Are New Labour Maoists?

Maoism supports the concept of "continual revolution". It seems that New Labour prefer instability to stability and see "continual reform" as a good mechanism for quality services.

Sadly they have turned up the heat of continual change on the health service. This is causing problems all over the country.

There is a cynical judgement at work - that how much a party appears to care about something depends on how much it talks about it.

And to have something to talk about, there must be 'reform' - perpetual revolution.

And because Labour must have an ideological battle within itself over any kind of reform, it has little energy left ever to scrutinise the details.
