Sorry folks we cannot take back the labour party. The establishment learnt their lesson. So now we need to unite outside of it. Bring all the factionalised groups together, we are the ‘Labour Movement’ we are the true supporters of what the Labour Party was supposed to represent.
We need to see it as a football team. When it started out it was represented by players from the local communities, it’s supporters were local to the team. But the league got bought out by big business, and now the players do not represent the towns, cities or communities, the players don’t play for passion they play for money, the supporters are mainly those who are only about who wins the league, who have the best kits and no longer about the people who supported them in the beginning.
This cannot carry on. Politicians need to be passionate about the people they represent. The whole point of an MP should be to represent their communities and. Protect and promote the people within them.
This is now generally lost within the Labour Party. Now it’s about furthering careers, awards, shares and directorships. It about the rewards they can squeeze out of companies, of oligarchs and even foreign governments.
We need to stop this type of politics right now.
We on the left generally believe in the same things, in people, in communities, in morality, in ethics. We strave to be antidiscrimiatory and to stand against hate, bigotry and greed.
We as socialists do not accept cruelty, expansionism, profiteering nor corruption.
It’s that simple.
We can no longer allow the right wing, the capitalists, the establishment, corporations and the super rich to undermine, control or own us. We are not chaff, we are not expendable and each one of us needs to be cherished and supported by society not villified and treated with cruelty and disdain.
So our choices now truly are unite and fight, or divide and fail. Sadly for the vulnerable, the ill, the disabled it now is a fight to the death. The establishment already in countless ways have demonstrated their intent to make life so difficult for these folk to continue, to survive never mind have any chance at a happy life where needs are met and they feel nurtured and cared for.
We now make the decisions or sadly for some we die.
We are Labour, it’s the Labour Party who no longer are.
