CHURCH
AND STATE
A
liberal democracy, such as exists in
Is
effectively a compromise between church and state,
The
Conservatives aligned with the
Left-wing
parties aligned with the socialist State,
A kind
of political tug-of-war ensuing
Between
the two which, however, is never resolved,
There
being no will on the Left for a state absolutism,
All
parties implicated in the atomic relativity
Of
a liberal democracy.
The
Labour Party may be anti-democratic in essence,
But only
within the relative context of liberalism,
Not on any
absolute basis.
Conversely,
the Liberal Democrats, while being
In
essence democratic, are more radically so
Than
their Liberal forerunners.
Being
democratic does of course imply
One's
favouring a mixed, and hence relative, economy,
Whether in
terms of a balance between
The
private and public sectors, as in Liberalism,
Or in
terms of an oscillation between the private
And
public sectors, as in Liberal Democracy,
Whereas
the 'anti-democratic' Labour Party
Have
traditionally favoured the public sector alone,
And thus
endeavoured to nationalize
As much
as possible whilst in office,
In
contrast to the privatizing Tories,
With
whom they were in bitter conflict.
If
capitalism and Protestantism slot together,
Then so
do socialism and communism,
But the
democratic socialists aren't nearly
As
communist as left-wing Marxists, who are
Outside
the pale of the liberal compromise -
Upholders
of a state absolutism.
