He goes along to it and gives his support despite living in a several million pound house in North London with other property up and down the country. Don't get me wrong some of the stuff he has done as an MP has been brilliant but stuff like that irks me in the same way bono does telling us to make poverty history, it doesn't feel genuine and is actually quite counter-productive. I have a photo of this old anarchist I know, bloke in his fifties sticking a BASH THE RICH placard up behind Tony Benn who is eating his banana, it's quite sad, almost feel sorry for him.magma wrote:I'm being a bit thick, but I'm not sure what CW is apart from the Cold/Crimean War.

I know lots of good people and i know lots of bad people and i know lots of mediocre people - they all come from different backgrounds. It has nothing to do with class. You can be rich and be a twat and you can be poor and be a twat. You're still a twat.
He perpetuates the class system that he hopes to destroy. Oh, and he attended Westminster School. How proletariat of him.
Quoted for truth.magma wrote:Wow, what a bigotted dick he is. Because as we all know, the only people that are allowed to fight for social change are those that personally require it. Before Tony Benn should have been allowed to stand up for anything progressive, he should've relinquished all of the cash he had at an even higher rate than he'd have everyone else pay.Firkles wrote:Firkles wrote: I have a photo of this old anarchist I know, bloke in his fifties sticking a BASH THE RICH placard up behind Tony Benn who is eating his banana, it's quite sad, almost feel sorry for him.
I mean, the nerve of him trying to help people who had a worse start than him without first voluntarily making himself one of them!

No offense intended but TB is not the bastion of socialism, he's like all the rest of them - but he has that english gentry charisma, that 'respect' thing. He is no better than you, him, her or I. But people respect him because he smokes a pipe, gives hopes to the proles whilst actually doing very little. If this was France he'd be a nobody.Firkles wrote: *slow hand clap*
I thought you had more brains than that, magma.

READ HIS FUCKING BOOKS YOU STUPID tnuc.
He's not a Marxist.
He's not a Class Warrior.
And Marx and Engles were both from highly wealthy, educated backgrounds. It's not what class you're from, it's what class you fight for that's important.
and you'd be right. i despise capitalism just as much tbh.tr0tsky wrote:Right, you've got me there.
You pulled out the 1984 card. I'm trumped.
