I'm with you there - that fight is long and gone. Thats not what he's about these days at all.
He's all about hating he BNP, hating Bush, hating Bair (obviously I dont agree with that on like, but no ones perfect), fighting for poor...fighting for the country's soul basically.
The guy is a legend, and he constantly restores my faith in people everytime I see him.
what is hating those three got to do with fighting for the poor?
I am today going to mug three old ladies, but it is alrioght because "I am doing it as part of my fight for the poor".

Nothing at all - they were all seperate things (see the comma?).
Billy Bragg is all about himself; a normal human being. The difference is that he is a dishonest coward because he neatly picks his fights on territory that he knows he can win on. He does so by cynically pretending to be on the side of people who find life difficult, just as every do gooder does. So instead of giving these people the air to breathe, the education they need and the opportunities and self respect that would lift them from despair, people like him, looking to do no more than rid themselves of their own guilt (about being rich and priviliged), end up meddling and make lives worse for the poor and disadvantaged.
Billy Bragg and his affluent socialist mates have a vested interest in keeping a healthy population of the world in poverty. It enables them to enjoy their considerable wealth yet still feel good about themselves without needing to make any sacrifices of their own.
Unfortunately there are enough idiots in this world to be taken in by their posturings.

No - you said that communism doesn't work because of the greed of the people at the top and you said you supported it as an ideal. Now, as usual, you are not backing up your comments

No, I said I appreciated it as an idealism. That is very very different.
I've never said I supported communism.
I appreciate all sorts of things, different religions for example, yet I'm not religous.
