like its obviously good that we've got an actual radical leftist with a very long history of being pro-palestine into parliament in the UK, but also he sucks so bad on trans issues and basically every other socially progressive issue. Im kind of like tentatively supportive of him since like as far as im aware in the rochdale election the options were basically transphobic far right neoliberal, transphobic bipartisan neoliberal, transphobic pedophile fascist and discount corbyn but transphobic for no apparent reason (average terf island local election ), and like at this point it doesnt seem like there's really any none fucked up opposition to the stranglehold the right has this country in
(also the liberals and the conservatives are both bipartisanly throthing at the mouth to get him out for being too pro palestine so that's funny ngl)
TL;DR:
"Mum, can we get Corbyn?"
"We already have Corbyn at home"
The Corbyn at home:
I believe communism has zero or worse chance unless people stop demanding social progressive purity. The vast majority of people are sadly bigoted one way or another. This includes leftists. You need to look past the bigotry and realize it's rooted in the despair caused by capitalism. People seek "the other" to hate or feel better than to brighten in a very twisted way their sullen existence. Capitalists perpetuate queerphobia and use performative fight against it to enslave queer people to the oppression they create for us.
People respecting my identity is not social progressive purity, its basic decency. Can't let bigotry exist in leftist spaces. That's fucking dangerous.
