It’s not just London either. I saw about 20 people marching down my road today with UK and England flags, and we’re in a little seaside town hundreds of miles away from London. There must be protests like this going on all over the country.

    Sometimes discipline comes out of necessity when the conditions of capital become so stark that unity is surivival. Having said that, it is unbecoming of us self-proclaimed MLs to rely on such “passivity”; it reeks of privilege to renege the duty of action.

      by undisciplined mess i mean:

      • parts of the party kept secrets from other parts of the party
      • there was a lot of bizarre maoism that did not fit the material conditions of the uk at all
      • it was supposed to be demcent but wasn’t particularly effective at it in practice (see the secrecy part)
      • the death blow to the party was when an individual member threw a tantrum and deleted the party’s online presence over the heads of the party at large and the central committee

      overall it was deeply unserious
