The world we live in is not just a isolated archipelago of nation states anymore. the performance of the left in one part of the west has a direct impact on the performance of the left in another part of the west, in the world.

The same tactics used by liberals and conservatives alike to ensure the defeat of corbyn will work, without fail, in america too. They'll call him an anti semite, they'll split the vote (the liberals are not above this) and then they'll blame it on bernie and say "see? this is was """""""radical left""""""" politics will bring you. four more years of trump. The only way to win is to vote center!!"

and the fucking response of the labour party afterwards. pitiful. everyone is so fixated on boris johnson. Who gives a fuck? your leader is being thrown under the bus by the blairite "left" someone say something. Boris Johnson means nothing in comparison to the neo libs.

You know what's really /lit/-related? The fact that, over and over again in its literature, Britain just does not fucking like Europe. Brexit was always inevitable. The UK has never wanted to be part of Europe. They want to be related to Europe, and they want to have relations with Europe, but they don't want to be PART of Europe. They want to stand at arm's length from Europe.

This is a famous speech by John of Gaunt from Shakespeare's Richard II:

Methinks I am a prophet new inspired
And thus expiring do foretell of him:
His rash fierce blaze of riot cannot last,
For violent fires soon burn out themselves;
Small showers last long, but sudden storms are short;
He tires betimes that spurs too fast betimes;
With eager feeding food doth choke the feeder:
Light vanity, insatiate cormorant,
Consuming means, soon preys upon itself.
This royal throne of kings, this scepter'd isle,
This earth of majesty, this seat of Mars,
This other Eden, demi-paradise,
This fortress built by Nature for herself
Against infection and the hand of war,
This happy breed of men, this little world,
This precious stone set in the silver sea,
Which serves it in the office of a wall,
Or as a moat defensive to a house,
Against the envy of less happier lands,
This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England,
This nurse, this teeming womb of royal kings,
Fear'd by their breed and famous by their birth,
Renowned for their deeds as far from home,
For Christian service and true chivalry,
As is the sepulchre in stubborn Jewry,
Of the world's ransom, blessed Mary's Son,
This land of such dear souls, this dear dear land,
Dear for her reputation through the world,
Is now leased out, I die pronouncing it,
Like to a tenement or pelting farm:
England, bound in with the triumphant sea
Whose rocky shore beats back the envious siege
Of watery Neptune, is now bound in with shame,
With inky blots and rotten parchment bonds:
That England, that was wont to conquer others,
Hath made a shameful conquest of itself.
Ah, would the scandal vanish with my life,
How happy then were my ensuing death!

England has never liked Europe.

What do you want them to do? They lost because of Corbyn. Was he smeared by a corrupt media? Yes, of course.

We should never have entered the EEC. It was always doomed to failure. We do not have the temperament to work with it. Our disdain for it seems buried in our national DNA. Even all the remainers, who seem so effusive now with their love of what we so tellingly call "the continent," were once mostly indifferent to the EU and it's processes and machinations, their hatred of Brexit born mostly out of liberal fears of racism and economic hardship. There is no ideological love of Europe here.

You need to turn off the TV and late night shows with their Trump hysteria. They're trying to distract you and shift the focus away from important issues, like the US war mongering attitudes (from both Dems and Reps) or the unwillingness to address demographic issues and so on.

What kind of boomer is troubled by using the internet for public declaration? You actually like those press conferences with flags flying around and the fake preaching tone? I don't mind them on special occasions but it shouldn't be the day to day operation.
>This causes all US allies to doubt whether the US will actually honor alliances or even agreements
This is by far the best part. US support was taken for granted no matter what 'allies' were doing. I say this as a German but how is it a bad thing from a US perspective. That's one of the things I agree with him. You never ever enter negociations without making it clear you can walk away in a second.

There is nothing he can do about it. Being pretend buddy with Kim isn't harming.

In theory, it could help. In practice, you'd need politicians with an anti-immigration stance. The "conservatives" are not such politicians.

Leaving the EU could reduce the number of polaks and such, but you'll just get pakis and nogs instead.

He's not too far off. Blair moved us to the presidential system we have now where elections focus less on your local representative (like it should) and more on the leader. Also aside from Brexit which is such a polarising issue, is a fairly central and like when he was mayor, will likely come further into the center following Brexit.

cringe, they lost because northern and welsh plebs wanted brexit and because retarded virtue signalling liberals wanted to vote for an anti-brexit party. if it was a hung parliament again, there would have been another load of stalemate and we would have ended up with this result eventually

if you think this result has anything to do with actual domestic policies, just ask yourself why boris only ever talked about brexit or scaremongering about corbyn, why sky kept advertising it as "the brexit election". the tories know very well that labour's manifesto policies were wildly popular (outside of the brexit one which was trying to take the middle ground on a highly polarised issue)

the loss would have been even worse with a centrist or remainer. labour were in the worst position for brexit as they were split 2:1 remain:brexit. all other parties were 9:1 in favour of one side or the other.

once brexit is done, and i've been waiting four years for the fucking tories to get it done, people will vote on domestic policies once again and the leftwards demographic shift will continue

Johnson made a smart strategic call. He realized that he could win in a landslide if he simply re-ran the Brexit referendum under the guise of a general election. That's because the way Parliament constituencies are structured, even if 5-10% more people vote the equivalent of "Remain" (Lab, LD, Green, SNP, etc) than in 2016, he will still win and improve his majority.

They don't, but the anti-semitism hurt his urban liberal support, while not talking about brexit and instead tryin to push the tired NHS angle also hurt his working class support. The Tories won because they advertised themselves as "we're the party that will solve the brexit debate, so we can all shut up about it and move on". Talk to the average person in the UK about brexit, and the general opinion seems to be that everyone just wants to move on regardless if we leave or not. The Tories took advantage of that. Had Corbyn took advantage of that too, then people might have started to give his economic policies more attention.

I agree, it was almost an impossible position to be in. Problem is, remainer Tories still voted for Boris.

Still, I think there were more votes to be had among the traditional labour heartlands than among the cosmopolitan neolibs in London. Flipping Putney is not really a great consolation prize.

In these circumstances no. He was fucked. If Brexit had been dealt with beforehand then possibly but he would have struggled. Labour have a bad reputation for poor economic management and Corbynism does nothing to alleviate those concerns of middle england (votes that he needs to win). On top of this his socially progressive pro immigration anti imperialist platform was always going to alienate a huge bulk of the working class even further than they were already.
Corbyn's chief problem was his inability to sell himself and all his policies effectively - there were plenty of smears against him yes but that was unavoidable. The right wing press is the right wing press. You have to fight them and he failed to do that. His party being mostly hostile towards him from day one was an even bigger issue and probably the thing that doomed him.

I'm not sure about that. The working class base are not Corbyn's main constituency. The young metropolitan liberals are. There was a time last year when you could feel his base shifting uncomfortably in response to his general Que Sera Sera Brexit position. If he had gone full out and said "fuck it we're leaving," he could well have lost them and those are people he needs not only to get elected but to remain leader of the party. They're his protective wall. I agree that there is something pathetic about Labour losing it's working class base but I get the sense that was always going to happen to some degree. The working class may share (though be somewhat skeptical of the extent of ) his economic views but they are totally opposed to his cultural stance. A party that is pro immigration, anti-imperialist and soft on crime is never going to wash in the North and that is where Labour had found itself irrespective of Brexit.

Labour lost a lot of working class support to UKIP in 2015 and only gained a small amount of it back in 2017 - the rest went to the Tories. He was also up against a very weak prime minister and most crucially didn't actually win the election.
I totally agree that Brexit was the main thing that did it in for him in the North this time but even if Brexit had been resolved, his liberal social view would have still been an issue - perhaps not enough to lose him as many seats as he did last night but certainly enough to deprecate his vote share in key marginals.

Agree completely. But why would working class northerners vote for Corbyn over a third party that better reflected their Brexit stance in 2017? They thought Corbyn was on their side in 2017 but turned against him in 2019 after he appeared to get cucked by the London neolibs.

No question.

They've now definitively succeeded in taking down Corbyn, let's see what happens next.

It has opened my eyes to their are vested interests who are manipulating information on a mass scale to discredit a man based on his political positions on Israel and our current economic system. I haven't gone full /pol/tard but it seems quite clear that centrists within the Labour Party, ultra Zionists and mass media moguls (as well as their hack lackeys) have conspired together to produce these allegations. There was nary a peep about antisemitism in the media until "somebody" dug up that Naz Shah post and then all of sudden the whole party was leaden with antisemitic feeling. What a fucking joke. If only Ken Livingstone had shut his fucking trap on that radio show Corbyn might have dodged any personal affiliation to this manufactured crisis.

Look, it's clear that certain demographics favour certain shit policies, and a disproportionate share of the ruling class are of certain demographics. But resist the urge to "call them out" in ethnic terms. It leads nowhere for the left. Don't give the media establishment an excuse to marginalize you.

>There was nary a peep about antisemitism in the media until...
I get it. Corbyn is obviously not an antisemite. But don't take the bait. Corbyn didn't lose because he was insufficiently sensitive to feminists, Zionists, or whatever the fuck. He lost because the London elite influence-peddlers/lobbyists divided him from his core working-class mission by piling on fringe IdPol bullshit. (Some of us may personally agree not only with Remain but also with certain fringe IpPol stances, but running on them front-forward in a general election campaign is obviously suicidal if you're a working-class party. Run on economic issues, and let the culture evolve on its own. This is how it has always worked in the past.)

I don't really know what you're on about here. There is no demographical issue here around the Jews. Most British Jews were hoodwinked into believing the antisemitic conspiracy as anyone else. The issue is the Zionists deflecting any criticism whatsoever of Israel as conflating their political ideology with the Jewish ethnicity. I'd agree that there is no point in going on about it in public because it'll just be Corbyn all over again but I'm not in public so whatever.
>He lost because the London elite influence-peddlers/lobbyists divided him from his core working-class mission by piling on fringe IdPol bullshit.
If you think Corbyn isn't a dyed in the wool social progressive who hasn't totally jugged the IdPol kool-aid, you're blind. He lost because of Brexit, as well as the the lack of engagement the PLP early in his leadership, the extensive media smears and ultimately, if we're being honest, his own general ineptitude in selling himself well and navigating all these obstacles.

>If you think Corbyn isn't a dyed in the wool social progressive who hasn't totally jugged the IdPol kool-aid, you're blind.
Sure, he is undoubtedly a social progressive, and certain anti-imperialist positions he took during his decades as a backbencher did not particularly help him in terms of electability when reflected through the prism of the rightwing tabloid press (and neolib broadsheet press).

His manifesto wasn't popular because no one believed it was realistic. He doesn't understand the working class mindset because he and his followers come from the entitled middle classes that expect everything to be given to them and get angry when it isn't. Working class people on the whole value hard work and see that as the way to provide for their families (and look down on wasters of society). Since nothing has ever been given to them, they are suspicious of free things, particularly at the drastic level that he was claiming and didn't believe they would not have to pay for it some way or another. Those of the younger middle classes have lived on easy mode and thus to them free things are common and expected (by free I mean for themselves like kids who's parents buy them cars and don't see it as special). This is the major disconnect from people caught in the his bubble.

To pull in the working classes you need to respect hard work and not try to nationalise many industries that would impact them. You need to show that you highly value small businesses and entrepreneurship (particularly trade skills) and finally you need to set an attack on rich people that don't work hard to get their lives.

They lost because of Brexit, which is just a further sign of his disconnect from the working classes - I think at the end he actually believed the remainer meme of leave voters being stupid and regretful. But the reason the loss was so bad was due to him and his politics.

The northern working class are complaining about being left behind, London always being put first and are concerned about immigration and there's him talking about nationalising broadband (who cares for a start but also there are lots of self employed people doing the fitting), energy (again not a pressing issue), royal mail (would be nice as a pride thing but who cares, post still works), rail (with no talk of actually improving the northern lines) and investing in the NHS (good but Boris did too). On top of that he is not patriotic and is seen to support terrorists with a weak stance on crime. Many voted against him rather than for him because he didn't listen, he took them for granted.

Sharing a story I wrote a few days ago

Meanwhile in the United Cuckdom, a group of radicals with Spoon permits had taken over a number of police stations and had obtained anti-spoon gear they could use to defend the parts of road that weren’t potholes. The U.C.s government sent their one aircraft carrier to subdue the village but it lacked a liscence to kill and so remained anchored at Port Cuck where it was quickly stripped down of all its metal by Doctors, Scientists and Engineers.

Prime Minister Netan Yahoo! Ordered the U.C. Army to subdue the Racist, Facist, Evil Nazis who sought to overthrow the Only Democratic Nation in the Middle East ™. However the shipment of Tactical Spoons they have proquired through the Mexican Onions Backmarket allowed the biligerants to avoid detection and stop Anti-Facists from putting down the rebellion against International Vulture Capital.

As this was going on the True Britons of England had started their morning prayer to the Black Cube in the middle East, and so all the Roads were blocked making tactical reinforcement near impossible. Typically the Army would fill in potholes so their tanks could use their highways, and unfill them when they had passed, but due to the morning prayer this made the tactic almost impossible.

When negotiators were sent in it was found that the biligerants were angry at the exploding Pigeon population that had continued to grow at an unprecidated rate, Pigeons dominated every city centre and were enough to change voting demographics. People wanted the Pigeons to be send back to where they came from, but the Government found this to be a racist request as Pidgeons also paid taxes and were willing to do the Jobs natives weren’t willing to do, they offered food that we couldn’t get from anywhere else. Pidgeons were the new face of Britain, and the biligerants would just have to accept it as the new normal, part and parcel of living in a vibrant, LGBTP, multi-species, international town like Swansea. .

the modern "radical" political left of today is strangely enough, completley divorced of the radical political left of the 60s or 80s. Debord, Baudrillard, Deleuze, Derrida, etc were all completely right about pretty much everything but the left of today totally ignores their lessons and backtracks to a weird christian-marxist conception of morality and economics (materialism) with only vague rhetoric of the old postmodern left as cover. The left as it is now is basically where the right was around the 40s.

The right, meanwhile was brilliantly co oped the postmodern left's theories and prescriptions to its own cause. In the Spectacle, yes economic conditions are still a factor but increasingly so is identity and Image. The right doesnt pay lip service to "minorities" or "oppressed people", it indirectly but strongly casts itself as the champion of its own newly becoming-minority group (white people) in the context of increasing and intesnifying urbanization, globalized new media. Immigration is the scapegoat but Immigration angst is largely just the cover for the larger shifts at play and gets magnified.

its hegelian and its obvious that it would happen. The Intelligence Agencies probably did or did not stunt the growth of these ideas within the Western Left, but that doesnt mean they wouldnt come up eventually. They had to. They are historical forces. If it didnt come up in the left, it would come from the Right. And they would prevail not because of people but because they are simply correct in their time and place.

many more factors at play here obviously, in general capital's flattening of everything and nationalism melding with Identity to become something else. too much to write

Healthcare, transportation, education, etc. Question how the money will come. Yet, pump money into defence or private hands then it's freely given with not an inquiry raised by the masses who are being stolen from. Sad.

How many books have you written and/or published? I bet you haven't even read Homer. If you want to overthrow the ruling class start by educating your sorry ass. Put some fucking work in and maybe one day people will look up to you too, and you might actually instigate some change.
Or just keep posting salty comments here while people like Boris Johnson steer the course of this world.

Ergodan is our ally. The Kurds are allies to nothing but anarchy.

Brexit is a policy that fell out of hell and into the Tory lap, neither party actually wanted it.

Boris himself seems to be supporting Brexit simply to keep up a promise he made while he was drunk. Considering the things he actually stands for, I really don't understand how he can be anti-EU

I’m not particularly fond of the Turks as far as our allies go (they’re still better than the Israelis and Saudis, but that doesn’t say much.), but as a statist entity they are capable of of being an ally to us in some way. The people who care about the Kurds don’t actually care about the US. They merely want to see us use our resources to support communists and anarchists internationally.

The main problem with the nhs isn't lack of money anyway, its the less than efficient leadership and over use causing it to haemorrhage money left and right.

Yep, China's attempts to handle the problem of intellectuals may have been well-meaning, but their good will caused them to fail. Cambodia had the better plan when it came down to it.
