Not saying i'm paranoid, but when the site went down, i was waiting for a knock at the door from Maggot n the rest of the moral high ground acrobats waving pickaxe handles..

Funny that, I was getting out my baseball bat to defend Maggot Towers from a torch wielding mob of ex-miners and kaftan wearing social-workers, I had already instructed Maggot Junior to go for the toes as they were bound to be sporting sandals[;)]

i know exactly what you mean about social workers. They might have been involved in the initial skirmishes, but they had to roll one of those thin cigarettes and it took about an hour.

You can never rely on the middle class.

It is acceptable to kill an individual, but unacceptable to dance on their grave?

Wherein the morality?

Course it's acceptable to kill somebody like Stalin. It would be unacceptable, even perverse, to seriously derive pleasure from it but you could be glad that it had been done. Taking life may in some cases be desirable but it's a big step that can't be taken lightly. That's probably why it's so dodgy to say that one would rejoice at a "normal" politician's death.

Ankev has amplified my point perfectly.

redcogs · June 2007

When i attend the celebration party following Thatcher's shuffling, i'll try and remember that its ok to be glad, but inappropriate to derive any pleasure.

Unless you are that way inclined and get pleasure from others dying of course. Part way to being psychotic I suppose but no harm done.

redcogs · June 2007

Look Joe Sacco, if spire n ankev suggest that its ok to be glad when Thatch croaks as long as i don't derive any pleasure from it that's ok with me. When i go partying i might wear a fancy dress mask (perhaps the head of Bliar) to conceal any whiff of mirth.

spire and ankev are both well respected contributers here, with a long history of sensible ideological postings. Their reasoning should be good enough for anyone.

Point taken. I had forgotten how wise spire and ankev are (easily done)

This is starting to border on consensus.

At serious left-wing parties, there is never any unneccesary mirth, the comrades get all the enjoyment they need from discussing the downfall of the capitalist state.

i once went to a serious left wing party and got the leg across.

The following morning, i realised what an asset a good sense of humour can be.

My current ex-girlfriend (= we still very occasionally get together if I'm having a weak moment) is a dyed in the wool, single party state, old fashioned Marxist who thinks Castro is the definition of sweetness and light.

So I am in a position to confirm that it is indeed possible that Redders got his leg over (syntax again Redders) at a left wing party.

I hope that you and the female (I assume) comrade had satisfactory congress and spent any spare time discussing the role of the educated working class in the setting of tractor quotas during the next five year plan.

Ank's "girlfriend" is in fact a volunteer for a very dirty (her words) mission to attempt to "turn" one of the ruling classes C+ lackeys!

Apparently he doesn't suspect a thing![:D]

Indeed Redders, but I don't get clubbed to death in my sleep with a blunt copy of Das Kapital because I think she puts my enlightened philosophies down to "ze Britisch zens of humour".

papercorn2000 · June 2007

Not yet anyway!

You are on the list to be spirited away for re-education!
