Marxist Marmite 
 
My eyes can‘t help but
Roll off my head when I 
Think back to that year.

1975? 2016?

Like the Helsinki Accords, my
Infant recollections of 1975 are
Non-binding. A year in which

Pol Pot is hailed by some 
As Liberator – 
Liberator to those
Poor souls at odds with their 
Last turn on the
Wheel of Samsara, perhaps. 

A year in which Labour, 
Fulminating against the
Capitalist Common Market,
Loses the plot, loses the
Referendum.

2016
Another year, 
Another referendum.

With a Remain campaign 
Charitably described as
Lacklustre,
Citizen Smith of Islington has a
Vision for Europe in which 
He sings the Internationale 
Shoulder to shoulder with 
Erich Honecker.

No doubt pining for Comecon, 
Citizen Smith fondly imagines 
Concluding a barter agreement with
Maduro’s Venezuela. That way,
Momentum’s elite cadre are guaranteed
Avocado toast for breakfast every Morning. 

In return, the
Bolivarian Revolution is
Garlanded with jars of Marmite.

Dissidents brought in for questioning are Treated to the Marmite Taste Test.

Those who find it revolting are forced to Ingest spoonful after spoonful in a Method akin to salt-water torture.

Those who find it delectable are sent to a
Psych ward where Marmite forms the Mainstay of its token economy,
Nurtured and watched over by the
Revolutionary Guard’s own
Nurse Ratched.

Et c'est une très bonne nouvelle. Je ne m'imagine pas abandonnant mes enfants, ma compagne, mes lunettes pour retourner aux champs ou dans un camp de travail defini par le plan.

‘Spijt is niet het begrip dat bij mij bovenkomt: #Rosenmöller in 2004 op Radio 1 over zijn verleden als #Rode #Khmer-propagandist.
#PolPot-vereren zonder zichzelf ook maar één #morele vraag te stellen?
Zouden er nu Eerste Kamerleden zijn die hem er af en toe aan herinneren?
