i think the mistake people are making is assuming that britain is "a country" or a "nation state" anymore. it isn't. it is a bunch of land that surrounds london, and london itself is not a city, it is a gigantic washing machine for billions of dollars of blood money that flows into it from gulf states and various oligarchs and organized crime groups all around the world. it is a ghost land where ghost acts stand in for real change. brexit, like the gulf war, did not really happen. this is why i am struggling to engage with the labour leadership race - until they recognize these facts about "the united kingdom", there is no hope.

Dance Officer posted:Lol okay boomer bless your heart, you still think like it is 2016, memes and all i refer you to courageous investigative journalist roberto saviano and other brilliant economists, who have long since concluded that the only reason london exists - and by extension the rest of the uk - is because it is kept afloat on an ocean of illegal profits funnelled through The City. saviano is not a man given to drama, yet he has said the UK is the single most corrupt country on earth. very sad, but very important to swallow these difficult truths about our rainy fascist shithole. gh0stpinballa has issued a correction as of 01:13 on Feb 2, 2020 |

remember when the boy said ulysses was his favourite book and the press took this as a diabolical outrage against workington man, who loves the simple things in life like drinking warm lager and beating his wife with a bag of sports direct footwear, no time for that student union "reading" nonsense

forkboy84 posted:Look at this scrub who doesn't know there's been no CPGB since 1991. There's the CPB who are at the anti-Eurocommunist spit from the CPGB, the CPGB-ML which is the weird Harpal Brar offshoot from Socialist Labour (which was an offshoot of Labour lead by Scargill) who are defenders of Hoxha such is their dedication to anti-revisionism, the CPGB (PCC) who Ken Livingstone accused of being M15 agents which was an offshoot of the NCP & are some sort of not-quite Trots who maybe are? And then the RCPB (ML) who are also Hoxha defenders. who should i vote for? i fancy some hoxha action, should i go cpgb-ml

nothing matters and they are untouchable. the only way they're ever leaving government now is if they choose to. we're effectively a one party state with MI5's man leading controlled opposition.

Communist Thoughts posted:i do think the left in the UK should just shut the gently caress up about israel. its like the most obvious trap every time and nobody else in the whole country has any idea what we're on about. replace israel with trans rights or syria or BLM and you could argue the same thing. i think "don't talk about X because people don't understand it" is goofy. also in your view shoul palestinian brits also "shut the gently caress up" about israel? i'd like to hear some communist thoughts on this.

the leftists still involved in labour should split and form their own party. labour effectively functions as a sealed container for left wing politics now which i suspect all your enemies are happy with. and the constant in-fighting and breathless seeking out of the terrible opinions of right wing CLP and PLP people just makes you look loving weird and insufferable. it's very alienating.
