Left voices, unfiltered, unedited, Ungagged.
By Indybag Fascists are in Government in Germany. Allow that to sink in. Fascists are rallying in the UK- their conferences are attracting big business. Fascists are sporadically rampaging through our city streets. The left need to help fight back. Socialism is LESS likely- and will be a very dangerous outlook to have – in […]
By John Davies Ratko Mladic died yesterday, the butcher of Srebrenica and too many other places to mention. I’ve looked on Facebook and not seen a single comment. I don’t know why this is, but I felt I couldn’t let it pass. Bosnia, of which I had previously barely heard, played a big part in […]
The quote attributed to Mark Twain ‘History does not repeat itself but it often rhymes’ allows us to see the parallels between the 60’s and 70s and today but accept and analyse the differences.
