Just because the Soviet Union fell and China is thinking Capitalist these days, doesn’t mean that the Reds aren’t still trying to recreate their old slave empire; albeit sometimes on a smaller scale.

Aravindan Balakrishnan and his wife Chanda, who ran a Maoist collective in the 1970s, recruited mainly women who shared their far left ideology.

Last week the two former leaders of the extremist cell, a man aged 73 and a woman aged 67, were arrested on suspicion of having held three women against their will for more than 30-years.

The alleged victims, a 69-year-old woman from Malaysia, a 57-year-old Irish woman and a 30-year-old Briton, were released last month after one of them contacted the Freedom Charity to complain of their treatment.

Professor Steve Rayner, from Oxford University, who wrote extensively about the group said: “They were a tiny, very tight-knit group clearly under the spell of their leader. Their membership was overwhelmingly overseas in origin.

“Most were foreign students who seemed to have difficulty adjusting to life in the UK. They refused to recognise the legitimacy of the state and state institutions and maintained a hostile attitude towards the establishment and towards the rest of the far-left in Britain at that time. Their ideology was profoundly detached from reality.”

The Daily Telegraph has learned that the couple arrested last week were well known to the police having set up a notorious Communist squat in 1974 and have both served prison sentences associated with their political activities.

Based in Brixton, south London, the couple set about recruiting women from other far left groups, encouraging them to engage in “revolutionary work”.

Commander Steve Rodhouse from the Metropolitan Police said, “Somehow that collective came to an end and how the women ended up continuing to live with the suspects. How this resulted in the women living in this way for over 30 years is what are seeking to establish, but we believe emotional and physical abuse has been a feature of all the victims’ lives.”

That’s how you can tell they were authentic Maoists. If they don’t enslave you and scar you for life; they’re not the real deal.

    And the left continues to gain willing recruits.

      The left has always been responsible for many shortages of many things, but somehow can always come up with a seemingly endless supply of idiots. I think they manufacture them.
