@rupertbrooks0 - Im sure he has, and I encourage you to actually read some of his writing, he spent his life advocating democracy. True democracy, not the shade that we all settle for today

What incredible nonsense. Has this man never read Karl Popper, or Isaiah Berlin? Does he not believe in plualism? or democracy? Seeing the world as a struggle between capitalism and socialism is like Islamist seeing the world as believers and infidels. There is no such thing as 'capitalism' it's an abstract concept, just like "the economy". The cold war wasn't a struggle between capitalism and communism but between democracy, open society and the rule of law against totalitarianism.

Capitalism and socialism are once again embedded in the common discourse and this is a great step forward for those of us who struggle for real justice in this world.

activity, activity, activity, for we are the bearers of the truth to lead you all out of the abyss! remember the Friends of Salman Rushdie etc, you have absolutely no idea at all! this crisis was planned, do you not think they could have saved Lehman Bros if they really wanted? the credit crunch is about even more centralisation of capital, in their mission for world government, how very convenient Mandelson has returned from Europe to help guide his masters bidding!
