Why do people get riled up about the rise of fascists but not communists these days?
Corbyn is not a communist. He is a social democrat albeit at the left wing end of the spectrum of social democracy - Tony Blair being at the right wing end.Do not be fooled into believing that this society cannot be made fairer because hard work isn't necessarily all it takes.

how do you distinguish between corbyn and a communist?
is it is passionate belief in democracy or his passionate support for armed struggle in Ireland?0 -

Not that again.
You can either believe he was sincere in that the believed he was helping the peace process or you believe otherwise.
There is little point in going over it yet again.

When there are reports of 'Trots' from the deputy leader JC kind of needs to admit to himself that communists are in the Labour party, and if he doesn't need to admit it to himself then I would assume he doesn't see it as an issue and possibly even aligns with their views.
So he's either a communist sympathiser, a communist himself, or his deputy leader is a liar.
Not a great set of truths to pick from

you can believe stalin was a nice decent man if you like or you can believe otherwise
however, there wasn't a peace process in 1970 but he supported the armed struggle as a way of forming a socialist ireland and was against an NI parliament
the fact you don't agree make it no less true.0 -

sorry old boy
but corbyn just happens to be in the news at the moment : perhaps you haven't noticed
and as it obvious, not everyone knows that he supported the men of violence and the philosophy of the Armalite and the ballot box.0 -

Where else would they be?I am not a financial adviser and neither do I play one on television. I might occasionally give bad advice but at least it's free.
Like all religions, the Faith of the Invisible Pink Unicorns is based upon both logic and faith. We have faith that they are pink; we logically know that they are invisible because we can't see them.0 -

As did Martin Mcguiness but that did not stop him from being elected and becoming deputy First Minister of Northern Ireland 40 years later.
It is rigid mindsets such as yours from both sides that 'helped' prolong the 'troubles' for decades.
As it happens I am very concerned about Corbyn's lack of leadership skills but not because he may have been misguided as a young man.Do not be fooled into believing that this society cannot be made fairer because hard work isn't necessarily all it takes.

no idea what you are saying
Martin ALWAYS supported the IRA and was quite open about it : he is totally unapologetic about the murders and killings and sees himself as an Irish patriot and freedom fighter.
Are you saying that Corbyn is exactly the same?
When would you give into terrorist : after the first killing or would you try to defeat it first?
What was your reaction to 7/7, surrender?0
