How left wing is this forum?

Oh nose, we've failed your ideology test. Who are you again?

Some are born to fail.
Eugenics could sort that out (not that I'm a fan)

If you're not fan, why bring it up?

 

[platinumsage]

Judging by reactions on here to the pandemic, if there was an actual revolution with actual people being strung from actual lampposts, this forum would be full of people clamouring for Lieutenant-General Urch to deploy enough troops to enable orderly queueing outside Sainsbury’s. So about as left wing as Tony Benn.

Oh no, we've disappointed Bollox

Weren’t you the one arguing that Corbyn should have been replaced with someone more acceptable to capital last week? Bizarre. Are you Paul Mason?

No

Judging by the title of a PM received from Mr Bollox, I have an inkling that I may have particularly disappointed him/her?



30 odd posts into their membership of the boards they don't seem very happy with what they've found?

But that's exactly what happened with the polling surge. Find your line on this pretty odd.

The surge was never enough. It's easy to win over people who will readily support any left-wing leader, but to win over the additional people sufficient to actually win an election, you need to be able to convince them to move out of their comfort zone. Putting forward cogent arguments is always a good start.

But no, let's just blame the press and right-wingers in the Labour party. Eliminating both of those would have surely ensured his victory.

It's weird that you think someone who can "put forward cogent arguments" means someone who is "more acceptable to capital". The only specific person I named as an example capable of such was Michael Foot, so that makes it even more weird.

 

[Bahnhof Strasse]

well, I've prayed for the plagues of biblical egypt to strike thier houses, so we'll just have to see who god listens to.

Yeah, fucking nice one Dotty

You said a bit more than that, which we can return to. But let’s focus on the quote you’ve chosen. On one hand U75 is condemned by you for its failure to move beyond Bennism. Reformists. On the other, you posit Michael Foot as a left leader of value. A man who popularised left ideas and from whom we can learn. Can you see any problems here?

Why do you keep making stuff up that you wish I had said? I didn't "condemn U75 for its failure to move beyond Bennism" did I? I just said it was about as left-wing as Benn, which considering the range of people on here, seems about right to me.

Yet on the thirteenth of March we were three cat memes from full communism.

Are you a Richard Dawkins fanboy by any chance? He was wrong, eugenics doesn't work.

Cryptically, he called me a cunt for outing his trolling.



Something seems to have him/her mildly piqued!

 

[DotCommunist]

Yeah, fucking nice one Dotty

turns out when god does requests he does them in a sly manner like some trickster god. Ok so I didn't specify that the plague on their houses had to be lethal but surely thats implied, yet BJ still walks among us. And did I need to say 'just their houses and no-one else'? apparently I did. Mysterious ways my arse, I'd get a better result from Zoltar

 

[Bollox]

Count C, I agree in part with some of his idea, but at the end of the day it all starts with the Genes....

You say nuture - I say Nature - lets call the whole thing off (its both of course)

 

[kropotkin]

Stop saying it's nature then?

 

[mod]

ive become more left wing over the last couple of decades. Probably in part due to U75.

And at 45.....I feel young (which is nice). That last bit isn't very relevant,

 

[DexterTCN]

U75 was certainly majorly to the left when I joined in 2004, during the fury of the Iraq war.

Not so much now.

Now it's much more bellingcat.

[Shechemite]

and the odd anarchist.

I think they prefer to be called charming eccentrics here
