Ralph Miliband co-edited the Socialist Register with John Saville, not with Leo 
Panitch. I went through the Saville-Miliband correspondence in 2005 - it's a 
goldmine, because the two men were working together for three decades 
publishing all sorts of distinguished left-wing thinkers. They often wrote each 
other daily. There's some very funny stuff in their letters about the worries 
some of their more difficult contributors caused them:

Saville died last year, and I wrote an obituary for him which discusses his 
relationship with Miliband:

I don't know who said it first, but it's been doing the rounds in Britain.
Ralph Miliband showed in theory that the Labour Party will always betray the
working class, and his sons are demonstrating this in practice.

Among other things, he was co-editor of the annual 'Socilialist
Register' with Leo Panitch.

And author of many good books:

(and two of his offspring now populate the Brown ministry.)

A good friend of mine was a personal friend of Ralph Milliband and got to
know the boys as they grew up.  It seems that one day they looked at the
father and decided that he had achieved nothing as a militant communist.  So
they came in from the cold and now are an essential part of the Labour Party
machine and the American Imperial imperative.

Some achievement boys!  Well done.

Of course this is a terrible betrayal of all the father stood for, but as I
always point out that aside from the psychological dimensions of such
actions, and there would have been a very sublimated drive to a kind of
patricide, the material benefits of betraying the father have been
considerable.  Quite simply because of the father  the boys had something to
sell and the Establishment was very willing to part with the 30 pieces of
silver.

regards

Gary
