WHEN CT Riley (HAS, Jan 6) mentioned that socialists fought the fascists before the Second World War he failed to mention that it was actually communists fighting fascists.
The fascists themselves, including Hitler, were socialists.
As usual, when socialism creates a catastrophe, socialists stand back and do one of two things.
Either, they deny the guilty parties were socialists at all, or they try to blame somebody else.
Britain stood against socialism in 1939. If it hadn’t CT Riley would now be flying Hitler’s Nazi (National Socialist Workers Party) red flag and swastika.
To suggest that anyone alive today owes their existence to the efforts of socialists is dishonest fantasy.
Before socialism, Britain had the world’s number one economy.
There’s a lesson in that.
So let’s work together to rebuild Britain.
David Ward, Richmond.
