How useful would a rail network like that be in the US? I live in the UK where even our admittedly shit one is a godsend, but the US is fucking massive. Would it make sense to have a coast-to-coast railway?

Do you have info on anything specific? I’m on the Discord but haven’t been following too closely.

That’s true - trains are cheaper. The benefit of them I guess is that flying has like 2-3hrs of faffing before and after the flight, but trains just sort of run.

On another note, if wanting to half travel time in the UK makes me a trainologist then I am ready for that mad puss

Careful, spez might ban us

Oh wait

I’m torn between wanting to cut up my membership card and knowing i should fight from within. if this cryptotory scum becomes pm it’ll be ten more years of blair

Last time Labour had a decent leader was Harold Wilson. The army planned two coups against him. It’s a fucking miracle how close Corbyn came to winning given the press barons and internal party sabotage.

That was his major mistake. If they’re gonna call it a stalinist purge you might has well do it. The next wave of democratic left leaders won’t make excuses for the libs.

Gotta disagree there. The only good things in this godforsaken country came from Attlee and Wilson. The only real chance to oppose British neoliberalism has to be through Labour, unfortunately.

I still want to participate because I know there’s hope. the CLPs do a lot of good, hell, there’s a guy in mine that hands out the Communist Manifesto to newcomers.

That’s absolutely true. I know a lot of people who focus exclusively on electoralism. I’m happy to use it pragmatically for harm reduction and shifting the Overton Window.
