Tony Benn and Meine Kampf

His Lordship was on Radio 4 today tellling how he read Hitler's Meine Kampf as a 10 year old boy and how he had an argument with his brother and the book was split in two -he still has the copy.Now you don't have to be Sigg Freud to work out what is going on here.

Adolf was a Socialist -that was the name of his party.So Fascism is like the flip side of Socialsim -a sort of political schizophrenic dysfunctional dystopic State.Tony's book split in two symbolises the twin faced bifurcated mongrel philosophy of socialism/ fascism .

He goes on to say in the radio interview that bureaucracy is the curse of the working classes.Funny I thought socialism created bureaucracy not capitalism Tony.You see capitalism seeks to keep its costs down whereas Socialism thrives on bureaucracy -it is it's raison de'tre.Bureaucracy is the process by which money is turned into pure waste.Godd description of soialism wouldn't you say?

Anyway Mr Benn can be found at the Royal Geographical Institute givng a lecture on utopia and the welfare state. If you want a laugh pop along.Our Tony is full of humour -albeit of the unintentional kind.

You can find Adolf's book at all good bookstores. I found it at Waterstones.Perhaps the Austrians would like a word with Mr Waterstone -if he exists.One thing is certain.You won't find any books excoriating Muslims the way Hit did the jews.Wonder why......

Get your alchemist blog moving man.Where are all your bright ideas.Come on.How about telling us about this perpetual motion machine you are building?What is it?What does it do?I am scientifically ignorant so clue me in.

There is a p.p.machine in Ayn Rand's book Atlas Shrugged but it is a shadowy feauture in her novel.The characters end up in an Atlantis.Read it for it's great philospohical insights and its depiciton of a earthly utopia free from socialist do badders.



I have posted the above in your alchemist blog comment section.

It would help if you could link your new site as people are lazy and cannot be fussed to type it in(people -ie me!) Seeing as I cannot link I know that is a bit rich...
