I'm sure Harman would have agreed with Noam Chomsky (another lefty twat) when he said about Pol Pots massacre of millions, that it was a "brave social experiment"

Ah, there's the "socialism has never been implimented in history" song again. If that's really the case Chris Harman and comrades deserve an F for failure.

Here's a response by Chris Harman that might interest you, Stan:

Looks like Comrade Bugsy has decided he needs some more attention. Happens almost like clockwork a few weeks after his previous "look at me, i'm a coomuno-pinko-socialisto tw@t" thread dies a death.

Subversive: adjective; seeking or intending to subvert an established system or institution.

The established system in this case being capitalism.

So then you turn up and give me the ostensible attention, eh, Stoaty? If you're not interested, just ignore me.

Or could it be that you seek the very attention you maintain that I need, and that's why you posted?

It's called "reverse intimation". If you say I'm selfish it's to intimate (as a reverse conclusion) that you're not selfish. Exactly the same, rather primitive, principle obtains with attention. It's a part of human nature. It's also notable that you're invariably the fella who opens up the subject of a need for attention. Have you ever noticed that?

I rest my case, M'lud.
