In perhaps the most weird comment of 2009 (my bolding):He won’t (really) apologise, and he won’t go - no not at all. The point as you have well made is power, just that. to be “in power” - it does not even matter to these GramscoFabiaNazis if everybody else is in prison, such as in North Korea or Cuba for instance - so long as “one is in power”.
I often think of Ceaucescu these days - anyone remember him? At least Sarah Hobbsbawm does not claim to be the mother of her people, we are spared that, yet.
GramscoFabiaNazis. Apparently this is a popular term worthy of repeating, although apparently only to the author of it. I have no idea who he means by "Sarah Hobbsbawn". I think it is a combination of Gordon Brown's wife Sarah, and Eric Hobsbawm, although perhaps it has something to with Hobbs.
