Some of the contributors and posters at Lenin’s Tomb disgust me beyond words. For example, in the past, I have read posts where they’ve expressed a desire for “anti-imperialist” insurgents to kill British soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan. A particularly vicious and unsavoury harpy, going by the moniker “Jill in Laos”, told me that she was “proud” to make common cause with terrorists like Al-Qaeda in their fight against the West. If you google this particular acolyte of Seymour (“Jill in Laos”) you will find the Vientiane vixen only last month saying the following on http://www.truthout.org:

“Only the destruction of the puppet Maliki government and the intensification of the resistance struggle against America can revivify the Iraqi peoples. Unfortunately, as Jamil correctly points out, the collaborators ‘made their beds’ with imperialism, and now they must sleep in them.The sleep of the mortuary.”

Such a charming lady.

To Fisk justice he’s got an article in the Independent today where he portrays DinnerJacket as a creepy fascist dictator.

Well, yes. Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

If all you care about is “the rule of the proletariat” you don’t care what happens to get to it. And one way of doing it is to try to destabilise the “capitalist state” via encouraging protests about human rights (which are often exagggerated claims).

Of course if any of these types ever get into power they start removing rights from anyone they don’t like – as has been proved many times – see Chavez now eg.

Im just aghast that people who are SO ideological can have so few principles. I thought that the was the one good thing about staying in fringe politics, never having to compromise yourself for a mainstream party or country etc.

At least our dodgey politicians lie to get re-elected, these guys appear to lie for the sake of it.

In the case of MPAC, Gitmo is either an abuse against humanity or its not. If it is, then how can you say nothing about human rights in Iran at a time like this? Then means you dont care about Gitmo really. Or even worse, you ONLY care about abuses against muslims.

Its all rather confused me to be honest and I need Peter Tatchell to resore my faith in human rights activists. Good man, slings the mud at all possible targets, even if sometimes he misses.

Yeah, there’s a guy down our road who had his head smashed in with rocks too. When he starts jabbering on about something, I find it’s best to smile politely, keep walking and not make any sudden movements.
