Political Ideas
Miliband's ability to merge theoretical discussion of Marxism with practical action in trying to promote revolutionary socialism led Duncan Hallas to characterising him as floating "between the best of the academic left and revolutionary left".
Miliband's ideas were an influence on other revolutionary socialists, including those of his friend, the Pakistani-British historian and activist Tariq Ali.

Famous quotes containing the words political and/or ideas:
“Genocide begins, however improbably, in the conviction that classes of biological distinction indisputably sanction social and political discrimination.”
—Andrea Dworkin (b. 1946)
“Forgetfulness is necessary to remembrance. Ideas are retained by renovation of that impression which time is always wearing away, and which new images are striving to obliterate. If useless thoughts could be expelled from the mind, all the valuable parts of our knowledge would more frequently recur, and every recurrence would reinstate them in their former place.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
