The Green Party/ Natalie Bennet

What a fucking lunatic mob this is, led by someone who cant seemingly get to grips with reality. I've just seen her give another car crash interview on the Sunday Politics show, in which she stumbled around great manifesto pledges like dismantling the City and bringing new rules in on the housing market which would cause it to crash immediately. Other great ideas include scrapping the military altogether, having a target of 0% economic growth, extending human rights laws to animals and decriminalising membership of terrorist organisations.
And this is the fastest growing party in the country, apparently. Who the fuck is supporting this mental shit?

Orwell managed to deconstruct communism in a 140 page fairy story good enough on a basic level to become a children's favourite.
'Atlas Shrugged' is unreadable and about 1000 pages too long. The shagging scenes are quite funny, though.

Re: The Green Party/ Natalie Bennet
I'm not at all confused. Libertarian. Funnily enough I've been handed more copies of libertarian crap than socialist worker in the past ten-15 years.
As you're a prime example of here - most are unable to see the consequences of the views in real terms rather than a belief in the purity in ideology.
For example, shrinking government to the size most would like to see would see publicly provided services decimated to a point where they are to all practical purposes, worthless.
As I said, most are unable to draw a correlation between the size of the government and the public services they receive the benefit from both directly or indirectly.
I didn't suggest you wanted "anarchy" - I said most are unable to make the correlations beyond their own direct experience.

Actually, the ideas flowing from the premise of anarchy have helped to frame all the healthy relations between individual citizens and the institutional order in modern open society - namely that those responsible for running said institutions inform citizens and their powers are overstepped when they try to norm those citizens.

Anarchy is a old Greek word meaning "without government" or perhaps a higher authority than our own personal rationality.
I rather like this link
http://dwardmac.pitzer.edu/Anarchist_Archives/malatesta/anarchy.html
"And even if there existed men of infinite goodness and knowledge, even if we assume what has never happened in history and what we believe could never happen, namely, that the government might devolve upon the ablest and best, would the possession of government power add anything to their beneficent influence? Would it not rather paralyse or destroy it? For those who govern find it necessary to occupy themselves with things which they do not understand, and, above all, to waste the greater part of their energy in keeping themselves in power, striving to satisfy their friends, holding the discontented in check, and mastering the rebellious."

Always had a thing for Ayn Rand in her black and white interview days,
Bit like my thing for Judge Judy.
Plus Atlas Shrugged and the Fountainhead are great.

Fivetide,
So a huge fan of Atlas Shrugged could not name its famous author?
I'm sorry but you made that up.

I think you are confusing libertarianism with anarchism.
It's a common mistake to make - amongst those who don't bother to educate themselves.
Libertarians believe in small government. They set a threshold for government intervention or regulation that requires a very high burden of proof that the measure is absolutely necessary for the continuation of civilised society.
That would eliminate much of the legislation we have on the statute books today. Libertarians would see that as a good thing because they don't trust governments to act wisely (or indeed honestly).
However much of the basic machinery of state that exists today would survive, including some form of public health service, a welfare state of sorts and almost certainly free education.
It is absolutely not true that libertarians want to dismantle the state altogether and if you believe that you are getting your information from the wrong sources.
I would advise you not to believe every Socialist Worker pamphlet pushed through your door.
Libertarians are almost always clever, thoughtful and well read. In fact you probably have to be all of those things even to have got to the point of understanding what it is. Their world view is reasonable and justifiable, even if you disagree with it.
Anarchists, on the other hand, are people without any brains at all. Someone mentioned Hobbes earlier and I commented that 'everyone is Hobbesian' (ie.believes in some sort of functioning state). I should have added: 'except the anarchists' But then who cares about them?

Ooh, I have another dull party small-talk anecdote (hurray!)
A bore was holding forth about Atlas Shrugged, like they do from time to time, the tedious wankers. Anyway, it became a lot less tedious for me when he repeatedly referred to the author as Anais Nin. Brilliant. Now that would have been a very different, and much more interesting book!

Come on chaps, I don't really think we can form an opinion on Bennett until Scraper has told us what her IQ is.
