Singer Robbie Williams has revealed himself to be a secret communist.
The Take That singer believes the political movement - which aims for a classless society based upon common ownership - is preferable to capitalism although he admits he struggles with his political beliefs because he wants to buy a Rolls Royce.
Writing on his blog, he revealed: "Capitalistic conspiracy? I'm with you. The system is destined to explode and I think it's sooner rather than later ... If we could get communism to work without corruption ... I'm in ....The Rolls Royce Phantom is the ultimate symbol (for me any way) of our desire for 'stuff' and it's all 'stuff'. Bulls**t when you break it down ... consume, consume, consume ... we're at the tipping point my friends.
"Fasten your seatbelt we're in for a bumpy ride ... I'm a socialist capitalist which leads to guilt. (sic)"
