Spot the Marxist

Wow, where did all these Marxists suddenly come from!

I guess like me, people were wondering where the old industrial and political renegades had disappeared to. Like me, I've heard many people say "where did all the men go", when referring to what appears to be a lack of any political mobilization of the masses unless it's people like UAF and/or The Socialist Workers Party. But I think I may have cracked it.

I think the majority of normal peace abiding citizens who want politics to really change (back) to normality, are either sat watching the telly (which people like these Marxists fill with programs), or reading newspapers, (which people like these write), playing politics in the LibLabCon Party (which people like these are directing), or they're in UKIP or the British National Party where Marxism is detested.

Now here's a selection of Marxists, some known and some not so well known, who people might want to brush up on if thinking of going to a meeting or unsuspectingly inviting one to have a cup of tea.

I think it deserves some attention here, to advise you of a Marxist meeting being held in central London on 1-5th July 2010, so if you happen to get a ticket inviting you to nip along, but the ticket has some benign look of beneficial importance about it, then maybe you'll think twice before attending what could be a meeting with any number of politicians from speakers like Tony Benn talking about where it all went wrong in the 70's under his government, to UAF leader David Cameron talking about Saul Alinsky's "Big Society" and where it's all about to go wrong in 2010 if he wins the election. Who knows, even Obama could be there!

This was last years but I can't see Cameron in the pic, can you?

Now remember all, the purpose of this is to yak on for 4 days about how we Smash British democracy and the BNP.

No swearing will be tolerated unless it's on the mike.

Champagne will be served with a light snack from the buffet followed by as many drinks as you like until you're half pissed, care of the National Lottery, the British Taxpayers and David Cameron.

Later, we'll be holding claw hammer throwing classes as well as a darts tournament for the kids, and then it's all off to the nearest local BNP campaign to cause as much trouble as possible.

Last one there's a sissy, and first one to get arrested wins a big bottle of socialist champagne from Gordon who's promised to be there on our return if he's still in government.

There may also be a few unannounced guests appearing throughout the Week to Plan how to Wreck Britain, and it's possible we could see Harriet Harman, Ed and David Miliband, Ed Balls or any number of our other friends in the NuCon Party who David Cameron might bring along with him with his cheque.

See you all there and don't be square but if you msis it, you can always catch us on the BBC on any of our other programs!
That is of course unless the BNP are elected.

This is Marxist Saul Alinsky's plan for a "Big Society" which Cameron wants.
It's part of what you call 'Communitarianism', which you might like to research before you really end up living in a Communist State as described by Karl Marx and/or David Cameron / Gordon Brown / Nick Clegg.
