Lakeland, I think "marxist - libertarian" was a typo, what he actually meant was Machiavellian librarian.
simply because he uses the term marxist does not make it so. especially considering some of his colleagues consider themselves champions of free speech. i know he isn't a marxist. the term libertarian is misused by these nongs also. ![]()

Brendan O'Niel has always been left always will be, but an intelligent left that I certainly like to read.
If only we had more like him.

Ahhh. Brendan O'neil.
New poster boy for those on the right that need a mouthpiece to provide them with an opinion that they can then regurgitate.

_______________________________________________________________________________________
Here is a challenge for you Silverfaun: to find a single piece of written literature from Brandan O'Neill that is NOT right leaning.
Cause in all the years I have been following him, I don't recall a single word written that in line with left wing principles.
Does he agree with global warming? No
What about carbon emissions? No.
Does he think we should we act against racism? No.
What about the rights of same sex couples in marriage? No.
Does he write respectfully of lower classes or those that are disadvantaged? No.
Free speech at any cost? Yes please!
A Marxist my foot. In fact the only bit of the Manifesto he seems to have registered is Marx's (out of context) praise for capitalism.
O'Neill doesn't quite understand that being anti-government and anti-regulation does not make you a Marxist.

Most of those dot points are radical left wing and Green obsessions and any sane person would avoid them if they wanted to be taken seriously. ![]()

Which of his opinions do you deem to be left wing?

Really?
Any 'sane' person would not agree with same sex marriage?
Any 'sane' person would not agree with the state acting against racism?
They are barely left wing, let alone radical.
He is so right winged he could well be Thatchers secret love child. Marxist indeed!
