Ash Crimson posted:What would you have me do? Argue, as opposed to declaim. But be kinder to yourself mate. We can and should help others to bear their burdens. If you personally want to leave Labour then go for it. But use the time and money on other socialist causes. I don't know any because I am bad at research atm, but there are always things to look up, always people to help. And if you can't deal that is fine too. But I think a lot of us are trying to work out the best way of continuing. I know there is a lot of despair, and who knows, sometimes there should be. But it's important for us to build as much resilience against the world as we can, and to try and make better things out of it.

Apraxin posted:Could actually will be worse than that - this report was meant to be a supplement to the EHCR anti-semitism investigation, now that it's not backing up their narrative, the party's refusing to send it. If the EHCR comes back with even the mildest criticisms, all these loving ghouls will claim vindication, sweep this report under the rug, demand a final purge of the vile corbynites,a nd then call for unity and putting it all behind us.

OwlFancier posted:Some of us don't have the luxury of surrendering, I can't afford to live my life just "giving up" all the time, because I don't have anything left to give up. If politics is life or death for people what the hell else do you characterise giving up as? Giving up on the Labour Party isn't give up on life for fucksake, it's not even giving up on politics. Just recognising that the people behind Keir Starmer will use that same machine we're all angrily gurning about to ensure the left never get near power in the party again. By all means, put your effort into stopping that if you think it's possible but stop acting like quitting a party they joined 5 years ago is some cowardly act of surrender. Maybe you're right. Maybe cooler heads prevail; no biggie, we can just rejoin the party. List all the times in the last 120 years that the left, the actual "socialism is about radically changing the economy & country, not just having the state running a few large industries" left have been in a position to do anything in the Labour Party. The Foot years, arguably the Corbyn years. There's not a lot beyond that. I think it's not unreasonable to acknowledge that history & conclude maybe it's not the most effective platform unless all you want is a few policies to mitigate the worst of capitalism, in which case sure, moderately less bad things are possible.

Al-Saqr posted:It’s really incredible how evil and malignant blairite labour people were and how they completely made up the antisemitism thing against corbyn. Liberals are evil man. The report posted:This report thoroughly disproves any suggestion that antisemitism is not a problem in the Party, or that it is all a “smear” or a “witch-hunt” Look, we can't lose sight of the fact that the antisemitism problem wasn't made up, some complaints were valid, and some of these were poorly dealt with. If Ian Austin and pals wants to dismiss the whole report as a whitewash, he needs to explain why it says contrary to that on the first page of the summary and goes into great detail on some valid complaints. If he wants to engage with it, he needs to explain why the complaints process was used to selectively target left wing members of the party. We cheapen ourselves if we cherry pick the bits that suit us and ignore the rest. We can afford to swallow it whole. This report is the moral high ground served up on a plate. It's an opportunity to clean the house of antisemites and wreckers. The point of staying in the party is that we can force Starmer to go after both.

yeah thanks for the report drop!Endjinneer posted:Look, we can't lose sight of the fact that the antisemitism problem wasn't made up, some complaints were valid, and some of these were poorly dealt with. I think what yon goon meant wasn't the antisemitism problem, but the Antisemitism Problem - the whole issue of huge numbers of reports (exaggerated to make the problem look bigger) and the slow process (with deliberate interference to prevent things being dealt with). Not only have the people who pushed this as a huge issue suddenly given up interest now Corbyn's out, it turns out many of them were responsible for it If you genuinely care about ridding the party of antisemitism, then the deliberate sabotaging of the complaints process should be a huge deal - imagine the outcry if Corbyn had been doing actively doing that. But now everyone involved suddenly wants to drop it, because it was never a real issue they cared about in the first place, and they threw victims of that abuse under the bus for political gain https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CameSDK-2m8

Starmer responds to the day's events:quote:There are unresolved issues in the Parliamentary Labour Party and we do need to resolve them as soon as possible. We need to be an outward looking confident party rather than inward divided party, so we need to address that. On the other hand I respect colleagues who want to make their voice heard from different places, whether it’s the back bench, the mid bench through select committees or on the front bench. But we also need to remember that forming a strong opposition is what is needed, not just for the Labour Party but for the country. This is actually from 2016 but let's be honest he'll be milquetoastier now if anything
