Azza Bamboo posted:They mean when the internet was all about business opportunity and the common person had to shut up and digest the papes because the dream of owning a ferrari, flying concorde, and being invited to the executive lounge where suited men smoked cigars on their buttoned green leather chairs lit by brass lanterns hanging over oil paintings on the wall was real. Normal as in when you could tell people that they were going to have a house, a car, a safety net to support them, and they'd be able to do it with less tax and less regulation because the internet is real. Normal as in a time before we had to hear about austerity, poverty, the local effects of international conflict, where we could just throw out our hands and Actually, the song is Things Can Only Get Better

Huw, come on the pod Firos posted:My partner wrote a blogpost about what a Labour government would mean to the disabled, and it'd be cool if you could all have a look. This was spot on and pass on, if she’s happy for it we can get it retweeted from the pod account?

Evening folks! As most of you should be aware by now, the podcast crew is running an alternative election night stream so you don't feel like you're alone in laughing at Laura K as her world dissolves around her. The details are in the OP, but it'll be at http://twitch.tv/praxiscast from 21:30 on Thursday night until either we're content we know how it's going, or nobody is sober enough to continue the stream. TONIGHT at 8 there will be a meeting about the livestream to try and gauge how many people we'll have on, plan out some stuff and take ideas from any of you that might want to get involved, so join us on the discord (link in OP) from 8! BONUS We'll also be doing a watchalong of Labour: The Summer That Changed Everything aka, The melts kick themselves in the dicks repeatedly. Join us!

Polls are not necessarily truth. If you’re still up and game for it, join us on twitch at http://twitch.tv/praxiscast, where the coverage isn’t blackpilled and we’re keeping the hope alive. We’re all together in this, and hope is never dead. Solidarity forever, comrades.

Hi everyone! Sorry for the absence, I took a bit of time off from politics after the election because it's shite and i hate it, and then it turned into christmas etc, but I should be back itt properly just after the new year. We've got a dumb and fun podcast episode planned (hopefully releasing on Wednesday if i've got the time, otherwise later this week if all goes to plan tomorrow) and then another little 2019 awards show. Once that's all done, it should be back to regular pod episodes

Darth Walrus posted:Nationalism is simply prioritising the interests of your nation - or, to put it another way, the people you are responsible for as a national government. In a democratic society, it's simply a sales pitch that your policies will make your society better. If we cede that basic concept to far-right blood-and-soil psychos, then we've definitely lost. We're also probably going to lobby much more aggressively for British interests after Brexit, on the grounds that our international protections will be gone and a lot of foreign vultures (America, China, our old friends in the EU, you name it) will be coming for us. The next Labour government, if it can be elected, will have a much greater duty of care in a much more hostile world. I’m pretty sure you’ve confused duty of care and responsibility of a political party in a system of the nation state with a political ideology which functions based on the othering of another group based on an arbitrary trait.

baka kaba posted:good to see you back buddy Miwk is eternal. Darth Walrus posted:Othering is simply how the right pretends it is maintaining its duty of care to its citizens - by treating foreigners even worse than it treats them. Again, the idea that nationalism is racism depends on the ugly notion that racism helps your citizenry, while equality and social justice hurts them. Equality is not a zero-sum game, no matter what the weird TERF in my CLP says. No, the entire basis of the nation state in itself is a form of othering. That arbitrary trait doesn’t need to be a racial or religious characteristic, living on the wrong side of a map line is enough to say “you don’t deserve good things” if you’re trying to keep the blood and soil out of it (good luck maintaining that for long). radmonger posted:Well, you could use the word patriotism for the former and nationalism for the latter. If instead you use patriotism for the latter, do you even have a word left to describe the thing you do want? Both of them are, on a functional level to individual people, pride in belonging to a nationstate. You can pick apart the subtle differences academically and say “well actually”, but if the functional practices of them on the electorate are the same then it’s dumb as gently caress to try and co-opt them. What I want is socialism, what you’re wanting is a cure for those brain worms you’ve spent all year vomiting through the thread.

OwlFancier posted:I am willing to see where RLB goes with it but she's going to need other ideas than just corbynism with millibandian characteristics. It’s the slide towards blue labour that the language risks that worries me the most. Azza Bamboo posted:Let's get down to the nitty gritty of a winning strategy then. Who do we need to turn and where to make up the seats for a parliament? The Tories got it spot on with their laser focus on "Workington Man" and Labour Leave seats. Surely given our huge defeat we now have a wide choice of battlegrounds and demographics to target and actually work on. The next election is five years away, there’s no point thinking along the lines of tactical electoralism just now, what’s required is extra parliamentary work setting up a labour presence that’s visible and involved in communities across the country to build up a trust base that’s directly involved in people’s lives. That’ll do way more than triangulating the racism prism.

It’s not as hopeless as all that unless we’re intent on only engaging with parliament and nothing else. Community activism and interaction is going to be a key element over the next five years, and with the right framing could lead to a massive victory. Exposing people to effective left wing policy works, and the only way we can do this is outside of the electoral system. The fragmentation of the left has been less of an issue the last few years, and a lot of extraparliamentary groups have been willing to work with labour and for a labour victory, if the leadership election goes well, I don’t see that collapsing, so we still have a large base to work with.
