There is light at the end of the tunnel, but the light may be another train coming towards us". Wednesday, 24 August 2011. 8220;If our expressions are to be heard then they must be silent”.

A collision is a very likely scenario in light of the current global constellations developing in the sphere of the International Relations of the 21. Century, but it is the 21. Feature: a...

in the hands of the many: Warning of #Pasokification, not yearning for it

http://hands-of-the-many.blogspot.com/2015/03/warning-of-pasokification-not-yearning.html

In the hands of the many. 8216; progress is not the elimination of struggle, but rather a change in its terms. 8217; - Aneurin Bevan. Warning of #Pasokification, not yearning for it. People stop me in the street and they ask me how I wrote Pasokification. Actually, they don't. Most people have no idea what I’m banging on about, and those that do usually tell me to shut up about it. Obviously, I refuse. And, because it mentions me, I thought I’d respond. Am I yearning for the Pasokification of Labour?

Mind Trumpet: Hugo Chavez - champion of the people

http://mindtrumpet.blogspot.com/2011/01/hugo-chavez-champion-of-people.html

God is dead, Freud is dead, Marx is dead and I'm not feeling too well myself. Saturday, 15 January 2011. Hugo Chavez - champion of the people. Here he is with another principled leftist, Alexander Lukashenko, the President of the socialist utopia that is Belarus:. Truly, you can judge a man by the company he keeps. Oh, speaking of judges, Mr Chavez - as part of his continual onslaught of the concept of the rule of law - has imprisoned one. Hugo Chavez. He's a champion of the people! HT to Carl Packman.
