Secondly... you're conflating socialism with communism. They're not the same thing.

he is supporting a society/system that creates incredible wealth for the few and very little for the many whilst paying lipservice to a system that supports neither?

surely as a socialist he should be fighting to end capitalism not supporting it?


I guess there is no such thing as being a socialist its just a state of mind when it suits?

ie go on a demo to fight poverty one day and buy a £3000 mountain bike the next, that type of thing
