There's been some excellent organizing around this conference, the Demsocs, TLG, 04PP, the kinds of leftists coming together that would've been unthinkable in recent years, yet those at the top seem willing to squander all of this effort and talent to keep control. It's insulting to their members.

The bet of this whole project from the top was that people would basically get behind King Corbyn due to the force of his brand, and that the sects of the organised left might be a labour pool as where else would they be able to go to stay politically relevant? Turns out, as ever, this was bollocks

Can we please generate some kind of political culture that isn't just cosplaying the tragic underdog in a Ken Loach movie. I beg.

I'm hearing that whilst the first time we all decided to follow Corbyn's organisational thesis (that a coalition of backstabbing landlords, bigots, and bureaucrats would magically achieve socialism in the UK) was a tragedy, that this second time is now confirmed to be a farce.

It's the Narodya Volya Rick and Morty copypasta but for fascism.

This is a Devin Townsend acoustic set.
