To be clear, is it the opinion of this thread that there is not a troubling level of anti-egalitarian and anti-humanist sentiment amongst the UK's Muslim population in particular, and the global Muslim population in general? Or is it that these sentiments aren't troubling or problematic, or are unrelated to the recent events?

The opinion is that you should take your concern trolling and gently caress off as far as humanly possible

So a friend of mine has been talking to me about his political beliefs, and I have questioned him down from a Tory to a libdem.

But while he's starting to see all the problems with capitalism, he's asked the dreaded question, what does a socialist society look like?

The problem being is that I don't know.
Anyone got any good YouTube videos or links to what a good socialist or Communist society looks like?

I basically went something something worker coops something mondragon, I'll get back to you....

If you want to show someone what a "Corbyn" society would look like, ask them to look up scandinavian countries.

hot take time: even in the context of norn iron it was really idiotic for the Leader of the Labour Party to criticise shoot-to-kill, or support shoot-to-kill, or take any stance on shoot-to-kill; the only correct answer is to evade the question and yammer on instead on one's righteous belief in the rule of law (are british vawwues) and the right of all british people to due process in a court of law, which should quite suffice as a wink to your supporters on your stance without giving any bullshit soundbites in an answer to what is by construction a bullshit question.

that come back to haunt you six months later in a way that is entirely foreseeable

you know, and the interviewer knows, that britain has in fact certain obligations on the use of lethal force under the ECHR anyway; you know, and the interviewer knows, that the british people at large don't give a gently caress and want the terrorists dead. there is nothing to be gained in taking the bait. you are not a backbencher any more shut up shut up shut uppppp

Every hot take you have about Corbyn seems to boil down to "This principled man who's always stood for what he believed in and been honest about it should flip-flop on what he believes in and lie about it". Its a bold strategy, but I dont see it winning many votes.

I heard Sweden had been turning into a neoliberal shithole and referring to all Scandinavian countries as equally good examples of social democracy was becoming far less close to reality. As a Norwegian, can you explain exactly how perfidious the Swede really is?

Norway and Denmark both have really horrible right wing racist shithead governments at the moment and are going downhill fast. Norway will almost certainly go back to the good side after the election in a few months, but I don't know enough about the other countries to comment. Norway had a bit of a bad neolib period under the last Labour government on account of the PM citing Blair as an inspiration. Fortunately that cock has moved away from the party and is currently in charge of NATO.
