The inconvenience of reality

As the people of Venezuela demonstrated against the socialist regime that has mismanaged their economy so badly inflation has hit one million percent, food and medicine is in short supply and opposition media has been closed down under this elective dictatorship the left have been rushing to Maduro's defence claiming it's a "US plot".

Everything's a "US/ NATO/Zionist imperialist plot to the left who use it as a blanket response to every international event that goes against their wishes.  Old Compo himself was apparently en consed in meeting with ambassadors from South America which included the one from Venezuela. Corbyn of course is a big fan of the socialist disaster area founded by the Chavistas:



Meanwhile inside the Labour Party itself a new body has been set up that calls itself Labour Against Racism and Fascism. Fascinating I thought Labour would have been against both these things as a matter of course but this group isn't quite what it seems as they write:

We can ensure that under a future Labour government led by Jeremy Corbyn, our national curriculum tackles historical and systemic racism. Through decolonising the national curriculum, and by teaching the history of the British Empire from the viewpoint of all the subjects of British colonialism and imperialism....

In other words rewrite history as others are already trying to do in universities. Oh and making biology and science less "white" apparently. Even philosophy is under attack. Those damned Greeks that fought for the future at Thermopylae and came up with the basic ideas of democracy albeit with a slave based economy.

Then of course there's slavery itself. Listening to the new wave of activists you would be forgiven to not be aware that Britain and the Royal Navy were at the forefront of ending modern slavery. Yes this country took part in the Atlantic slave trade as did other countries. Slavery has existed throughout human history and still takes place to this day with the Arab world at the centre. Yet this is ignored.

Another inconvenient truth for the modern activists whose blinkered ideas are preconceived  before they even learn anything because free speech is no longer possible on campus no matter what the subject. If the speaker is even perceived to have an opinion or theory that might offend then the banning begins.

And thus fascism was born out of the mouths and brain-dead activist crowd.

The books are about to be burnt you have been forewarned.
