Cult of Personality

Personality cults never end well. Trouble is, it's the ordinary people who suffer.

Chaps like Caligula, Stalin, Hitler and Mao all had public adoration on demand. Especially if their citizens knew what was good for them.

Which is why I'm concerned about the Corbynistas' adoration now.

This video has morphed a lot since I first thought of the idea, mainly thanks to the charmers that broke into the business centre that houses our office, kicked all the doors in and made off with a large number of items, including my Canon EOS 500D.

Turns out the microphone on my Logitech webcam isn't up to the task of voiceover duty. 

So this is more of a juxtaposition of two demagogues in action, with a side order of "I'm a Marxist insurrectionist" for good measure.

If you like it, please subscribe on both Minds and YouTube. I'm planning on weekly releases, although most of my future videos will be commentary and snark-rich. 

Right, off to buy podcasting gear...
