New Labour: Still Marxists Even Though Anti-Worker?

Of course.

Marxism is about the ends, by any means available. Class struggle was one such means in its day. But that was all that it ever was: a means, available at the time.

The end - of destroying the family, private property and the State (none of which can exist without the other two) - is completely unchanged.

When were Marxists ever really concerned about working people? On the contrary, they always scorned things like the Welfare State, workers' rights, full employment, local government and Parliament.

And they still do.

    Not all of them are.

    Of course, in their own terms, they should be. But in practice they aren't necessarily.

    Beats em, but there we are.
