Subject: M-G: T. Blair and  his apologists


dear friends,

True,maybe Mr. Godena's  attack on  the British Labor
Party PM Blair  lacked any in depth marxist class/social  analysis. 
But  he is correct to nail the political bankruptcy of all the left swamper
"tailists" and 'entryists" and other careerist wannabees 
who suck up the British LP and paint it up as some sort
of socialist party. 

The LP historically and today , whether it is carrying out 
the rest of Thatcherite austeriy against the workers,  sending out
British troops to smash up UK labor class struggles (14 times just 
since 1946) and reinforcing the capitalist class rule
and plunder of workers,  enlisting (and dragooning)
workers to go to war for british capitalism in WW1 and WW2 
Korea,  India, Palestine , etc  or backing
other imperialists a la Democratic/Repuplican  USA  led
war sorties to garner a grerater share  world oil profits
and markets/supplies, the LP shows itself an adroit defender
of capital (using 'progressivist' rhetoric) and those 
fake marxists who sow illusions in it are just the "left wing'
of the capitaist bosses  political armoury..

If that be the point Mr. Godena wanted to make , the 
overwhelming evidence  really can prove his point .

Neil
