Corbyn's Labour Threatens Democracy

If John McDonnell's economic proposals which will bankrupt the country very quickly and turn us into the European version of Venezuela were not enough, there are large elements both in Corbyn's inner circle and even in the Parliamentary Labour Party who are prepared to forgo democratic measures and take a much more "Bolshevik" approach.

First the BBC reported that "former" member of the Communist Party Andrew Murray told a meeting:

The former head of the Stop the War coalition has promised mass protests if the "deep state" tries to thwart Jeremy Corbyn's foreign policy agenda.

Andrew Murray has previously warned that unelected forces are out to undermine him and the Labour leader.

As a Communist and supporter of the former Soviet Union he should know about the socialist way of suppressing opponents in great detail. Difference is that Britain is a democracy, something he and his mates oppose.

Worse still Laura Smith MP for Crewe and Nantwich told a Momentum rally that:

“Comrades, we must topple this cruel and callous Tory government as soon as we can. And if we can’t get a general election,” she told the crowd, “we should organise with our brothers and sisters in the trade unions to bring an end to this government with a general strike.”

For this she gained a standing ovation which frankly exposes the far-left for what they are. Those that stood included other Corbynite loyalists:

Shadow justice secretary Richard Burgon, shadow work and pensions secretary Margaret Greenwood and the MPs Lloyd Russell-Moyle, Dan Carden, Chris Williamson, Cat Smith and Emma Dent Coad.

All this talk of "deselection", as being democratic is just smoke and mirrors for a purge of all those who oppose their Marxist agenda. Motivated by one thing, the ideological drive for power the comrades, most of whom are new to the Labour Party and come from the failed far left groups of the past or are just blinkered in their outlooks are actually totally contemptuous of democracy.

Andrew Murray, who "resigned" his membership of the CPB has been schooled in the tradition of Lenin's so-called "Red October", a "revolution" that in reality was a coup that overthrew the first democratically elected Government.

Just like Hitler later on, Lenin had no time for the democratic process. The fact the Bolsheviks (like the Nazi's) never achieved a parliamentary majority shows the methods of both the far-left and the far-right are in practice the same. Both did it in the name of an amorphous mass either "the workers" or the people". 

The individual is always subservient to the cause.

That's what motivates both Corbyn and McDonnell. Their supporters are the new Militant with a momentum to the unsustainable communist nightmare.

They must be stopped. It is time for a new party.
