Socialism Cannot Be Reformed

The great Doctor Crippen thinks it can on his NHS blog. He might just as well try to put a plaster on a tumor. The Thatcherite atempts at reform were a mistake precisely for this reason. All it did was give capitalism a bad name. As that other great lady (Rand) once said: "The only compromise between food and poison is death".

But it is even more insidious because socialism gets a bail out. Had those reforms not been attempted NHS State Socialism would have been given its last rites long ago.

I am sure the busy man would never find his tortuous way to my lowly obscure blog, but if he did I would offer this advice: Take three Ayn Rands and see me in the morning.

If a class warrior, union dominated party had not come to power, the reforms might have led to something.
