Jonathan Hall KC, the independent reviewer of state threat legislation, is due to report this week on using counter-terrorism laws against state interference.
Jean-Luc Melenchon has been attacked for being anti-semetic since Oct 7 and he was asked why it didn’t seem to have the same effect on him and the party since it was pretty much the exact same scenario. He just said that you just have to ignore those things, anyone who is remotely seriously knows what’s going on, and everyone knows who the racists are in the political world.
As much as I wish for the best, I can’t imagine him not playing defence to some degree. The shameless aggression that is necessary does not seem to be in his nature.
People who are cutthroat and can win usually don’t become leftist, its far more easier to become the next trump and rip out the floor and strip the paneling form the walls.
The difference is, rightists have total domination of the media and government, Corbyn doesn’t. He can’t force his way to “populism” like chuds do. Time will tell if he can get enough support or not.
Except I’m not convinced Farage ever got half the vilification that Corbyn did. There’s a big difference between the media saying
“Immigration is the worst. Also hey look at this anti-immigrant guy, crazy right? Plus we keep implementing his policies. Remember immigration bad. Reform is totally a problem.”
and
“This guy confirmed for Russian sleeper agent. Plus he hates you. Here’s the army chief confirming he’ll get us all killed. And we proved his policies will make you poor. Plus he’s unelectable anyway. Here’s a bunch of shit we made up about him for kicks.”.
The left is the true antisemitic in the room thing has mostly been run to the ground in the UK (I hope), a few years ago a significant amount of his supporters were still both siding the Palestinian genocide.
I hope Corbyn has learned from Reform that constant vilification does absolutely nothing to stop you if you have a popular platform.

Why can’t we get any fucking aggressive leftists
aggressive leftists happen every so often. they get shot and/or arrested
I mean aggressive politically, not in demeanor. People who play to win and are cut throat

I have to thank Reform and 4chan for teaching me that constantly being demonized can work in my favor.
A specter once haunted Europe

He was allowed to present panel shows multiple times, it’s why I can never take any establishment figure fearmongering about him seriously.
Yep, ignore the bullshit. Just push through it and ignore everything they say
