I considered it when the report about internal sabotage got leaked as well. What convinced me was one sniveling comment on Twitter by some Blairite saying they hoped we all left. It reminded me that we can actually take control of the party again. These are terrible setbacks, but this just shows how much progress we’ve made in the last five years. Save for something monumental and unforseen, Labour is still the only chance Britain has of socialism, so I’ll play the electoralism game.

Thanks for the link. I know a Corbynite government wouldn’t have solved all our problems, but the five years of opposition we got from him moved socialism back into the political limelight. Even if harm reduction and shifting the Overton Window is the most electoralism can do, I think it’s worth somewhat supporting for that, but I can absolutely see why you’d think differently.

Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember… we’re all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
