Corbyn is probably the only genuine Soc Dem out there that hasn’t became a Neoliberal in Red Paint.
i may be misremembering but i remember back in the 2016 onward you’d hear chatter about how labour party bureaucrats would be shocked that these were his actual views and not something he said to gain power
One I wish he won and two, honestly if I was to ever meet him, I’d buy him a pint and fish and chips and I’m not even British!
I’m curious if anyone knows how similar he is to Bernie Sanders? I’ve heard the two compared before vaguely, but I’m not very clear on the specifics. They both seem to inhabit that space of saying things like, you know, “maybe we shouldn’t destroy the world in a nuclear holocaust” and being called a radical for doing so. Or like, “I watched Star Wars and while I’m not totally sold on the rebel alliance, I do at least disagree with some of the things that Emperor Palpatine did.” And then people are like, “How dare you support those Death-Star-destroying rebels.” (Maybe joking a bit with that second example, but I’m not sure it’s far off if you make it analogous to geopolitics.)
But I feel like somebody said once he’s a bit more to the left of Bernie. Not really sure.
Not really similar, while not a communist Corbyn is a genuine leftist, consistent and principled in his way. Bernie on the other hand is controlled opposition, a sellout.
Corbyn is a genuine soc dem, Bernie is a neo-liberal in Red
It’s madness how they’ve been able to condition the West that we can just keep attacking Russia militarily with no consequences.
it really is

I can hardly believe how different UK and the world would’ve been if Anglos elected him instead of Bojo the clown. Alas, hating immigrants was more important.
I think it’s worth keeping in mind that the UK is a dictatorship of the capital owning class. Corbyn has a lot of popular support, but his party fought tooth an nail to sideline him. It’s pretty much the same pattern we saw with Sanders in the US. The game is rigged.
Obligatory viewing on the subject:

This documentary covers the largest political leak in British political history which went completely unreported in the free British press so Al Jazeera had to do their job for them, and the British press didn’t even report or react to Al Jazeera film. This is the state of the UK media.
