You're saying that Foot wanted a Marxist dictatorship
Where the **** did I say that? I said it would have led us into becoming one, not the same thing! (for example, if he had won in '83, Militant would have used their dominance of the NEC, assured through the process of entrism, to take over the party and take us down that road) - thats not the same as saying that Foot would have directly led us there, but at the same time, there is no doubting that Foot and his cronies were heavily influenced by the Soviet union, and that they received funding, directly and/or indirectly, from them, and from the KGB, in an attempt by the Soviets to influence the direction of British Politics
To use the words of Kaufman, who was there at the time:
It is clear that key elements in the Labour party structure were determined to ingratiate themselves with Moscow — regardless of any adverse electoral impact in Britain.
Let us take Ron Hayward, who was Labour’s general secretary for most of the previous ten years. He was the worst... his aspiration was not a Labour government implementing beneficial policies for the electorate but a National Executive Committee, elected partly by trade union block votes and partly by hard-left constituency parties. Hayward envisaged an annual Labour party conference controlled by trade union block votes, dominating the parliamentary leadership, whose electoral fate he regarded as irrelevant.
I am particularly nauseated by the boot-licking relationship of these clowns with Viktor Kubeikin, who was the chief KGB spy in London. Poor, innocent Foot had dealings with Kubeikin in complete ignorance of his being a KGB high-up.
The thing about you Lefties - is that you're unable to see beyond simplistic black/white child-like arguments, so when I say "The approach by Callaghan to the Argentinians played a critical part in forming the complex chain of events which led us down the road to the '82 invasion" you're unable to actually read that without interpreting it as me saying "the Falklands war was nothing to do with Thatcher"
Don't get me wrong, I don't blame you entirely for this failure, its part of the inherent naiveté on which socialist idealism is founded 
The Labour parliamentary candidates weren't who they claimed to be and were in fact just ringers.
