galloway still empathise with the Citizens for Jihad, even after they’ve turned against him.

  1. And since the academics at our universities are still promoting it, does this mean in the future they will be promoting Islamofacism.

  3. What does Galloway care if they hate him as long as their checks clear?

  4. So… we can assume you mean George Galloway and Robert Fisk are twins?

  5. RebeccaH — Yep, they were born joined at the ass so they could share a brain.

  6. Thank you, Richard.  That explains the masochism, at least.

  7. There is an interesting line from Phillip Adams in the Weekend Australian magazine, a characteristically self-indulgent account of his ASIO dossier. Seriously, you could not make this stuff up! He illustrates the point that Sheridan is making about the way that totalitarian regimes manage to recruit some of the (apparently) brightest sparks, to undermine the very system that provides them with a range of freedoms that their new masters would eliminate, if they could.

  8. it just goes to show that just because your intelligent doesn’t mean your smart.

    so of history’s most psychotic blood thirsty cold blooded killers were well educated…...but they were complete fruit loops…...hitler, pol pot, mao, left tilting academics.

    a little bit of knowledge can be dangerous.
