All the replies from the Labour right to this tweet are “thank fuck this absolute lunatic never became prime minister with these insane views”.
Britain deserves everything coming to it.
Remember when he said he wouldn't approve a nuclear first-strike and was mocked for being weak?
I remember it well. Almost the entire population of Britain upset that he wouldn’t cause a nuclear retaliation that would kill them immediately.
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!
It’s madness how they’ve been able to condition the West that we can just keep attacking Russia militarily with no consequences.
I think we'll just have another uncreative "Corbyn SLAMMED for <misrepresentation of his position" that is typical of British rags these days, quoting some nobodies' replies.
We have confirmation: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c4g704g051go
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.

the only way to bring about an end to the war
Sure, if you want yet another war to end all wars. When the dust clears, future generations will never forgive us for what we're leaving them.
It's cute that the UK still thinks they're an empire. The sun has set my dudes. Get over it.
Its like they think siding with the americas will make them relevant, really its the americans that made them irrelevant in the first place. So maybe they should help end the empire. It only makes sense.
I like to see it like Rome. It's the same Anglo European empire but the seat of power moved. Britain is now semi-provincial but it's very much part of an empire. All those lords and ladies who moved to North America and rebranded as bourgeois haven't forgotten who is in the family, and vice versa.
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
I think Bernie's heart is in the right place, he's just afraid of being completely removed from the apparatus like they did to Ralph Nader.
And look at what they did to Jezza- total character assassination with that antisemitism bullshit.
Naw both of them are good guys, just Jezzas got bigger ahem ideas
Bernie "Israel has a right to defend itself" Sanders is a "good guy"? Until a few years ago i may have believed that but at this point that's just not believable when you take even a cursory look at who he has consistently aligned himself with. He's a sheepdog for imperialism, plain and simple.
Yeah I feel you. Massive L on the genocide and even though he was the ONLY person to raise the vote to stop shipments that was of course voted down TODAY, it was too little too late.
He's in game of thrones shit where he uses leverage when he can, but I agree with you he capitulated to cowardice because he still believes in incremental change.
Don't forget all the support Bernie has given to the US war machine. He pretends he's antiwar because he voted against the invasion of Iraq once and then subsequently voted to fund that invasion for the next ten years. He's also funnelled money into his state to build up the weapons manufacturing industry there.
He does not deserve the benefit of the doubt at this point as he has clearly voted to support US imperialism his entire career. The man makes some good critiques publicly, but they are empty of any meaningful actions or directly opposed by his actions.
Bernie is not a principled leftist and hasn't been since at least the 90s. There is a good reason Parenti cut ties with him.
I know. All the criticism is legit. But again he is the only person in the us government calling to end shipments of weapons to isntreal. Keep that in mind. Even if he capitulated on multiple occasions, he is THE ONLY VOICE IN GOVERNMENT calling for change and that has a modicum of influence on the voting population. And again I will reiterate are you in a union? Are you organizing a Union? Can you strike. Because that is literally the only political power we have other than an armed doohickey revolution
bernie's old as fuck and he already has enough money to spend the rest of his time on earth out of poverty. what the fuck is he afraid of? what's he waiting for?
He's trying to use political capital for incremental change. He still believes the system will eventually work. Which of course is nonsense.
Organize unionize strike. That's literally all we have. Y'all in a union? Yall organizing?
he’s just afraid of being completely removed from the apparatus
But that's exactly what controlled opposition means, you only rebel within the boundaries set by the ruling class and fall in line where it actually matters (like imperialism). And Dem "progressives" still backstabbed him, so why keep doing it?
People like that need to exist so that it's clear how tight those boundaries are.
Not that it's a reason to like him.
