The beautiful and the beasts of Highgate cemetery.

Visiting the Catacombs and notable graves of the famous Highgate cemetery in London. Encountering a fox and facing down the father of communism. Prize fighters, poisoned Russians and punk rockers.

George Michael has by far the neatest and well kept grave at Highgate. Visited in 2019 and found it absolutely amazing.

I wonder how different the site would have felt were you wandering around after dark with a flaming torch...Or even a grey afternoon when the fog comes down. Bet it would have been a quicker visit! Very atmospheric place, even when viewing on the small screen. Top work as always, Steve, really enjoyed 'walking' around with you and learnt a lot.

Surprised they don't do after dark tours tbh what with the Hammer horror film connections, but I gather due to the Highgate Vampire stuff back in the 80s around David Farrant, they shy away from anything relating to the macabre.

Quite an amazing place. I hope the cemetery is being maintaned enough to keep it respectable for the residents resting there.

Can't understand a darn thing.

Marx split with Lenin and the reason he split was that Marx envisioned a non-hierarchical community designed by and owned by labor- the working class, with rotating leadership who held as much power as the workers. An employee owned company is the perfect representation of Marxism.
Lenin believed this couldn't happen without a 'strong man' authoritarian leader who held absolute power. So Marx split with him.
Lenin won- but Marx still gets attacked for Lenins creation. There has never been a true 'Marxist' society outside - for example- Native American tribes and other egalitarian tribal groups.

Marx wrote the communist manifesto not Lenin. 100 million died because of MARXS manifesto.
