Parteigenosse Eric Hobsbawm: Still Chained to Communist Slavery
by The Editor
By Dr Frank Ellis - A recent programme of BBC Radio 4’s Archive on 4 was dedicated to the life and works of the Marxist historian, Eric Hobsbawm. One of the striking things to emerge from Simon Schama’s extended interview with Hobsbawm was that the interviewee’s commitment to Marxism had not diminished or even been fundamentally re-evaluated in the light of the final collapse of the Soviet Union and its East European empire in 1985-1991. Hobsbawm even re-affirmed his commitment to Marxism, oblivious or indifferent to the fact that Marxist regimes had slaughtered tens of millions of people in trying to build some global socialist utopia.

After visiting Berlin, for the second time in a year, I am constantly impressed by the history and culture of such a fine nation. Yet, along with the majestic churches and buildings of a bygone imperial empire, it is the public transport system that never fails to impress me. Most Britons have reached the phase that, all a delayed train warrants, is a very English roll of the eyes and a quiet complain to another. Going to Berlin though, and experiencing a highly efficient, on time and cheap method of travel, this expectation, was immediately broken, once I was back in England. I truly realised how terribly overpriced and inefficient the privatised rail network is.

By David Hamilton - 'We are not merely natural but we are natural in the sense that our lives are held together by emotional relationships and the numinous things in life like art and religion and a need for countryside as well as beautiful landscapes, rather than ideologies. We are natural in the sense that we form emotional relationships with our families and communities and our countryside. We have a duty to pass on the environment we have inherited to our children, as they, in turn, will have a duty to pass it on to their children.'
