The lesson the left has never learnt

An article on Respect, an alliance between the Lenninists of SWP and the fuedal threocrats of the Muslim Brotherhood, and the lessons the left about the left they show. Notibly that the hard left tends towards Totalitarianism, and considers that the ends always justify the means. This last point is one of the few areas that Tony Blair and the far left actually agree, except that Tony has forgotten what the end, other than power, he was trying to get to. Assuming that is that he was ever interested in anything other than power for it's own sake.
