I wonder what shavedmixer, PurpleMike (a.k.a. 'pops'😉, Moody Maudy
and the other lovers of Iran and their alikes think about this free and
progressist movement of their beloved anti-Israeli axis.
I don't think this is a good thing, but it's not the end of the world certainly. Let's see how Iran enforces this law.

By the way, just a minor point if you start labelling us Brits as Euros I think that plenty of Euros will be upset.

Keep the good fight going!!!
Gradually these idiots will realise their stupidity.
So many of these tin pot despots have been kept in power through the national interest of superpowers.

The list you make is an impressive one. I am not so sure about the fight against Stalin though, I never saw much evidence of socialist oppossition there? I remember vast sections of the socialist party loving Stalin.

Which socialist party are you talking about, and at what time? The criticism of Stalin started quite soon after his death within the USSR itself, as shown by Khurschev's speech.

You been on the wacky baccy Dan Ace? Changing the subject? I was replying to a point made in the previous post!!!

Blame Bush regardless!!!! Strange I dunno what made me think of Bush when discussing superpowers interferring. That was a strange illogical leap.

I don't mind posting about Iran its the fact that I am worried my views might be agreed with by certain rednecks who I would not like to be grouped with.

For the record i think:

Iran is a muslim country that suffers from having its religious clerics run the place. It has the typical things that i find revolting about many one party states and the muslim view of women. It is unstable due to the massive imbalance in its population age. Many are young as the older generation were killied by Saddam's armies (encouraged and supported by the US) Due to this and the botched US attempt at controlling Iran with the much hated Shah, it has paranoid anti US tendencies which the rest of the world are slowly catching up with. This hasn't been helped by the countries which it borders, recently being invaded for being part of the "axis of evil". Rumours of Israeli nuclear strikes and US invasion add to this state of worry. Almost certainly it is attempting to become a nuclear power. It faces massive change as the old leaders are struggling to stop the massive changes that are inevitable. Their media is very state controlled and as a result they are reminded daily as to the aggresive policies of Bush and of Israels persecution of the palestinians. Like many of these state controlled societies, the flow of truth will be part of their downfall. Thanks to the stupid policies of Bush, Iran has increasing gained the respect of Arabs and despite it not being an Arab Country, it's influence and support in the middle east has grown massively.

Happy now ace?

Yes but there was a reason Khrushchev's speech was called the"secret speech"

I was talking about socialists in Britain, even many labour MP's would avoid criticising mother Russia. To suggest they were leading campaigns against Stalin is a bit much.

The Labour party at least the mainstream of it and the leadership has never been closly linked with the Soviet government. You claimed vast sections of the socialist party loved Stalin, when the labour party hasn't for decades been a socialist party, and very few labour party members approved of Stalin, in the last 50 years anyway.

The left in the UK has, for decades, been divided between those who were generally supportive of the USSR and those who were critical.

This can be broken down into the Communist Party of Great Britain (CPGB) and assorted offshoots, and in the other corner, the multiplicity of Trotskyist groups WRP, SWP, People's Front of Judea etc etc. Overly simplistic, but a good approximation.

The Labour party can't really be considered within this equation - they're a different sort of organisation, with all sorts of different types of socialist within it. For example, some of the Militant MPs would be hostile to the USSR, whereas I'm sure some others were more sympathetic.

Thats why I used the past tense!!!!!!

The post I was replying to was about socialists fighting dictators, its a bit late fighting them when they are dead!!!!!! I don't understand how you can think I was talking about todays new labour.
