Should The Labour Party Celebrate The Centenary Of The Revolution?
Andrew Rosindell has tabled an extremely sound Early Day Motion countering the hard-left’s celebration of the Russian revolution centenary. The motion will remind the House – and the Labour front bench in particular – of the murderous consequences of that fateful ‘revolution’ which ushered in decades of oppression and misery for millions. It reads:
“That this House notes, with great regret, that 7 November 2017 marks 100 years since Russia’s Bolshevik Revolution which subsequently demonstrated, time and again, that Communism is a murderous political ideology, incompatible with liberty, self-government and the dignity of human beings, and injurious to the national, ethnic and religious traditions of the world’s peoples; further notes that Communism subjected millions to theft, surveillance, terror and ultimate destruction; acknowledges that the cultural, political and economic legacy of Soviet Communism still negatively affects vast numbers of people today; and accordingly believes that the crimes of Communism, together with those of its mirror image, National Socialism, must forever serve as a warning to humanity of the terrible consequences of totalitarianism in all its forms.”

The Russians it seems dont want to be reminded of him.
Actually, I wouldn't mind owning one, not because of whom it is, but because some of them are bloody good stone carvings, and during the early Stalin years, making them was the only way a good sculptor could earn a crust, there being no private art sector under Communism - in fact, no private anything!

Naomi, I wish I could explain, socialist/communists seem to ignore all the failures and all the studies that demonstrate time and again that it cannot work. The problem is that the leaders don't actually endure it anyway, in the USSR for example the establishment lived like the west whilst they imposed their ideology on the poor *** queuing up for a loaf. It seems inherent in the left wing thinking that success must be stopped and punished unless it's their own. The Rich must be stripped of wealth to give to the poor but they never seem to comprehend that wealth creation is stifled by this. Corbyn and co would impose socialism on us in an instant if they could.
