BEAMING WITH childish enthusiasm for the support he
received from the public over his joust with the Daily Mail, Red Ed believes that the support he was shown for the
defence of his Marxist father can be interpreted as support for his father's
Marxism. So, along with his promised freeze on utility increases, he now dons (quixotic-like)
his armour, to take on the water companies; and when asked whether he would
intervene in other markets his response sounded keen, eager and passionate; as
if in fact he believed himself to be the people's zeitgeist - he mistakes
sympathy for support[1].
But
now Red Ed is prepared to go even further to see his socialist dream realised.
Asked whether he was prepared to take action in other markets, his response was
enthusiastic. He told BBC Radio Five live, "Part of it [tackling the cost of living crisis]
it is about dealing with this issue of overcharging and rip-offs. Banking is
another example where we’ve said we want to see more competition."
He
no doubt believes that every move he takes in his political life is in recognition
of his father and his beliefs. The Daily
Mail is not far off the point when it seeks to warn the British public of
the Miliband legacy. The vast majority of people do not want to see the shroud
of socialism lowered over this country - not even the Labour Party leaders of
the 1960s and 1970s ever wanted this[2];
for they witnessed its impact during the years of union and student militancy
that almost brought this country to its knees during the 1970s.
That
was an age of, in industrial terms, medievalism. The unions were briefly in
control of the nation, and they held it to ransom; and would have continued to
their desired end, if it were not for the election of Margaret Thatcher - that
most hated of politicians by the Left, including those within her own party
which succeeded in destroying her.
EDWARD MILIBAND is his father's
disciple. He believes in the socialist dystopia as did his father. He was no
doubt closer to him than his brother who enjoyed an air of scepticism about the
whole Marxist enterprise. Having no doubt learned of its cruelty and brutality
free from his father's influence at Oxford.
Ed
Miliband, from his response to Levy's piece in the Daily Mail, appears far
closer to his father's views than his brother, despite sharing the same
education as his brother. David, from what I have read was never a believer in
Marxism and tried to turn the Labour Party away from socialism and drive it
into the arms of social democracy; a much watered down version of socialism. So
watered down that even European
Conservatives would feel at home within its compass; a compass which David Cameron
takes directions from.
A LABOUR GOVERNMENT led by Ed Miliband would seek to orchestrate
capitalism; allowing only those practices that met with his approval on strict
socialist principles; as he is suggesting today in his interview with Radio Five Live - I hope this interview was partly due to the
intoxication of a victory won over the Daily
Mail; but I fear not.
Capitalism
can be at times unfair, as I openly admit. But it is the greatest force for
human progress that has ever been proffered up. A socialist system, on the other
hand, has introduced nothing but stagnation, brutality and death to the tune of
countless of millions of lives throughout the Marxist world.
Ed
Miliband must realise that socialism runs contrarily to human nature. If he
wins the next election he will seek to impose restrictions on the capitalist
system. By doing so, he will only confirm the Daily Mail's view of his father instead of those of the British
public, prepared to give him the benefit of the doubt.
[1] What I found curious
throughout Ed Miliband's exchanges with the Daily
Mail over his father, is that nothing was heard from his brother across the
pond. Not a whisper from David Miliband - he, apparently was not as outraged as
Ed was about the treatment of their father by the Daily Mail; for in this social media world, David could not remain
ignorant of what was unfolding in London.

the time the Cold War was in progress, and served as a warning.
