I need to apologise to all the comrades who were saying Corbyn is controlled opposition, a distraction, and no better than Bernie.
You were right all along and I should've seen it back when Corbyn as the Labour leader banned socialists who supported Palestine for supposed "antisemitism" while keeping all the Blairites, neoliberals and imperialists like Starmer. I thought "he has to do that to stay electable and to survive in British parliamentary politics" but the truth of the matter is he was perfectly content to strangle the new party in it's infancy the moment he felt attacked from the left, and suddenly being electable or survival of the party didn't matter at all.
For context, he announced a new party with Zarah Sultana, she quit the Labour party for this, and the moment she went out of line (by launching the membership portal without checking with him first) he immediately threw a public tantrum, threatened legal action, sent a mass mail to all subscribers that the portal is "unautharised" and "if any direct debits have been set up, they should be immediately cancelled" and so on.
The portal was doing great by the way, it had 20,000 paying members within 3 hours of announcement which is completely unprecedented and he wrecked it and completely killed the momentum because he felt threatened by a young, brave, socialist, brown Muslim woman.
Now it seems Zarah has been completely sidelined, there is no mention of her in any communications, and today Corbyn officially registered the party with the Electoral Commission with himself as a sole leader and a transphobic, socially conservative landlord as Nominating Officer.
This is a complete betrayal and I feel sick thinking back to how I kept supporting him. He's a wrecker, I was being a lib and I was wrong.
Kids never do Trotskyism, because that's the end-result.

Yeah he shit the bed massively it seems. Which sucks because he came to our party events a lot but this just looks shit. Fucker.
Yeah, I don't get it, but I have to agree that Corbyn is just as conniving.
Tbh, he may feel that he has to do this stuff after what happened to him with the anti-Semitism charges, but he's dead-wrong for doing all this now.
He couldn't stand up for himself against Blairites and zionists but he can against a socialist and anti-zionist. It doesn't just look bad, it is bad.
💯
No, I agree, yeah.
Easy target.
Using the socialists and communists as a stepping stone, I see...
Stop making excuses for a sheep dog.
i am not
what is this if not an excuse?
Stop making excuses for a man who has never stood up for anything other than his own political career.
Corbin is not a comrade. He is not "hiding his power level." He is not trying to "traverse a corrupt system." He is building a transphobic crypto-zionist party for the bourgeois electoral system because that is who he is or at least who he thinks he needs to be to keep getting an MP's salary.
It's not an excuse.
I'm just trying to get into Corbyn's head and his own internal reasoning.
