    The organised and powerful Labour right wing was one of the main reasons Corbyn lost. They sabotaged the Labour campaign, they started the antisemitism smears, they caused the flip-flopping on Brexit. They would rather loose to the Tories than win with Corbyn.

    I don't know if it was possible for Corbyn to do or not or if he was simply too nice a person to fight dirty but the fact that he didn't led to his defeat. I can't see how a leftist could ever win if they didn't forcefully defeat the disloyal right wing in their own party.

      If Corbyn fought as a cutthroat they would have simply smeared him as a Stalinist instead of in addition to an anti-semite. There were no tactics he could apply which change the fact that elections are run by the media and the media is firmly in the pocket of capital.

      I think playing the game in good faith was the correct choice for Corbyn and Sanders. They showed us just how pointless elections are.

        They will call anyone left of Thatcher stalinist anyway, might as well be politically effective at the same time
