Collective - new left wing party?

[Jeremiah18.17]

This thread is a near perfect example of Urban’s decline. No serious analysis, no suggestion of alternative strategies, the shallowest of critiques from ageing, bitter, burnt out, despairing “resting” “socialists” & “anarchists”, punctuated by the bad faith interventions of Blairite scum who are now an indulged part of the Urban furniture.
Pale, male, stale and old.

Meanwhile, a good part of what today passes for the “left” in UK & particularly the US have become dictator apologists of the most craven and blatant form, whilst others are only woken from their retirement slumbers when there is a suggestion that one of the objects of their recent personality-cult monomania might be coming to save them.

All this whilst the planet burns, the working class in even the “rich West” struggle for survival in largely ununionised penury, and the Fash plan their future coups & camps quite openly.

Just have a word with yourselves.

Elsewhere, this is the level of nonsense politics some former “Corbynites” have descended to, on a level with the apolitical folk you might encounter in local community campaigns who would see the first move any campaign should take would be to “write to the Queen” about whatever local environmental, planning or housing issue you were engaged in.

Not sure why you think that people putting more effort into posting on a thread started by a Blairite about a clearly dead-end project would improve any of this?

I think that good awful purple box is one for your font thread though.

Pale, male, stale and old.

Forums and messageboards all around, really. There is exhaustion at the idea of yet another party being launched in the white heat of an election defeat.

I thought it might be a bit too mean to add that, but yes, you're exactly right, I think that the lack of serious analysis of their Wordart choice there is a perfect example of Urban's decline.

no suggestion of alternative strategies,

Not true. I suggested the adoption of the 1970’s industrial strategy of the CPGB a few weeks ago…

 

[AnnO'Neemus]

If you heard the phrase "Justice Collective" with no context, what would you assume it was? I reckon either paedohunting vigilantes or second-rate house act.

Sounds a bit Judge Dredd-y.

You forgot to mention Left Unity and the Independent Labour Network. It was the IWCA, by the way, which had nothing to do with Village People.
There was also the Breakthrough Party.

I would vote for the Village People.
