Jeremy Corbyn's time is up

[butchersapron]

Fair play to him for not giving it any guff about the labour movement being a broad church with many traditions that we have to respect elected govt blah blah

 

[chilango]

Well that puts paid to the notion that they were there to represent solidarity with the syrian people doesn't it - when JM attacks the flag and what it stands for!

As if, he didn't know or see anyway. Those people holding them are there to be visible and they make damn sure they are.

...and those kind of freaks are there every year. With their hammers and sickles and Stalin portraits.

 

[butchersapron]

Yes, he's seen them every year for 40 years. It's the regime flag that's the grit here.

I think that the Stalin portraits are incredible, where else do you see them? Surely even the Stalinists realise how awful they look to everyone?

 

[chilango]

Yes, he's seen them every year for 40 years. It's the regime flag that's the grit here.

...but not a surprising or unanticipated one.

 

[rekil]

Let's get a gigantic crowdfunded PD banner behind him next year then.

 

[Buckaroo]

There is no next year comrade.

 

[chilango]

Another question to ask is what did he, or the Labour Left in general have to gain by appearing at this rally?

 

[rekil]

"Yes Nick Robinson, I spoke in front of a 100 foot high banner depicting Lenin riding a workers bomb and I liked it"

 

[bimble]

They have a quite amazing video on youtube, with some rap, and explaining how Stalin was a feminist and all round good guy.

 

[Mr Moose]

"Yes Nick Robinson, I spoke in front of a 100 foot high banner depicting Lenin riding a workers bomb and I liked it"

And yet the idea that this may negatively affect my chances of become chancellor of a capitalist country just frankly never occurred. But then that's the media for you.

 

[Pickman's model]

Indeed.

And because he chose to that must mean he's dishonest?

He's a politician. Dishonesty is in the jd.

Why is support for a mass murderer even allowed on left protests

Fair points.

So let's go with a comrade inside a giant inflatable workers' bomb costume following McD everywhere he goes between now and Red Button General Election Day.

 

[Artaxerxes]

We can't choose who goes on the fiver sadly.


Stalins body count makes Churchill look like an amateur as well.

Just plain creepy. Those blokes shouldn't be encouraging her to have such a narrow and incomplete world view.

Yeah, someone should do something, shouldn't they...

Then perhaps we should stick him on the fiver.

 

[Doctor Carrot]

Then perhaps we should stick him on the fiver.

I for one would like to see his head floating behind a hammer and sickle on the new pound coin, it would certainly beat that bloody boring thistle on all of them at the moment.

Only "Year Zero".

£20

 

[mojo pixy]

The £50, because it's red

 

[Pickman's model]

Pol Pot on the tenner then
Stalin on the twenty
Mao on the fifty

In years to come you'll be yearning for a thistle to eat. Won't call them bloody boring then, mark my words

Churchill was doing it for the love of the pursuit, rather than the money.

 

[RD2003]

Because such support is an integral part of the history of the left.

 

[RD2003]

Churchill was doing it for the love of the pursuit, rather than the money.

Who killed the most people is actually irrelevant. The attempt to establish 'official' communist rule cost the lives of millions, mostly in China and the territory of the former USSR. Establishing capitalism as a global system cost even more, directly and indirectly, and as the impossibility of continuing down the road we're on unfolds as reality, we will see mass corpses as never before.

 

[RD2003]

Just plain creepy. Those blokes shouldn't be encouraging her to have such a narrow and incomplete world view.

Why not? Other blokes with other ideological hobbyhorses, in other situations, would do the same.

Why does everything seem somehow unreal these days?*


*Or perhaps it's just me.

 

[Andrew Hertford]

You can't by voting for Labour that ousts a vaguely left leader and then shifts to the right. It's been said many times and the answer hasn't changed either.

Replacing a vaguely left leader with someone like Corbyn clearly isn’t working either. That’s been said many times too.

So assuming you agree that a Labour GE win is the only way of stopping the tories and their demolition of essential services, how can it be made to happen? Surely attracting more voters would help!
