erm, actually, anything to the left of mussolini’s a liberal /s
I am in a perpetual state of existence, like most others on this particular Lemmy instance.
My banner is a lyric from the song, «Эх, Яблочко» (Oh, Little Apple) and translates to, “Come here, bourgeois, I’ll gouge your eye out.”

He is delusional
I believe you read that correctly, yes.
Why is there even “unless” there? Is UK not going to recognise the state of Palestine if Israel does agree to the two state solution?
Yes
The UK will formally recognise the state of Palestine this September as a result of the “increasingly intolerable” situation on the ground in Gaza, unless Israel abides by a ceasefire and commits to a two-state solution in the Middle East.

It is, to a degree. It recognises that Taiwan is Chinese, for example. (Which on its own netted the CPC a lot of criticism) I think part of the reason is that the CPC doesn’t want to give countries in the imperial core more ammunition to use against them, and might give them an incentive to ban DeepSeek with the justification that it’s Chinese propaganda, like they did with a Chinese news outlet that I can’t remember the name of.
Onewhoexists@lemmygrad.mlOPto World News@lemmygrad.ml•Jeremy Corbyn Confirms Plan to Create New Political Party with Zarah SultanaEnglish0·27 days agoRefom uk is not for straying sheep it is to round up the wolves. labour was the velvet glove to the torries mailed fist but it was still the hand of the bourgeoise and it stepped past its role by backing the banderites and zionists. now labour is indistinguishable from the torries and as they are both losing support they will bind together and will need a new controlled opposition.
You aren’t entirely wrong in saying this, but what does, “round up the wolves” mean? Reform certainly has a lot of petty bourgeois/bourgeois backing, but a substantial amount of their backing comes from the working class. Their rhetoric reflects this appeal to the proletariat, as seen in the following excerpt:
You are worse off, both financially and culturally. Wages are stagnant, we have a housing crisis, our young people struggle to get on the property ladder, we have rising crime, energy bills are some of the highest in Europe, the NHS isn’t working, both legal and illegal immigration are at record levels and woke ideology has captured our public institutions and schools.
He isn’t a revolutionary marxist he is a kautskyite.
Don’t put words in my mouth, I never claimed he was a revolutionary Marxist. Corbyn is no Mamdani, but no where near as bad as Sanders. He has good takes, and bad ones. Corbyn isn’t even all that relevant as the party will be a grassroots, top down one; Communists and real socialists can and will take advantage of this in the upcoming party conferences to decide the party’s direction.
No. Communist parliamentary participation can raise class consciousness. Social democrats use of socialist language disillusions people, often permanently. When they call themselves “Socialists” and their reforms fail it poisons the well for Real Socialists.
And where do they turn to? The worst that could happen is the acceleration of the turn to fascism, and then Socialism. More likely is that the masses realise that reform of any kind is not the answer to their problems. What happens in the aftermath of this situation depends on communist parties’ handling of it by guiding the masses towards revolution.

Onewhoexists@lemmygrad.mlOPto World News@lemmygrad.ml•Jeremy Corbyn Confirms Plan to Create New Political Party with Zarah SultanaEnglish0·28 days agoI’m going to have to disagree. This would be a fair assessment of parties like Reform UK or the Labour Party. Corbyn is a Social-Democrat, yes, but he is more Marxist-leaning than most Social-Democrats. My point being that left wing parliamentary action can be an effective way of spreading class consciousness; when Corbyn’s reforms ultimately fail, the working class will be disillusioned by bourgeois democracy even more, thus exciting; not diffusing revolutionary sentiment.
