Corbyn – the Great Leader

OH WHAT A DELICIOUS time we are going through politically. This seems to be the consensus of the journalist community in all quarters of the media. Why this should be the case is because of Jeremy Corbyn; the ageing man of (politically speaking) yesteryear who is now challenging successfully for the Labour Party leadership. His success has probably been as much of a surprise to him as it has been to the media collective. Corbyn does not want to become prime minister; he knows it and his supporters know it. If David Cameron approached him tomorrow and ordered him to run the country; he would probably drop to his knees and beg not to be considered: Jeremy Corbyn is no leader; for such a position means making unpopular decisions in the cause to which you hold dear to in your heart.

                

                Tony Benn; if he had been in Corbyn's position would have been fully prepared to sit in Downing Street, and would have relished the position Corbyn is in toady. But Corbyn, having sat on the back benches for 32 years has found it a very comfortable perch on which to relax; which he finds provides an agreeable life at the tax payers' expense. It is from this sitting position that from time to time he rises to his feet, not only to challenge the great class enemy; but also his own party whenever there has been a Labour government. Corbyn has always proven a damp squid; but a gentleman squid nevertheless if you listen to the media commentators who have met him in private.

               

               I do not know how many of you have read Dostoyevsky's The Idiot; but Corbyn fits the description perfectly of the naive and simplistic Prince Mushkin. Corbyn's ideas are puerile and adolescent and have been tried and tested ever since the Russian Revolution; and ever since, they have not only failed economically, but the outcome of such failure has been bought at the cost of millions upon millions of lives; thus disproving Corbyn's socialist thesis. Socialism has proven the final failure of, politically speaking, human vanity. Thinking they are capable of overcoming human nature, socialists have imposed the most rigorous tests on reforming our nature, resulting only in misery.

               

              Jeremy Corbyn is like a scarecrow whose mere presence is meant to keep the Tory crows from feeding of the seeds and crops of socialism. He has decorated the back benches, like an ancient monolith in complement with that of Dennis Skinner. Between them they have, at the irritation of their own party, proved between them the servants of Toryism. They would disagree, as would their supporters within the Labour membership as a well as those from without the membership who have, at a small price, helped Corbyn on his way.

JEREMY CORBYN is a captive of the age of steam and its labour relationships. He has spent his life despising the fat, top hated, cigar smoking capitalist, circa the later part of the 19^th century and the beginning of the 20^th century. Corbyn may believe he and his ideology is once more on the rise thus fulfilling his own belief in the Marxist dialectic, at whose philosophical maxim, he has poured his faith into. But it is a false dawn. Capitalism is here to stay because it accommodates human nature without which in the West technological advances could never have taken place.

                

                 Socialism is the governance and the chairmanship of all industry by the state; where there will be put in the place of competition, ambition, and financial reward, the five year plan organised by the socialist state under people like Corbyn. Does Corbyn tap out the keys on a computer? Does Corbyn use the internet? Does Corbyn use Twitter and Facebook? If the answer to all of these is yes; then he has to accept that they all came about by the capitalist method of production which rewards ambition and innovation with wealth; which socialism under the state can never compete with.

                

                The truth is that socialism in its many forms and historical fluctuations; but particularly in its Marxist form, can only procure human misery with little on the credit side. Western capitalism has never wrought the type of human misery; even in its 19^th century form which Marxism has managed to do since the Bolshevik revolution in Russia.

                

                Jeremy Corbyn, by winning his place as the leader of the Labour Party, is like a poor imbecile ascending the executioners block without any knowledge of his fate. Corbyn will be his own executioner if he wins. He cannot ever govern this country; he is a Marxist red in both tooth and claw. If there are those of his supporters who challenge my belief in this statement; then may he or she speak now, or forever hold their tongue. If Corbyn can invite the leaders of Hamas and Hezbollah to Westminster as his guests; then God help the Jewish community in this country if he was ever to govern this country – it will not happen.

               

                Corbyn will hang himself if he wins; not literally of course, but in terms of misplaced expectancy. The Labour Party will try to get rid of him before the next election. He will ill-perform at parliamentary Question Time; and the press, even the liberal variety will try to bring him down. Corbyn's one and only support from within the press will be the financially  impoverished Morning Star; that geriatric publication that still subsists for its sales upon the good will of its readership to write cheques - now the Soviet embassy has departed.

                

                For Cameron, if Corbyn is elected; it will be like shooting ducks, and will almost guarantee the Tory Party a third term. Corbyn will become the next leader of the Labour Party and will face such opposition from within his own party on the back benches, that there will be another challenge to his leadership within a year of him taking office. Corbyn is not a serious candidate and the Labour Party leadership understands this; but the membership, many of whom (especially among the activists) believe in his Marxist socialism, that has only managed to bring ruination from wherever it has been practised.

                

                 Corbyn can never produce an example of a successful socialist society; and will never be able to do so to support his own claim for the leadership of the Labour Party. Corbyn will never lead the Labour Party for more than a year if he wins this contest. He will not ever become prime minister; so why worry about his popularity?

                

                 Indeed, why so? Let him win; he will only weaken evermore the prospects of the Labour Party to govern the country…so good riddance.
