Not all Tyrants and Dictators live in hot countries, wear
sunglasses and are addressed as Commandant!!
In Peru in the 70s after a military coup land, properties,
businesses and fishing boats were confiscated without compensation, this was
the rise of General Juan Velasco, the 58th President of Peru, Velasco threw
Peru into a state of poverty and squalor from within!! Peru took agout 30 years
to recover.
Velasco's regime was watched by a young Venezuelan solider
by the name of Hugo Chávez who went on to become the President of Venezuela and
regarded Juan Velasco as his inspiration.
We now have the leader of the current opposition party
(Labour) in the UK who sees Hugo Chávez as his inspiration!!
We (some) jokingly jest when discussing Corbyn…we mention Marxism,
quote him and insert the word “Comrade” but actually Corbyn's ideologies are
closer to the Chavista autocrats than to European socialists. This Corybn led
Labour is not the same Labour beast of old, not the same as it was under
Blair! Corybn has already been cleaning
up his force and surrounding himself with likeminded lieutenants. The Mathematical genius (laugh) Diane Abbott and John McDonnell to name but two.
Castro, Velasco, Chávez, Morales, he has only ever sided
with them and never argued against their contempt for democracy. Latin America
looms large in Corbyn's ideals having spent his formative years there, his 2nd
ex-wife was from Chile, his current wife is Mexican…he has much interest in the
people and the politics of Latin America.
He would attempt to press failed socialist schemes here if he was given
the chance! Socialism always fails yet
it is attempted again and again with the crazy persistence that there will be a
better outcome….there never is!!!
We, in the UK take democratic stability for granted; just as
we don’t expect assets we have worked hard to gain to be taken away from us.
We, for many years feel we are protected by the rule of law.
We have had no experience of living under the dark could of true tyranny....oh
yes, we use the Tory monster often, citing Thatcher...we complain about times under
conservatism like a child how bangs his toe and acts as if he broke his back!!
it’s understandable
in a way as we are spoilt, we don’t really know what it’s like living under a
repressive regime so we elevate our first world problems to a state of
suffering ....but really, can we claim to know true suffering? Really? Truly?
We have never felt
forced to scale a 10 feet tall wall in the middle of the night under risk of
being shot, neither have we considered building a raft to drift 100 miles
across shark infested unpredictable straits or had to become an exile from the
place we call home. We never ran up Princess Street in Edinburgh or around
George Square in Glasgow through the mist of tear gas and a rain of batons....we
think such things are very far from happening in the UK, we are accustomed to
safety and stability on this small island.......but in one of our recent
elections almost 2 in 5 people voted for someone who praised Venezuela as a
socialist Utopia from with the UK could model itself upon!!
Corbyn and his Labour party are currently, as I write this,
17 points in the polls behind the Conservatives for the General Election which
will be held in December to form a Government to lead this country (UK) That
may seem like a massive lead the Conservatives have over him but not massive
enough to still fears, how many times has polls been wrong? The Tory monster
myth still echoes up and down this island and deals are often made with other
lesser parties.
Corybn has never tried to hide his enthusiasm for Chavez and
his likes, only this week he posted on twitter a consolatory message to Bolivia's
Evo Morales!! also a congratulatory message to Brazil's Lula after he was
released from prison. His party is constantly being investigated for Anti-Semitism,
he has admitted he regrets the outcome of the Cold war!!!
Corybn is open about how he wants to nationalise industries
and regulate prices and incomes, also how he wants to get rid of billionaires
in the UK, just this week he has pledged to provide free Broadband for everyone
if her gets in power!!!.....he is laying out plans which we have seen done by
autocratic dictators in South America yet this is all being considered in the
normal bounds of British Politics!!!! how is this possible? IF Corbyn was a
movie character in a Latin American country, wearing sunglasses, smoking a
cigar and his speeches given Spanish subtitles we would think nothing of Amazon
Prime sending Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan to expose him!!!!
In Britain we have always said that we do not do extreme politics
……but mark my words, we have never stood as close to the edge of the abyss as
we are just now!!! We need to understand
this, the dangers of a Corbyn led Labour. If he comes in power we will soon
learn the hard way!!
