Jeremy Corbyn is anti zionist. Was viciously Red Scared by state media while running for Prime Minister (President) and then smeared as an anti semite for consistently having empathy for the Palestinians. Is akin to our Bernie if Bernie remembered his spine. Populist left and drew crowds like Bernie. He didn’t back down. Was purged from Labour and then ran independent in his own district and won. So he’s back in Parliament (congress).

In addition to what @Evilphd666@hexbear.net said, it’s worth mentioning that when he was the leader of the Labour party, it was extremely active with the membership. It grew to roughly ~600,000 members, the largest political party in Europe. Their policies were things like nationalising industries, forcing companies to have employee representatives on the boards of directors, and other socialist-leaning things.

But, since the core of Western countries is build on anti-communism, the ruling class could not tolerate that. Corbyn was far too generous and refused to purge the reactionary elements from within Labour, and when he lost the federal election (in no small part due to sabotage from within his own party as well as the baseless smear campaign against him), Kier Starmer - a man who believes in nothing - took over, and then Corbyn was himself purged along with the rest of the left-wing elements within the party.

It should also be noted that Corbyn had a larger share of votes and almost 3 million more raw votes than starmer just swept the country on.
