Carl Benjamin: I've seen this clip many times...

I've seen this clip many times, now, and Peter Hitchens' lucidity and sincerity never ceases to resonate. He is the one sane man in a madhouse of liberals, trying desperately to get them to understand that our problems are self-made and the system we have created is destroying something not only precious but irreplaceable. Naturally, nobody understood him, and so he is not so much a posh Nostradamus but instead an English Cassandra, doing everything to raise the alarm but forever cursed to cast his pearls before swine. One can feel the desperation in his presentation. When they accuse him of, in fact, hating Britain it becomes clear that they have absolutely no idea what he's talking about. Tragic, frankly.

Carl Benjamin: The problem that the left...

The problem that the left has with the term "socialism" is the ineffablility of its definition. Socialism seems to ultimately mean a centralised, rationalised, and fundamentally unnatural order of society, and this is usually adopted by the left because their end goal demands it, but it could also be adopted by the right for other purposes. This is why fascism and nazism haunt the left-wing mind in a way that normal people just don't think about. They want all the groundwork done that could possibly enable fascism, just for their plan. It's completely believable that someone could hijack such a system for other ends.
