I was reading a piece by an American guy called Raffi Melkonian what I spotted this.
British Tories, for example, constantly argue that people should vote for them because they'll protect the UK's flatly Stalinist free health service
Stalinist?
Of course the NHS is a socialist idea, I'd argue with bureaucratic, wasteful and inefficient but at least I would understand where the argument is coming from, but Stalinist?
Last time I looked we weren't presiding over purges of the wrong type of doctor or shooting patients. So what's Stalinist about the NHS?
