The peculiar mindsets of the left wing chardonnay socialists like Richard King is clearly on display in this recent post of his.

He obviously does not know his Orwell, because if he did, he would know that Orwell's claim to fame was that he too was once a bourgeous socialist who grew up and became their most trenchant critic.

Richard King implys that both slavery and colonialism were both evils invented by white people, and that all of us whites should hang our collective heads in shame at what we did. Yoo hoo, Richard. Every nationality in history engaged in slavery. It was specifically those foul colonialist British that you racially despise, that were the first people to advance enough socially to look upon slavery as a moral wrong, and the first to snd their armed forces to actively fight against it.

As for colonialism, every advanced civilisation that has ever existed has engaged in colonial expansion into backward and dysfunctional communities, usually to the long term benefit of the conquored. If they had not done this, then instead of 180 countires in the UN, there would now be thousands of squabbling and economically unviable states in the world. Civilisation advanced at he point of a sword.

As for racism, hey mate, everybody is racist, including the Jews, who historically are probably the most racially detested group in the world.

Multiculturalism is exactly like Socialism, it is another fuzzy idea dreamed up by academics which can not work and is already failing, because it does not take into account that human beings are intrinsicaly tribal and territorial. That is programmed by nature into our DNA. For multiculturalism and Socialism to work, all human beings have to do is stop being human.

As the author of the poem 'IF....' mentioned in these posts, I'd like to remind all that this was written / published in 1976 in response to what was happening around me as a 15 year old girl. It was publihsed in a progressive text on the 'invisible' people in the history curriculum at the time (eg the Indegenous peoples, women, the poor). RHS (which does not exist as an entitiy any longer) was very much a culturally diverse environment and one in which I thrived. Our teachers were progressive and instilled in us values of tolerance, acceptance, reason....values which I still uphold. The poem was for me at the time a big Question about the world in which I was growing up and an attempt to understand it.... However, like all that is written it is open to each individual's interpretation....ala Barthes

Peace to all

For multiculturalism and Socialism to work,
Lego,
right again. I think the term Multi when it comes to culture is akin to having one or more drinks. One's ok, two are ok, three are ok but the fourth & so on invariably end in a derailed situation.
Some people believe multiculturalism can work. I believe it's merely tolerable when travelling but once living together it all changes.
