Perhaps it depends on what you’re interested in Richard? The Soviets lost the money race and one of the most courageous and humanitarian Statesmen, ever, did just enough to do what weapons could never have achieve.

Events at the time of Wilson did not centre on him any more than the ‘upper classes’ or ‘working classes’. Military force was no real option of subjugation as that gun fired both ways. The button pushers would always have survived – they spent enough to ensure that – but who wants to be the boss of a pile of radio-active ash?

Communism doesn’t and can’t offer anything to the rich and powerful who, if so inclined, tend to be best tempted by more money and/or more power. The Proletariat – those without property and effective capital whose only resource is their labour – tend to be infinitely less demanding and far easier to influence with promises and illusions. Between the two lays the antiestablishmentarian and the ideologists, often intelligent and usually not without means or influence – dangerous!

While the public face of the military paraded about and rattled sabres, concerted infiltration took place with the intention of corrupting and manipulating the production, education and communications core of British society. Destabilisation and immobilisation leading to anarchy. Destruction of a Nation from within. Among the least successfully penetrated were the police. Not because they were ’fascists’ as Communist propaganda fervently proclaimed, but because at that time they were rich in quality ex-servicemen – thank God.

It was unthinkable Britain could become Communist, but not totally impossible.
