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 19th century and the
beginning of the 20th 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 19th 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.
