It was only when people got in their way that the Bolsheviks revealed this tendency in themselves, though careful readers of Lenin might have guessed it. The Rada acted under Article 110, not 111. These also became organs of the state, organising holidays and distributing benefits, a downward rather than an upward transmission belt for power. None of this comes within ten thousand miles of establishing his conclusion. PH responds :*** It was almost as if the Twitter Left had been inoculated against this very argument, as about 95% of the abuse I received was based on the mistaken belief that this is what I had said. Indeed, it lacked but four votes in Parliament to command a majority.

It is strongly in favour of family autonomy, marriage etc, but also quite strongly pro-trade union and requiring tolerable wages and improved working conditions - and has been since the encyclical Rerum Novarum was issued by Pope Leo XIII in 1891. The issue here is that German middle-class conservatives, fooled as many were then and some are now into believing that the Nazis were just a noisy, violent type of conservative, were shocked when *in practice* they found this was not true.

I myself condemn the oppressions and injustices practised by Israel, which are manifold, but I am equally severe on the oppression practised by Arab and other Muslim states, and indeed by any state. Doctrinal disputes *within* movements, as I have mentioned before, are often the most severe. Yet it turns out that his allegedly dim and uncultured parents (his father was a successful builder) used much of their wealth to give him an expensive private education - not to mention lessons in the piano and art, and his own account to let him buy what he liked at Melbournes leading bookshop. Yet another survey, this time from St Georges Hospital in South-West London, undermines the view that facemasks prevent the spread of Covid.

Thanks to that, I know that the USA is a foreign country whose interests are sharply different from ours. Nothing remotely resembling this procedure, which, as you know, overturned the democratic election of Yanukovych in an unchallenged poll, and therefore had to be heavily armoured against abuse, as in all democratic constitutions. No amount of quiet campaigning by officers of his generation ever fixed that.

The key thing both have in common is that they believed that murdering their opponents was the best way of dealing with them, the invariable sign of the self-admiring Utopian who thinks his opponents are bad as well as wrong.
