Part Two: Robert Maxwell: How Ghislaine Maxwell's Dad Ruined Science

He had obviously already become rich and in the mid-1960s he starts to work towards political power. In 1964 he runs for Parliament in the constituency of Buckingham and he wins as a member of the Labour Party. And this is a weird aside, he identifies as a socialist his entire life.

Yeah, here's the thing. But not scientific research. Not scientific research. That doesn't count. And also unions don't count. Okay. I think he identifies as a socialist because his mom did. And he isn't one. He never acts as one. But I think that's just a part of his ego. He probably knows his mom would not like what he's done with his life at this point. Aber ja, er ist Teil der Labour Party.

Part Two: Robert Maxwell: How Ghislaine Maxwell's Dad Ruined Science

So, Robert is now gotten himself into Parliament, is part of Labour. And you have to remember, again, he's a socialist and he's also a business owner though. And so he hates unions because they compete with his power. And so when interviewed after the election, he tells everybody, I come from a very humble farm laboring family and would rather cut off my arm than betray my class.

Part Two: Robert Maxwell: How Ghislaine Maxwell's Dad Ruined Science

His political peers who knew him claimed that he also told them he wanted to become prime minister, and one colleague cited in the book Fall later quoted him as having admitted, well, of course I'm conservative, but I'm not a member of the establishment, so I've got to become labor. Which is a very Trumpian comment, right? That like... I'm not a member of the establishment. I'm a billionaire.
