Darker Money

[french frank]

I didn't know there is a 'Hard Right' in the UK. And I'm flabbergasted to discover that Nigel's a member!

An ex-member, surely?

Oh dear. The antisemitic slur and The Holocaust thrown in too. The left really get their tits in a knot with this sort of stuff.

Whereas the right revel in it.

Whereas the right revel in it.

The idea that being concerned about antisemitism is "getting your tits in a knot" speaks volumes I think.

Oh dear, it just gets sillier .......

Much easier to defend the straw-man argument about antisemitism than it is to address the left's intellectual and psychological paralysis when it comes to issues like the behaviour of Soros, the EU, women's issues etc.

Quite, I'm not going to waste any more time on this argument.

The right loathes Soros for one simple reason:despite being a capitalist himself, he is a threat to capitalism - rather like one of those expert golfers who yet despise the game.

Capitalism is more likely to be brought down by a 'renegade capitalist' than by a communist/socialist revolutionary.

Similar, I suppose, to the Soviet-style Marxist-Leninists' mistrust of Trotsky and Mao.

I read an attack on Soros, warren Buffet, and Bezos in The Nation magazine (about as "hard left" a magazine as any over the last Century here) that they thrive on shutting down any competition within the industries that they favor, which distorts the true essence of Classic Capitalism, in which competition benefits all. It doesn't seem that different from the days of ROkefeller, Carnegie and DuPont, except that there is no teddy Roosevelt on the scene attempting to take them all on
