It is interesting, I think, in light of Jeremy Cobyn's current twists and turns to get himself into a position to wreck the economy of at least one hated capitalist country, that others of a seemingly lighter touch on the Left did so much more damage.
You will remember when Bill Clinton was the US President and Al Gore his side-kick, or Vice. Bill of course, insisted that banks gave loans to poor people to buy houses they couldn't afford. And in obeying his law he initiated the global economic crisis.
Al had his own plan to destroy Western capitalism (except he actually just used it, to make himself richer). He latched on to the Groupthink project of Global Warming and, as the accomplished snake-oil salesman he is, he spouted utter nonsense which resulted in governments pumping money in to carbon reduction projects and renewable energy.
By pure coincidence, Al was invested in these sorts of projects and has done very well out of it. He is even responsible for the extortionate amount you pay on your energy bills today. To make a few rich people richer.
So yes Jeremy, you not only look, sound and act like a bumbling amateur revolutionary, but that is actually what you are.
