Interesting fact about Adam Smith

While hundreds of Tories run around their front rooms pulling at their hair and screaming 'the debt, the debt, we haven't any money left' clear headed socialists should be sanely analysing the Capitalist Crisis that got us here and campaigning for an alternative to the anarchy. Part of that process should be organising trade union and community opposition against the ConDem cuts and focusing on defending good democratically controlled public services and the hard earned terms and conditions of all public sector workers.

So, while the Tories carry out their ideological war it is worth remembering that when they start quoting the so called benefits of the free market in replacing public services (you know, all that small state, 'big society' bollocks) and worshiping at the altar of Adam Smith that it was Smithy himself who supported the very type of unions opposing this crap.

Worth using those arguments eh?
