At least Tony Benn didn't take himself as seriously as his disciples do about him and themselves. He would note that as Hugh Gaitskell's modernising comms chief he was 'the Peter Mandelson of his day.' I was told by a Bennite I was a malicious Blarite liar when I mentioned this. Reminding the cult that Anthony W-B was a middle of the road technocratic minister in the 60s will also get you in hot water.

The thing about Tony Benn (which these cunts will never understand) is that he was a very nice man, and would never berate someone else for having a different view of socialism. Like so many of us lefties he knew that there would be huge barriers to achieving the sort of society he wanted, and that the Labour Party would be the best vehicle to get as much as possible of that vision. That would surely make him a sell-out in their eyes?

He also had a passion for parliamentary democracy which I doubt they share.
