Resigning From Labour

-
I've seen many aggrieved Jewish comrades across Twitter today in light of Labour's capitulation to so-called whistle-blowers.

The refusal to address the contents of the leaked report and its subsequent media blackout is a damning indictment on the state of this party.

Let's be very clear here - there was/is most definitely a small contingent of anti-semites lurking within the party, this was never in doubt. I'd seen a few examples of it myself; holocaust denial, straight up conflation of Israel with world-controlling Jews, for example. But these instances were few and far between.

The fact that Starmer chose to apologise to and compensate so-called whistleblowers rather than the Jewish comrades whose route to justice was obscenely obstructed by the factionalism and careerism of the aforementioned is troubling to say the least.

Justice would've have been for those implicated to be suspended or expelled from the party and compensation proffered to the Jewish comrades who have suffered at their hands.

Jennie Formby worked a miracle clearing that backlog, a detail that almost none of the commentariat or media picked up on, and was constantly having to play catch-up with numerous disingenuous claims submitted by certain PLP members (over 400 in one case submitted by one person) and a certain Twitter persona.

The frequent omission of the leaked report within "moderate" and "centrist" narratives is a huge clue that those people are unable to come to terms with the fact that the party machinery chose to weaponise racism as a means to obtain power for themselves and thus to maintain capitalism.

Today, I resigned my membership of the party.

We must find a new way.

The Liberal Establisment's Construction Of A Cult

You've all heard it before - "Corbynism is a CULT!", "The cult of Corbyn strikes again!". We've all been called cultists, zealots or acolytes at some point. It's a boorish and trite accusation that has followed mass political movements for change throughout history. I want to explore where these accusations come from and why they are made, and hopefully dismantle the narrative well enough for others to be able to defend themselves in the face of these ridiculous claims.   Back in 2015, a certain back-bencher with 30 years of experience behind him was nominated in the Labour Party leadership contest after Ed Miliband's disastrous result in the general election. The aforementioned back-bencher was nominated purely on a diversity ticket, a crusty old "Bennite" socialist, a dinosaur living out of his time in the modern land of Blair's Third Way politics. That backbencher was Jeremy Corbyn. He was nominated simply to maintain the illusion th

The Spectre of Republicanism

A spectre is haunting the UK, the spectre of republicanism, and to a lesser extent, communism. Recently, everyone's favourite producer of benighted drollery, Nigel Farage, said this: " If we destroy the monarchy then we destroy something special about our country. Harry and Meghan are doing their very best to make that become a reality. " - Tweet link Come on, Nige, what's special about the monarchy?  It's an anachronistic aberration that institutionalises its members by keeping them inured to centuries-old feudal dogma under the guise of "tradition" and "convention". The sort of traditions and conventions that actively negate any semblance of humanity that a royal might otherwise, albeit "accidentally", express. They are stripped of all of the qualities that we usually consider human and instead are compelled to live a strict and rigid life guided by incommunicable, nonsensical rules that were written the best part of a millennia ago

Why Farage And His Ilk Hate Britain

-

A while ago I posted a video on my page which, I didn't realise at the time, was actually cut from a Labour election video from 2019. I didn't know this because all the pro-Labour bits had been pruned from the video. This is by the by, though, and not really the point of this article.  Whilst most comments and shares praised the content of the video, there were a couple that I found amusing until I further considered the implications. One read "Utter Marxist bollox", the other "We need UKIP as there [ sic ] for England". These attitudes are unfortunately by no means uncommon and are representative of our modern and highly polarised political spirit. So what is it that has turned people to this position? "Marxist bollox"? Most of those reading this will have a good idea of what Marxism actually is and how it is rhetorised by figures such as Farage to mean something else. But let's cover those points anyway. Firstly and basically, what is Marxism
