    Do you really know what your politics are? take the test and find out.

    "There's abundant evidence for the need of it. The old one-dimensional categories of 'right' and 'left', established for the seating arrangement of the French National Assembly of 1789, are overly simplistic for today's complex political landscape. For example, who are the 'conservatives' in today's Russia? Are they the unreconstructed Stalinists, or the reformers who have adopted the right-wing views of conservatives like Margaret Thatcher ?

    On the standard left-right scale, how do you distinguish leftists like Stalin and Gandhi? 
    It's not sufficient to say that Stalin was simply more left than Gandhi. There are fundamental political differences 
    between them that the old categories on their own can't explain. Similarly, we generally describe 
    social reactionaries as 'right-wingers', yet that leaves left-wing reactionaries like Robert Mugabe and Pol Pot 
    off the hook."

    That was really interesting.  Thanks for posting that.  Not really Everton related, save the fact that Everton are a major multi-national corporation :)

    some interesting insights on this page!

    49. The pro- fascist leaders of which company joined the DuPont family in plotting a military coup against President F.D.Roosevelt in 1933 ?

    US Steel
    Remington Arms
    J.P.Morgan
    Standard Oil
    All of them !

    All of them. 

    Twice decorated Major General Smedley Butler testified before the McCormack Dickstein Congressional Committee in 1934 that a cabal of pro-fascist and pro-national socialist Wall Street financiers had approached him to lead the coup. The Committee confirmed Butler's testimony, but deleted extensive excerpts from their report relating to the above and other corporations.

    I found that interesting - I'm a smidge to the left of Gandhi.
