Last weekend, John McDonnell told Andrew Marr that he thought there was a “lot to
learn” from Karl Marx’s Das Kapital. Jeremy Corbyn leapt to the Labour shadow chancellor’s defence, praising
Marx as a “great economist”.
Statements like these – and there are many more of them – are the reason why the
British people are going to strike a blow to the Labour party on June

When
Communists openly stand they are massively rejected by the electorate: one was
elected in 1924, one in 1935, two in 1945 and not a single one since. But now
that Marxist-Leninists have effectively taken over the leadership of the Labour
Party, the British people will have the sublime opportunity to show what they
think of an ideology estimated to have killed 100 million people in the 20th
century alone.
When
Fidel Castro died, Corbyn described him as a “huge figure in
our lives” and “a champion of social justice”. S. Telegraph.
