Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body.

If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include not just the twitter.com URL but also Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source (archive.today, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org). Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed.

Mass-tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken Markov chain bot will result in a comm ban.

Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.

Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned.

Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society.

MODERATORS
 

YP supporters will be forced to choose between the two supposed co-leaders, after a week of yet more hostile briefings by each camp against the other’s figurehead, instead of a joint event depicting unity, if not personal then at least of purpose before the party’s founding conference.

What a clusterfuck of farcical proportions this whole thing has turned out to be.

Hard to not be sectarian when you have a Trotskyist splitting the party

[–] LeeeroooyJeeenkiiins@hexbear.net 8 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

im picking up the vibe of "hexbear supports sultana instead of Corbyn" which I got the last time this was posted about but which still confuses me because I have never seen her name mentioned before, or outside of, the context of "wrecking the new party" which was, i understood, Jeremy corbyn's project to begin with

[–] Ram_The_Manparts@hexbear.net 12 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Corbyn allied himself with landlords and bigots, while Sultana wanted an actual socialist party. It's not that hard to understand.

I must have missed the part where anybody explained any of that or explained why this person who seemed to appear out of the aether specifically to be involved in this controversy is more trustworthy than the person who literally started this party to begin with

If Jeremy "worse than Bernie Sanders, suddenly" Corbyn pledged to side with the landlords and bigots in the party he iirc started to combat the landlords and bigots then why hasn't Sultana started her own party instead of whatever it is they're both doing here if not to wreck it up, when it was, again, unless Im wrong, explicitly corbyn's project to begin with

If Corbyn hit his head and turned into john fetterman people should have informed me

I guess I was offline the day this was being explained, too.

My vague understanding is that one of them had money and the other had a massive mailing list. I think that's from trash future (November Kelly).

I don't have the impression anyone had any good, strong ideas. Other than "let's get out of the fucking labour party". That's a good start but I guess they figured the details would sort themselves out. No name; no platform, no internal structure. All the tensions of anticommunist leftwing parties.

Jeremy corbyn final act of service to british crown

[–] LadyCajAsca@hexbear.net 27 points 20 hours ago

Jeez, british politics are as depressing as the US, except it's self-contained because they thankfully have little impact on the world nowadays.. if the Green Party can pull and like unite the splits that'd be cool but I'm just wishfully thinking..

absolute doddering mess, what a shame

[–] WeedReference420@hexbear.net 31 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago) (1 children)

So fucked, my heart is broken and I guarantee the Greens won't step up in the face of Farageaggedon, we need to organise outside the electoral system

Edit: I'm gonna hijack this thread to ask if there are any socialist/communist/whatever orgs even worth joining in the UK? Trying to do mutual aid but without a mass movement we're all cooked. Desperately seeking a proper org but it seems like it's either radlibs screaming about how China is Imperialist or demented Trots who think being transgender was an MI5 plot invented by Tony Blair in 1997

Hey now, don't sell the UK left short like that. Sometimes it's both of those at once.

A very spiritually Trotskyist thing to do.

[–] LeninWeave@hexbear.net 42 points 23 hours ago

Yeah, you can really tell the genealogy of the UK left here.

[–] bigpharmasutra@hexbear.net 20 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

looking forward to the TrashFuture episode on this debacle.

[–] sewer_rat_420@hexbear.net 21 points 21 hours ago

What a god damn mess. At least the Greens are looking like a decent alternative until the brits can get a real socialist party sorted out
