A hundred years ago, the socialist international represented millions of workers but in 1915 at the Zimmerwald conference the delegates joked that the number of socialist internationalists could be fitted into one or two stage coaches.
In the 1920s Stalin claimed to have decisively routed Socialism which he termed "Trotskyism".
Hitler claimed that he had completely annihilated socialism and communism.
Margaret Thatcher made the same grandiose claim.
Yet today we still have people who feel the need to denounce socialism at great length - denouncing something they have decisively destroyed.....several times.
It makes you wonder.
