The further we get into Dunt's past the more we're going to find out that his dad worked as a "diplomat" and his Guatemalan mother's maiden name was Hilda Luftwaffe.

I don't like the rhetoric, but if you look at the actual policy proposals they are about getting rid of means tests, which seems good. If they're trying to use National Insurance arguments to restore Universality, I'll wince a bit but I'll take it.

Thing I've come to really hate is when you criticize the BBC you invariably get some liberal twat saying " Careful, or the tories will privatise it and then there will be nothing to fight the tories".

The tories don't want to privatise the BBC. They've put conservatives in every seat of power within it both on screen and off and driven out everyone vaguely leftwing out. It's like the NHS to them, something to be hollowed out and direct massive flows of cash going to their privatised mates.

These people will never reckon with the simple truth that the BNP got absorbed into UKIP and they were fine with UKIP because it was headed up by the upper class. Nor that UKIP was absorbed into the Tory party right after.

Lot of people pointing it out on twitter, the nazi salutes at war memorials make perfect sense when you realise that War memorials have become Nationalist symbols, Churchill has become the nationalist avatar and the Seig Heil has become the nationalist salute. It's all perfectly consistent with their own logic. Like how Americans can fly the confederate flag along side their stars and stripes.

Ok I was being far too lenient with the media. They’re just corrupt as gently caress. Still think it’s weird that the guardian is doing its best to not upset the far right. I know they’re neoliberal but I’m not sure what they get out of this. None of their 20 readers are far right.

The Guardian spent four years screeching against the Labour party the second it wasn't controlled by the right wing of the party. They only serve to demand more women guards at the racism factory.

I can only assume theres some overly cautious legal dept thinking these things up. To you and me an Anti-racist critic is a racist, but straight up calling then racists probably opens you up for legal action. A legal action that these fash would love to have.

Had a quick listen to the podcast and I wonder if it was recorded before the antisemitism report leak because Forde talks about antisemitism as if it's obviously Corbyn at fault.

lol Matt Forde is the one who blocks you if you call Tony Blair a war criminal, aye?

Change UK did what it was supposed to. Labour never recovered from the split when a bunch of people publicly said they were leaving Labour, left, realised it was cold outside but were too proud to ask to come back in. They all trickled into the Lib Dems or just dropped the act and voted tory.

The inside track on why Capital wants to go to space as broke by pop star Azalia Banks on the Anti-Paedophile podcast Trueanon hosted by Pisspiggrandad is that Elon Musk wants to populate Mars with his genetically engineered Cyborg babies, which he told her while high on mushrooms and trying to arrange a three way between him, Azalia and his wife Grimes.

That's why Musk is spending the GDP of small African countries to barely achieve what the Soviets did sixty years ago. To fill Mars with South African gently caress wits of his own design.

The point of course is that material conditions are far from revolutionary

I am quite open to arguments in the vein of "actually, they will become revolutionary" but strong claims require strong evidence and so on. Note that "headlines are really bad" does not qualify - they have to be bad in the specifically immiseration-thesis way, with overaccumulation of productive capital amidst falling profit

Really, anyway, it is more than a century since the Bolsheviks. From a strongly historical-materialist point of view - that denies shifts in the culture, zeitgeist, and intellectual inheritance as explanatory - the simple challenge for the antirevisionist orthodox-Marx theorist is just sitting down to explain why arguments by previous generations of writers for imminent social revolution amidst clear social unrest were erroneous in 1968 and erroneous again in the late 1980s before coming to the conclusion that 2020 represents the true revolutionary condition. Since, after all, one must point to statics in the social relations in the means of production. What statics are those?

It's kind of scary to see 65000 deaths just go into the memory hole like this. We had one of the worst responses in the world and it's just being ignored and forgotten in favour of pretending we didn't absolutely gently caress it. Nae accountability, just going down as One of those things. A wee shrug and Oh well. And the government's response is to act as if they hadn't completely hosed it and if they hadn't completely hosed it then they'd be opening the pubs by now, which is what they're doing so they can't have completely hosed it.

It's just another eye opening event in a series of eye opening events. They Tories can gently caress up a plague at every stage and still be loved by at least 40% of the country. At this stage Boris could be filmed shagging a wee dug and it's only dip the tories to 39% and a bunch of blueticks would shag a staffie in support.
