I joined the Labour Party...

Why? Don't tell me, you're going to change it from within..? And to think everyone (quite rightly) took the piss when articul8 kept coming out with that bollocks. :rolleyes:
I joined as I think Corbyn is a decent bloke who is a committed socialist. I want to support him to achieve some positive change. A solid programme of council house building, no tuition fees for our kids, this would in itself be enough for me to make this tangent worth it.

I also want to make the life of our local MP a bit harder, deselect her. Replace her with er a socialist.

I'm too old to fight the police any more. Frankly, we have never had any wins.

I want a few wins before I drop dead.

Depends on what you mean by from within. Trying to get anything done within the LP as it has been clearly isn't going anywhere. But I really do want to know what happens when a fuck load of people who don't want Blairite bollocks join en mass.
 
dunno really.

many labour members / activists (as the recent result has shown) are to the left of the parliamentary party - although in some areas, the blairites now outnumber the more 'traditional' labour types.

it's a bit unclear just what power JC is going to give to local parties - he's said there won't be mass re-selection votes. May be more chance of influencing future candidates in a seat that doesn't currently have a labour MP.

although just how blairite MPs will react if the 'sod off' message from their CLP is loud enough remains to be seen.

not sure that many CLPs are big enough to have meetings at ward level any more.

Take up bowls mate, the LP will not lead to self-actualisation just misery and humiliation. To be honest I went to pay my £3 but wasn't registered to vote so it didn't count. I was motivated by fucking off the Blairites rather than belief in our bearded messiah to affect change.
 
tbh it looks like there's still plenty of opportunity to fuck the blairites off even more now, if that's the limits of your ambition.
 
christ, it isn't banter. we aren't cunts.

They had Blair himself down at my CLP.. It would be great to cunt him off in the style I have developed so well over the years.

I don't expect my comrades to forgive me over this, maybe understand but that's it. No twelve pints down the book fair this year.

I'm not going to fall out with you over it. I think it's a mistake and one way to guarantee personal defeats - if you start giving it labour propaganda though :mad:

Plenty comrades went this way in the early 80s.

To be fair my comrades of decades are keeping their comments to themselves on the whole. I expected more abuse but have not got it. I got involved with Class War because it enabled me to express my class hatred well.
Never too much into anarchist theory. Strong trade union background. Labour movement parents. Not too much of a jump. Well maybe it is. Can't see me coming out with LP propaganda any time soon.

I just want to support Jeremy Corbyn and miserise the lives of the right wing cunts who successfully infested the LP for decades.

I won't delude myself. If it all goes tits up then we can examine it here honestly and openly.
 
Trying not to do this via the medium of song lyric... Did they stay or... what happened to them?
Most went onto the anarchist federation and class war after realising they were wasting their time ;)

Some excellent posters on here may take the time to tell why they did after decades of anarchist activity and what they think about it now. Loads on here...speak up!
