"Don't be fooled, fascism shut the government down?"

Or

"Don't be fooled BY fascism, shut the government down?"

All I'm saying is that rates of autism have increased alongside the amount of carbon in the atmosphere.

So if, for some odd reason, you want to reduce the number of autistic people the smart move would be to work to reduce the amount of carbon in the atmosphere as much as possible.

I just want to say that I never really thought Corbyn was a great guy, even when I joined Labour specifically to defend him, because he promised mandatory selection & a members-based party

He failed to deliver it then & has spent the past 5 years continuing to fail to deliver it

Even though she may have scammed me out of 55 quid, and though I disagree with her on One Member One Vote, I still welcome the shitshow that Zarah Sultana has caused by revealing the conflict at the top of "Your Party"

YouTube video by The Social Housing Action Campaign SHAC on BBC Radio - London Housing Development

Thx @bbclondon.bsky.social for inviting SHAC to comment on a flawed @homebuildersfed.bsky.social report that urges cutting social housing targets. Actually, social housing should be funded through full council grant - it's more effective & pays for itself.

I've been active on the Left for around 20 years now, if that's what you mean

Banning certain types of socialists from a supposedly socialist party is not a good look, I'm sure you agree

Who gets to decide which kinds of socialists are the right ones?

The unelected leaders of "We Are Collective"?

Trade Unions took the lead in fighting fascism in Spain in the 1930s. Trade Unions must take the lead now in Britain.
Get your union branch to put money towards training up an army of well-trained Stewards for anti-far-right protests.

All the Marxist groups should be allowed to join "Your Party" & operate effectively as open factions. Those with the most correct perspectives, as deemed by the mass working class membership, will be elected to lead. This requires freedom of criticism.

If you have substantive criticisms of the Socialist Party's theories or actions, please let me know what they are so that I can either respond or else be convinced by you

If you just make vague claims about how all "sects" are the same, then you are not in fact making a critique

I was trying to post a video of me talking about politics every morning & one of me playing music every evening

So much nicer to do it the other way around & start the day with music instead of trying to think of things to say about news I've just half-read while only half awake

Thanks for admitting you were wrong for showing footage of far right protesters as if they were anti-far right

It would be better to take down the post however

A more appropriate comment would be "the UK is under attack by the far right, funded by Americans, solidarity to the victims in the UK"

You are not showing any clips of the counter protest. All those people waving the flags are SUPPORTING Tommy Robinson.

I wish it was not the case but it is. The counter demo was only 5000 people against 110000.

This is actually terrible footage you are mistakenly celebrating for some reason

Daniel De Leon died over a hundred years ago, so I'm not surprised he didn't pick up

The TUC has voted unanimously to "immediately end all arms trade and military collaboration with Israel in line with international law"

And "repeal the authoritarian proscription of Palestine Action under counter-terrorism laws and uphold and strengthen the right to peaceful protest"

The working class is the majority of society, even if a lot of them are in denial about their true class position

If the Labour Party wants to represent other classes they should change their name & stop describing themselves officially as a democratic socialist party

Maybe "The Capitalist Party"?
