Is there not an inherent contradiction in a 'revolutionary' communist running for election? You can forgive Fiona's youthful naivety, she has obviously avoided looking too closely at how brutal communist regimes have been throughout history, but Roger Waters has no excuse. His characterisation of communism as simply 'co-operating with each other and not making profits' isn't even childish, it's moronic. Fiona obviously thinks this moment in history is especially bad and that it has finally created the correct conditions for a communist uprising, led by radical young people, with a 'controlled economy' and the seizure and compulsory redistribution of wealth. She obviously hasn't looked too closely at how terrible conditions were before, inbetween and after the two world wars. She is obviously unaware of what happened In Europe, China, South America and Africa where it had all been done before. Sadly, not a single successful example of it working out okay for 'the workers', or anybody else for that matter. No communist utopia, no socialist paradise, no successful planned economies, no new wealth created after it has been stolen and redistributed and no successful workers' unions running countries for the betterment of their members. Meanwhile Roger seems to have confused colonialism with piracy and spends so little time in the UK he can not even correctly name Suella Braverman. Was he drunk?
