Corbyn Suspended by Labour Over Discrimination Report

[downnola]

Corbyn did not do anything listed in those bulletpoints. Although its true this was pretty much a witch hunt against him.

Corbyn's reaction to members of his party doing the things that were listed is why they suspended him. He basically acted like it was all a fabrication or exaggerated. I don't think the guy is anti semitic and think he's facing disingenuous concern trolling from right-wingers, but his failure to make an example out of anti-semites in his own party shows that he's not a good leader.

Because it was all bullshit. His reaction was justified. It was obvious to anybody who is not a blairite that they wanted to get rid of him at all cost.

And that, is the issue. He didn't do enough. Because he's not a good leader for the Labour Party. Because the Labour Party has been fragmented for years. That said, he went off and created a Socialist Party that was entirely united, things would be probably quite different from a leadership perspective.

Man, and here I thought you hated bigots even if they shared your world view.

The horseshoe continues.

The horseshoe is bullshit because Corbyn is not a bigot. But somehow these sort of smears are okay if they are aimed at anybody left of centre, strange how that works.

Is it so hard to oppose left wing policies without coming with lies, or do you hate coming up with excuses to keep the poor poor

neoliberalism is the only feasible pathway for liberals to win
moving left always hurts us., i actually agree wtih corbyn on alot of the woke stuff, but his problematic stances on israel and foreign policy, not so woke, clear loser.

I see it as Corbyn and his generation being stuck on a worldview from their heydays. Leftism needs to stop romanticising Castro or Arafat.

La Revolution needed to combat colonial or monarchist powers just doesnt fucking apply modern multiethnic democracies.

Can you actually name any problems that are not made up bullshit.

That was already provided in the report.

That is because labour is not supposed to be a liberal party, but a leftwing one. You got the lib dems, why do you insist on changing labour parties across the world into rightwing, elite supporting,piles of crap

im not sure what this means because its quite reductionist but its the same anti-capitalist struggle.

whats the point of running on the same platform as tories?

[astreller9]

this is just a reaction to the guy who gave a speech in HP against Israel. So disgusting they support this country. I don't care what religion they are they are political criminals!

I disagree. The biggest issue facing Labour is a lack of any actual substantive policy platform. They’re just ‘the opposition’. Boris isn’t hated enough for that to work.

All of the piss and vinegar has gone out of the British left, or so I've heard.

[Milchshake]

Case in point, the DSA is basically hung up on romanticising Corbyn.

Solidarity with Jeremy Corbyn. Thank you for always being a champion for the international working class.

They wont endorse anyone for president. But they will take the time to stan some dude that's out.

It's edgelord chic over policy.

[Milchshake]

Wait there is a socialist running for president?

No, but there is basically a Nazi on the ballet.

• Real socialists would do everything to defeat a Nazi. See the Revolutionary Communist Party USA , Angela Davis, etc. endorsing Biden.
• Cosplay Socialists of Park Slope, sitting on their hands.

Do we live in some weird world where socialism isn't...like...an economic system?

"Real socialists" wouldn't have years of open hostility towards the left, too. So go on, please tell us what "real socialists" would do...

[Graeham]

I wonder how many of the people arguing here about this actually live in the UK?

So its like every single US election since the southren strategy

[Milchshake]

The second biden wins you put down you go back to not caring right?

Based projection there. You get it on loan from your Trumpist friend?

Firstly, there's about 90 days between "Biden winning" and Biden assuming the office of president. So everyone is going to have to be very vigilant of any potential ratfucking or damage the occurs in that time frame.

But 2020: you guys constantly show that you dont know that much about how modern politics even works. Learning important dates might be step one. Like when to register for primaries.
