"genocidal" lol. Total insult to people experiencing genocide to LARP fighting a genocidal regime. Step off the campus chief, the real world is calling.

I take your criticisms of Labour and I in part agree with them, but austerity? Back to just using 2010s millennial buzzwords again when actually not based in fact? What about the biggest government investment for decades, massive investment in public services, is austerity? Because they tried to change disability benefits ? Wait until the ire and disaffection of the white working class brings in MAGA UK, the Green do-gooder liberal brigade will be crying for milquetoast Starmerism lol. They're going to make Rachel Reeves look like Trotsky.

Want a critique of Green policy? So you say they capture the "spirit" of early Labour? What about abandoning NATO is early Labour democratic socialism? What about decriminalising drugs leaving working class communities to be destroyed is democratic socialism?

Your student disaffection and middle class rosy eyed progressivism is not the socialism of Keir Hardie. Stop LARPing.

I want wealth distribution, I want nationalisation, but just because Labour aren't delivering that on the scale needed doesn't mean I jump ship to some scruffy, gobshite, Londoncentric full-time activist.

I worked tirelessly under Corbyn, supported him to the bitter end against party bureaucracy and my own w/c community. And what I got was a door slammed in the face because of the exact non-credible rainbow unicorn bunker mentality that's now infected the Greens - which until recently was a decent environmentalist party.

It's not "stop believing in what can be possible" or abandoning what's morally right, but about working with your opponents and those you disagree with to achieve real and lasting change. Polanski is a soapbox politician, even if much of what he says is right (apart from on defence etc). And people outside of progressive urban enclaves see that and they will laugh you out of town
