"One should not underestimate the influence of the communist lecturers in Oxford and Cambridge."
The "intellectuals" always make the mistake of thinking that they won't be murdered once they help convert a country to communism/marxism. They are generally the first ones to be lined up against a wall.
What credence would you give a poll taken of the airhead listeners to DeadAir Amerika???
I rest my case.
Nothing here. Time to move on (no pun intended) ...
A lot of people in America forget or don't know that the British Labour Party of Tony Blair is STILL a member in good standing of the Party of European Socialists AND the Socialist Internationale. Blair just repackaged British socialism by applying the marketing label "NEW" Labour to it, like new and improved Crest toothpaste, its still just toothpaste.
Cambridge-Oxford is like Harvard-Yale in socialistic teaching...but times 10.
Or John Locke?
These voters are people who obviously believe that the philosphical basis for democracy is worth nothing compared to the philosphical basis for slavery, mass starvation, and deprivation of fundamental rights (ie. life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness).
Fascist beasts!
Someone anti-Freeped that poll.
The Guardian is leftist, even for Britain, isn't it? You can tell Bragg is a lefty, he has too much hair...and it's nicly coiffed .
Melvin?
Well it IS a philosophy, I guess.
The despots DUped and DUmped on the poll.
Try a higher number.
Stalin did that all by himself. Don't forget Mao, Pol Pot, and all the others.

Immanual Kant was a real pissant Who was very rarely stable
Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy beggar Who could think you under the table
David Hume could out consume Schopenhauer and Hegel
And Wittgenstein was a beery swine Who was just as schloshed as Schlegel
There's nothing Nietzche couldn't teach ya 'Bout the raising of the wrist Socrates, himself, was permanently pissed
John Stuart Mill, of his own free will On half a pint of shandy was particularly ill
Plato they say, could stick it away Half a crate of whiskey every day
Aristotle, Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle Hobbes was fond of his dram
And Rene' Descartes was a drunken fart "I drink, therefore I am"
Yes, Socrates, himself, is particularly missed A lovely little thinker But a bugger when he's pissed
Oh Lydia, oh Lydia, say, have you met Lydia?
Lydia The Tattooed Lady.
She has eyes that folks adore so,
and a torso even more so.
Lydia, oh Lydia, that encyclo-pidia.
Oh Lydia The Queen of Tattoo.
On her back is The Battle of Waterloo.
Beside it, The Wreck of the Hesperus too.
And proudly above waves the red, white, and blue.
You can learn a lot from Lydia!
La-la-la...la-la-la.
La-la-la...la-la-la.
When her robe is unfurled she will show you the world,
if you step up and tell her where.
For a dime you can see Kankakee or Paree,
or Washington crossing The Delaware.
La-la-la...la-la-la.
La-la-la...la-la-la.
Oh Lydia, oh Lydia, say, have you met Lydia?
Lydia The Tattooed Lady.
When her muscles start relaxin',
up the hill comes Andrew Jackson.
Lydia, oh Lydia, that encyclo-pidia.
Oh Lydia The Queen of them all.
For two bits she will do a mazurka in jazz,
with a view of Niagara that nobody has.
And on a clear day you can see Alcatraz.
You can learn a lot from Lydia!
La-la-la...la-la-la.
La-la-la...la-la-la.
Come along and see Buffalo Bill with his lasso.
Just a little classic by Mendel Picasso.
Here is Captain Spaulding exploring the Amazon.
Here's Godiva, but with her pajamas on.
La-la-la...la-la-la.
La-la-la...la-la-la.
Here is Grover Whelan unveilin' The Trilon.
Over on the west coast we have Treasure Isle-on.
Here's Nijinsky a-doin' the rhumba.
Here's her social security numba.
La-la-la...la-la-la.
La-la-la...la-la-la.
Lydia, oh Lydia, that encyclo-pidia.
Oh Lydia The Champ of them all.
She once swept an Admiral clear off his feet.
The ships on her hips made his heart skip a beat.
And now the old boy's in command of the fleet,
for he went and married Lydia!
I said Lydia...
(He said Lydia...)
They said Lydia...
We said Lydia, la, la!
I'm sorry, it just had to be done.
Marx was a third-rate hack, even by the standards of the humanities and social sciences. He was an intellectual lightweight by any measure.
No university on Earth would permit an adherent of the Flat Earth Society to teach its astromony course. Why, oh why, do universities let, nay, require disciples of the socio-economic equivalent populate their faculties? How many times does marxism have to be shown to guarantee failure before we can put a stake through its destructive heart.
