An interesting perspective on the two main parties. I had to smile at the idea that there is only solidarity within the communist party and those in the wrong are motivated by selfishness, unlike those who win the (often petty) arguments, who are only humble followers of the will of the people.

Yes, it was interesting insight - how simple people at the bottom of party piramids think and act. They do not like complicated ideas and tend to oversimplify. In this aspect Communists have some good ideas which get good response from people. He said there are many sympathisers but not many are ready to fight on a daily basis.

The point I tried to impress on him - the power is dangerous tool and too many were spoilt when they reach the top.

I don't know what was impression he got from my views - very probably he thought about the mess in my head and blamed pacifist religion (don't forget about opium for people) of mine. But I can admit he was much better in expressing his views in very simple words.

Yesterday our meeting abruptly ended by several calls - he rushed to meeting with landless labourers, and was helping another with problem aboiut his study (some sort of documents were needed). That was amazing.
