First I tried to kill it with a hammer.

I have a theory (which is mine) of what drives youth socialism. It's not just clueless youthful enthusiasm, it's hormones as well. They're a hotbed of hot beds. Leadership is inherently sexy. Even John Howard has groupies. (Which shows there's not much lower than a political groupie.) Dynamic phrases in a small group with a sense of purpose gets the chicks. Doesn't matter what the purpose is. Younger leaders and followers are also unhindered by clues or experience. I once started reading this history of Australian communism: The Reds by Stuart Macintyre. It completely failed to go into the real cause of all the splinter groups splintering and reforming: the history of your hundreds of People's Fronts of Judaea is someone sleeping with someone that someone else thought they shouldn't have and declaring a schism. And the big draw is: where else are you going to find that many smart young women with shaven heads, overalls, Doc boots and all their original body hair, who are nevertheless mostly heterosexual? COMMUNISM IS CAUSED BY DYKE FETISHISM. Thank you.

If bloody Gareth hadn't been jumping into bed with ... what was her name again? Damn, we'd still have a political climate I could tolerate.
