I cant do this easily as I read digital but you should read Second Hand Time by Svetlana Alexievich, she rightly won the nobel prize for it. Especially you Brian Moore its right up your street mate

Glad of this definition as I didn't know. So definitely not socialists then as I have understood the word to mean for about 60 years. In fact liberal capitalism. Thanks

I hope you're right but I have seen no really positive signs in my long life, just occasional failed rebellions. Nothing will change in my lifetime and probably not in yours. Best to focus on things you can change

Yes millions die either way. But how would you go about overthrowing the capitalist system? The middle and ruling classes of the world aren't going to give up their privilege voluntarily are they?

Well the USSR and China killed about 150,000,000 trying to destroy capitalism, it didn't work. I can't think of another way, can you?

Yes but Spain is also the most mountainous country in Europe (bar Switzerland), presenting huge logistical problems. Also there are high speed railways all over the country.

"Second hand time" by Svetlana Alexievich, read it, it is brilliant, (if you dare), it is a traumatic and devastating account of USSR transition to capitalism and explains a lot about Russia today

I remember writing to Hendrick Van Den Berg the head of B.O.S.S in S.A. in the 70s expressing similar sentiment, he replied that I didn't understand the situation there, but if I chose to visit his agents would explain in detail. Obviously I didn't go.Hell I'm Still scared
