I'm not a fan of anything remotely linked to socialism, which I believe to be an evil and empty philosophy which has caused nothing but death , suffering and dissapointed believers.
You're by no means the first person to make the understandable mistake that this means I support or condone the other lot.

In fact, as George Galloway puts it, they're two cheeks of the same arse, and they both lie constantly and routinely. They like each other much more than they like their own supporters because they are pigs together in the same trough.

I've met them and dealt with them and I can assure you that they're ALL laughing at those who listen to the divisive tribal crap they cling to.

You're right that I don't like anti semitism or any other kind of real mistreatment of people because of their race, but I do think that some of the nonsense people come up with and call it that is plain bloody silly. I've got complex theories on the subject of 'isms' in fact, and I'll share them with you some time. Not right now because I'm absolutely knackered from painting fence panels and I'm shortly going to eat some home grown baked potatoes and listen to infowars. ( I'm not really going to listen to infowars - just pulling your leg).

Your whole post is intelligent and well put together though , and deserves a better reply than this, but I thought I'd better do a holding reply because I appreciate your well thought out points , whether I happen to agree with all of them, and I certainly didn't want to just ignore them till tomorrow !

Your posting is a cut above the generally disappointing garbage here, and I thank you for restoring my faith ,( or lingering hope anyway) , that anyone under about 50 can still think for themselves, and I'll add to this tomorrow , God willing.
