  1. Turnips Pickled But it’s not worth it if we become worse off and if every reason for wanting to leave is nullified. Winning the election would have given Corbyn the power to reign in the blairites and set out his agenda.

  2. Turnips Pickled What does a tory brexit actually accomplish though? Will they really implement anything that you wanted from brexit?

  3. Turnips Pickled I can imagine a tory-style group writing legislation on our behalf whom we could never vote out, that’s what we’ve got now. I live in Glasgow and all I can see is that I’ve traded one group of foreign bureaucratic elites for another. What’s the point in replacing the elites in Brussels with the elites in Westminster? Im honesty open to being convinced otherwise but why should I want a tory brexit?

  4. Adam Powell The so called socialist now reveals that he dislikes Tony Benn.

  5. Adam Powell Corbyn was not a remainer, he was a democrat and so campaigned for what the party membership wanted, both in 2016 and 2019.

  6. Turnips Pickled The system to elect MEP’s is better than our system to elect MP’s. Yes the council isn’t elected but my country didn’t elect Johnson either and none of us voted for Cummings. At least the EU admits that their government isn’t elected, we just pretend to be democratic.

  7. Turnips Pickled Corbyn simply did what the membership asked him to carry out. Although I’m happy that labour now has a mass left wing membership, they are the ones who should be criticised for their decision (among other decisions like backing Starmer).

  8. paul battenbough You do realise the EU has given no help to Italy right? I swear you europhiles just love to make shit up. You’d think we’re living in a utopia with all the times European bureaucrats have supposedly saved the world.

  9. Hei Shehui Ok tough guy

  10. What, with austerity harsher than the tories that the blairites boasted about?
    1
  11. Arcarsenal Yeah that’s what I’m saying, having his lackey Gordon brown in power would’ve have led to the same situation we’re in now.
    1
  12. Well it would have to be more of a revolution than just a war between capitalists.
    1
  13. TheMystery Gamer And how’s that worked over the last century? You’re very mistaken if you think the ruling class does not kill people on the streets. All political and systematic change in human history has been the result of violent revolution, it is the only way to overthrow capitalism. Why should we stand being literally beaten down by our rulers and not fight back?

  14. Insights Fortunately I think most of the working class hates thatcher. Don’t know what the American workers feel about Reagan though.

  15. Fred Fredrickson Pretty sure I interpreted your comment right. Don’t really use the word fluff much though so enlighten me on what you meant.

  16. Fred Fredrickson Tried that already

  17. Free Trade Oreder Patriot Yeah let’s literally destroy the planet, as long as the economy isn’t damaged.

  18. Can anybody tell me what movie that Malcolm x footage is from?

  19. Debi Dacres Many thanks

  20. John McCann Scotland obviously. It’s not irrelevant if Blair is still the main reason why people don’t trust labour.

  21. Jim Stirling The SNP get off far lighter with the media than Corbyn did. They don’t even mention their support for austerity.

  22. julian shepherd What’s the opposite of the truth? The fact that labour was in decline and was completely smashed in Scotland by 2015 before beginning to make a comeback under Corbyn in 2017?
    1
  23. julian shepherd Yeah, I’m a Marxist from a Jewish background and have been called anti Semitic by members of my own party many times.
    1
  24. julian shepherd Nepotism, corruption, infighting and incompetence were the core values of new labour though, it was their project that led to that situation.
    1
  25. julian shepherd Labour was complicit in austerity until Corbyn and Leonard took over respectively. They’re still councillors who back it but Matt Kerr and others have fought against it. I’m not talking about the tory austerity forced onto us, I’m talking about the SNP’s own programmes that say they’ll implement more of their own austerity.
    1
  26. julian shepherd They went from 1 to 7 Westminster Scottish seats in 2017 and the membership doubled after Corbyn was elected.
    1
  27. julian shepherd No offence but if you live in what I’m assuming is a tory constituency then I can understand why labour didn’t do much campaigning. They need to focus on the SNP up here.
    1
  28. julian shepherd You’re right, labour isn’t united and the Blairite faction is very corrupt but the Alex salmond issue isn’t painting a pretty picture of SNP internal politics either.
    1
  29. julian shepherd That’s the point though, not that I agree with them but Salmonds people are saying that sturgeon was politically motivated to get rid of him and it looks like he’ll go on the offensive now he’s cleared. Is sturgeon really more left wing than salmond? I know that back in the day he tried to make the SNP into a dedicated socialist party but things could have changed since.

  30. julian shepherd Scottish Labour had 8000-13000 members in 2014, increasing to 30000 after Corbyn was elected UK Leader.
    1
  31. julian shepherd I don’t think labour really attacks sturgeon that much. They’ll probably start now though since there’s no longer any meaningful political difference between them apart from independence.
    1
  32. julian shepherd You’re not defending the tory government by attacking the SNP, you’re attacking a party carrying out policies identical to tory policies that kill people.
    1
  33. julian shepherd If labour wasn’t in the House of Lords there would be no opposition party in the House of Lords although most labour lords are dogshit and I was disappointed that abolishing the lords wasn’t more of a concrete plan in the manifesto.
    1
  34. julian shepherd Maybe actually look into the numbers you’re lifting off Wikipedia before claiming I’m the one with made up figures. You’re using the figures from before and after Richard Leonard was elected, I’m looking at the figures from before and after Corbyn was elected.
    1
  35. julian shepherd That’s just embarrassing, what did I even do to trigger you?
    1
  36. julian shepherd And by the way I’m not defending labour as a whole I’m defending Corbyn’s labour which actually stood up to imperialism unlike the SNP or the greens.
    1
  37. julian shepherd No, the blairites changed labours policies without permission, Corbyn was democratically elected by a majority of Scottish members to change the policies back to what we wanted. You’re an idiot if you think what Ireland has had to face is even comparable to what we’ve seen in Scotland. We stood side by side with England in the empire and helped with the oppression of other countries, including Ireland. Corbyn wanted us to decide whether or not we should become independent, would you prefer it if we didn’t have a choice?

  38. rebel 777 Yeah, just carry on ranting. Christians are accepted in Arab countries while they’re massacred in ‘Israel’ but I guess that doesn’t fit your narrative.
    1
  39.  @davidmontgomery9846  I don’t think you understand the point here. Putin is the same as our imperialist governments, that doesn’t mean we need to stop America, it means the people of each country need to rise up and take power without interference from foreign powers who make it worse every single time.

  40. PureWrist 😂😂😂well you pricks clearly don’t have a clue about the Russian revolution so maybe that’s a good idea.

  41. HolyCannoli Yeah Wall Street just loves communist revolutions, it’s not like they spent 70 years throwing everything they had into overthrowing the USSR.
    1
  42. HolyCannoli You’re the only one claiming anything and it’s something so crazy that it was literally used as nazi propaganda.
    1
  43. HolyCannoli I’m literally Russian, my family fought in the revolution and the only people receiving Wall Street money were the dozen imperial countries who tried to kill the revolution. Weird that you can’t provide any sources whatsoever but that’s to be expected from nazis.

  44. HolyCannoli As usual dodging my points, obviously being Russian makes me an authority on Russia🤦‍♂️ still waiting for your evidence by the way...

  45. HolyCannoli You’re pathetic, stop embarrassing yourself and either shit up or provide your non existent evidence.

  46. Syklone Pensions have increased year on year despite the cuts to every other aspect of life. The tories are protecting the elderly because they keep them in power.

  47. Karen Jenny He won’t leave labour and the media have completely destroyed his reputation. We don’t need figureheads, socialism is not Corbyn. I love the guy but we can’t get anything done if we continue to imagine him as our leader.

  48. Aesop's Hair Very good point. We should point out though that even if we had universal participation, proportional representation and money out of politics we’d still not truly have a democracy. The only true democracy is a workers one that also reaches into the workplace.
