Mr. Lobe posted:Asking as a foreigner, does this Keith guy actually have any kind of organic base of support, or is he just some controlled opposition golem that capitalist henchmen worked to get into this position He was parachuted from his job as the guy who rubberstamps government coverups into a safe seat as an MP in the labour party in 2015 and had an accompanying media campaign already calling for him as leader at that point Then he's been surrounded and lead by the most right-wing elements of labour the whole time who seem to be preying on his political naivety to pretend they can help him win, but theyve mainly been using him to purge the party of the left and settle old scores instead. The more boring option is he's just a creature of Progress, the right wing labour faction who support him. The more fun option is that he's also being pushed by the security state to capture labour after they viewed Corbynism as a threat, similar to how they captured and neutered The Guardian after the Snowden revelations were published there, making that paper a threat.

The threat of Corbyn was massive, if the UK had gone 5 years without a war that would have delegitimised the whole security state. Either by proving that we don't need eternal war and getting their budgets cut, or by delegitimising British democracy when they would have done it anyway against the governments wishes. You can see the Independent articles arguing against civilian control of the military if you close your eyes

I always thought the day Corbyn got elected as PM, London would go back to the old smog days, just from all the burning documents. On day two there'd be a coup.

The blairite I know told me that it's only fair that the right are purging the left after they got purged in the corbyn years. When asked about tom the reply was: well he was ousted wasn't he. Also this guy programs missiles for a living. e: also he said he mostly works there because of how good the pension is. he's 30+-5 years.

i like that research paper who tracked the cost of developing new fighter jets and came to the result that some insane proportion of GDP would be required in the near future , which people at the time scoffed at but then they soon started the F-35 program…

Communist Thoughts posted:Lmao they can carry "humanitarian aid" payload The name's origin came from the propaganda Molotov produced during the Winter War, mainly his declaration on Soviet state radio that bombing missions over Finland were actually airborne humanitarian food deliveries for their starving neighbours.[2] As a result, the Finns sarcastically dubbed the Soviet cluster bombs "Molotov bread baskets" in reference to Molotov's propaganda broadcasts.[3] When the hand-held bottle firebomb was developed to attack Soviet tanks, the Finns called it the "Molotov cocktail", as "a drink to go with his food parcels".[4]

The biosphere is on the brink of collapse. What future are these for? Is it just wishful thinking of some high tech fantasy or were they being pragmatic and its for water wars? In which case they've decided that diplomacy has already failed and the only hope is for space drones to kill all the climate refugees before they drink all our reservoirs.

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2021/sep/12/workers-shouldnt-wait-for-labour-victory-says-unites-sharon-graham Workers should not pin all their hopes on Labour winning the next election to improve pay and conditions after the Covid-19 pandemic, the new leader of one of Britain’s biggest trade unions has warned. In a significant intervention weeks before Sir Keir Starmer’s first in-person party speech, Sharon Graham said Unite would “get back to what it says on the trade union tin” and expressed reservations about the limits of what MPs could achieve She said she wanted to turn Unite into a “powerful union capable of winning for workers”, adding that was the only way they would not pay the price for the pandemic. Writing in the Guardian, Graham claimed many people underestimated her in the race to succeed Len McCluskey, including her rivals Steve Turner and Gerard Coyne, who “shut up shop assuming their own victory, while our troops were still on the ground battling for every vote”. She fuelled speculation Unite would develop a calmer but more distant relationship with Starmer’s Labour party, saying: “Post-pandemic, I believe we need to face new challenges with new responses. We need to get back to what it says on the trade union tin – fight for jobs, pay and conditions. We can’t keep hoping for the election of a Labour government to solve our members’ problems. Putting all our eggs in the Westminster basket will not deliver. When did the parliamentary Labour party win a collective bargaining agreement for workers at a workplace? We cannot have the political tail wagging Unite’s industrial dog any longer.” Graham also did not shy away from the strategy known as leverage, a form of industrial action with which she was familiar as the former head of Unite’s organising and leverage department. She dismissed as “scare stories” tales of Unite members “harassing employers’ families, including their children”, saying this was not true and that “aghast employers” had simply shed “crocodile tears”. “Leverage is a response to a hostile conflict with employers which uses ‘brain’ as well as ‘brawn’,” Graham wrote. “It takes union strategies into the forensic investigation of a business to see what is its real standing. Action follows. This is way beyond the traditional response of strike action and has been hugely successful.” Graham will join other trade union leaders virtually at the Trades Union Congress that begins this weekend and is expected to speak on Tuesday. It will come two weeks before Starmer’s first in-person speech since being elected Labour leader in April 2020.
