They're only gonna get more popular as the material conditions of the working class worsen as they're one of the only parties that's framing themselves as being against the status-quo. The UK left seriously needs better organising otherwise we're gonna see mask-off fascists in power

    REMEMBER: DEFEATISM IS COUNTERREVOLUTIONARY

    Reform UK aren't even fascist, they are the same bog standard racist conservatives of a decade ago who did a neoliberal rebranding. Calling nigel farage an omen of fascism is not only incongruent with the reality of their movement and what fascism seriously is, but is also panic-mongering and doom-saying over nothing. He and his have already had positions of power. This "omen of fascism" thing is much more reasonable to say about France's party of Le Pen whose party was literally created by SS members and Holocaust deniers. And even they exist in a political and social landscape larger than them right now that needs to be taken into material account when speaking of the rising of fascists.

    "The left needs to get better at organizing" we are the left. collectively we are the 'better at organizing.' So we need. Where are things jammed up, and how to separate them? "better organizing" is phrase-mongering detached from material reality. Organize what? speak in specifics and do them. I said better in other comments here.
