/leftypol/ - Leftist Politically Incorrect

>>2884913
That a figure like Maurice Glasman can exist in our nominally centre-left party is an object example of how Britain goes beyond the usual vices of capitalist society and has cooked up something uniquely abominable.
A measure of him: As well as being a member of the global Trump nonce cabal (he was at the inauguration, telling everyone who'd listen the - truthful - point that Labour is not a liberal party, that it's the reactionary little Labour party.), a good pal of Steve Bannon, an EDL apologist, and that's just off the top of my head…
He gave a policy speech to the global-warming denialist "global warming policy foundation" he has an extended diatribe about how rainbows are a beautiful symbol of god flooding the planet because the original sin was victimhood culture, concluding
>And then the rainbow appeared, and it was a sign of his promise that He would never again try to destroy the world. Que sera sera. Unlike Putin, God renounced the nuclear option. The rainbow was a sign of God’s eternal commitment to the continued existence of the world. One of my political missions, by the way, is to reclaim the rainbow from the ownership of transexuals. A rainbow is a miraculous thing that looks beautiful even when witnessed from the Holloway Road. The story of the flood assured me that my historical analysis was correct.
Mental!

I have come to believe almost precisely the opposite of him and the appropriation of token communitarian and socdem rhetoric by him and his ilk has been one of the two major motivators for my growing tolerance of neoliberal ideas. The other, ironically as we will see, is that I think market forces could remove power from London and from our current ruling class/caste, either to competent regional firms or to international capital. (By no means a benevolent master, but nowhere near as malevolent or as committed to keeping us in penury as our domestic ruling class.) Indeed, an underrated critique of our historical nationalisation program is that in the long-run it helped move power to the centre, and it did not return to the periphery post-"privatisation". Of course, in practice, the bastardised implementation of neoliberalism has lead to the rise of him and his global Trump-cult allies, but this demands fair analysis - just as the bastardised Keynesianism of the postwar consensus lead almost irrevocably to Thatcherism and to Blairism. (and for all Mr. Glasshouse disavows Blair, Blair shared much of the same communitarian fetish and indulgence of reactionary rhetoric, briefly considered "thinking the unthinkable" on welfare in 1997-8 with Frank Field, and of course Blair too is on the pro-War, pro-Trump side of things more generally. You'll forgive me if I put them in the same boat of "much worse than just selling the whole country to Toyota and letting Akio Toyoda run the place.")

I would be open to compromise on almost anything if it could ensure his ilk, sympathisers, and useful idiots can be kept from power. I defend, in a circumscribed sense, economic liberalism and free trade and free markets and even parts of actually existing neoliberalism precisely because the alternative is not warm, competent, social democratic humanism, or even a sort of tough-but-idealistic modernised soviet style socialism, it is the visions of psycopaths like him and Bannon implemented through the borderline lawless administration of openly corrupt mobsters like Trump on the one hand and human vacuums like Starmer on the other, almost certainly trending towards a ruinous and potentially human-civilisation-destroying war in the final act. (As you touch on, there's always money for "defence", isn't there?)

Whatever nominally leftish sweeteners they throw in (dude we'll have factories again :) !) can only be understood in the context of the totality of their vision (weapons factories >:) !), which is unappealing in its own terms if you give equal weight to each part instead of allowing yourself to be seduced by wishfully reading only the parts you enjoy (the ol picrel trick) and when understood in terms of how it is actually likely to be implemented, weighed up against the class interests and so on within British society, it's just unspeakably awful.
The best idea of the lot - the only one on which we really agree - is with devolution and decentralisation of power, and that is precisely the least likely one to be implemented. (I've said in more words before: centralisation is the fundamental British ideology and one of the major causes of our unusually bad politics and unusually dysfunctional society. Between the hard task of taking power away from London, or the easy one of having the supreme court conclude you've an equality act protected right to shoot any transsexual who wears anything more colourful than John Major's hair so as to reclaim the rainbow, which do you think The Amazing Maurice and his Uneducated Lumpenproletariat will choose?)

Racist thugs storm homes of refugees
Police bracing for further violence have warned that those taking part in the disorder will face “the full force of the law,” with two more people arrested on Thursday on a third consecutive night of unrest in the Norfolk market town. People have attempted to storm homes linked to asylum-seekers following proposals to convert a former military base just over the border in Suffolk, RAF Barnham, into asylum-seeker accommodation for up to 3,750 people.

Ireland is the easiest because it's still visa free, and if you live there long enough you can get citizenship and then have your pick of EU country to live in on pre-Brexit terms. I will remind people of this every chance I get.

If you were one of the people who actually picked up some french in school you could use it to get bonus points in Canada, though you probably still need some kind of skilled qualification.

Ngl, the situation for the UK looks quite bleak from afar. Even if it’s a LARP, the fact that quasi-paramilitary groups of reactionary lumpen wignats are sprouting across the UK and coming with their own set of drones, guns, weapons and specialised uniforms whilst being treated with kiddie gloves by the liberal British government is a sign for worrying times to come, especially given how reactionaries are becoming more and more emboldened as seen in the race riots of 2024, 2025, and now 2026. The ChudIntern mockingbird influencer network outside the UK have been salivating at the prospect of a race war in British soil, and honestly I don’t have any solutions unfortunately.

There are also the issues of complacency, a lack of proper organisational structure, no sports clubs or other venues to recruit normies (especially young white men) into the anti-fascist cause, on the top of general defeatism.

I guess it’s understandable that emigration is popular for those that can afford it, especially as the countries seems to be more and more at the hands of the lumpenised wignats and their wannabe blackshirts, all of whom have some link with Loyalist paramilitaries and American christofascist dominionist militias.

Are the British isles a lost cause atm? Is Britain unsalvageable? What do you guys think?

>>2888178
My thought is this is just what liberalism begets. It was always an inevitability.

>>2888178
>no sports clubs or other venues to recruit normies (especially young white men) into the anti-fascist cause
Anti-fascists mostly say that young white men are the problem, so why and how would they recruit them?

I saw several of your post on the matter and while it's a travesty that a nominaly leftist government isnt doing anything about what's basically thugs running around doing property damage and scaring people, you seem to be blowing things out of proportions. These guys have so far killed zero people, not even during the latest Northern Ireland riots and seems to be mostly a bunch of uncompetent genx spaz (quasi-gammons). They could be used by nefarious foreign agents into helping for "color revolution" of some sorts or as an ICE-like gestapo, but i doubt it.
So far organized transphobia killed more (young and mostly white) people in the UK than these guys or race hatred against browns did post-1999 but every left-of-center english act like it's normal to have a bunch of Robert Drumont-tier publications and personalitie solely dedicated to make British transgenders life impossible while also putting out hits on them (Brianna Gay case) and that we should talk about how Reform is totally gonna deport 8 million people for real and not just demolish every single infrastructures to sell the copper wires to jewish, saudi and american financiers while running an ICE style gestapo against workers.
All in all it is stupid and myopic to ignore this while whining about potential skinheads doing footy hooligan shit.

True. Trans people and other sexual/gender minorities are always the canary in the coalmine, as “degenerates” are often the first acceptable targets for reactionaries before they move onto racial/ethnic minorities and finally to “race traitors”. In this sense, transphobia is basically training grounds for fascism.

And it’s a shame too as apparently the early gay rights movement in the 1970s was partially bankrolled by trans millionaires. But now? Not only do most trans people lack an elite of their own, but most of them are economically destitute ranging from poverty to downright homelessness. I know it’s a cliche in our circle, but “first they came for… but then there was no one left to defend me” really applies here. Apart from a few completely deracinated individuals and a couple of actual leftists, most BAMEs and religious minorities went along with the TERF agenda. Do they deserve death for it? No. But they shouldn’t be surprised that the outcome of empowering TERFs and other transphobes would be the normalisation of other bigotries, whether it’s islamophobia, catholiphobia, or just plain racism.

Even the gays and lesbians that supported the LGB crap shouldn’t be surprised that the end result is an uptick in homophobia, especially among the very hooligans they support.

I guess that’s liberal democracy for you: No matter how much it sucks, it does well at avoiding class conflict by pushing idpol to the masses.

I’ll say this though: The rise of the alt-right can be traced back to the left’s failure to question sex assault dogma, especially since radfem theories on male sexuality is what drives much of the chuds’ praxis on raep. Like, the best the left can push is “To Kill a Mockingbird” and deconstructionist arguments on consent which isn’t going to sway anybody when applied to POC-on-white rape. A good example would be 2010s alt-righters claiming that Sweden is the world’s rape capital because of refugees from Africa and MENA, and leftists would answer back by pointing out the statistical flaws in Swedish rose stats, to which alt-righters would reply back by pointing out the hypocrisy of leftists only pointing to the social construction of crime when it applies to non-white people.

Obviously, the solution would be to apply the same social deconstruction and material analysis even in cases of white-on-POC and white-on-white rapes, but that would essentially mean a break with feminist idpol even if it doesn’t necessarily come at the expense of equal rights for women, and so the left simply let the alt-right go unopposed with the rape “hysteria”. And I put it in double-brackets because while there are legitimate cases of migrant rapes, far less attention is given to petty crimes and murder of men which are far more common than grave sexual crimes. I know normies are more easily goaded into sexual disgust and outrage over economics, but still…

On a second thought, I guess you’re right about hooligans. Their lack of military experience and intelligence means that they’ll most likely won’t amount to anything other than street gangs and brawlers unless the state actively supports them like with the brownshirts after 1933.

>>2888213
My two cents is that ageism plays as much of a role in terms of the left alienating young white men as implicit racism since infantilising and ageist rhetoric from leftists is all too common and normalised. Given how reactionary many young white men are, I think it would be worthwhile to recruit them given that most chuds don’t care about young men since they’ll pay lip service to MRA-style rhetoric only to throw any young white male under the bus for violating some random social more (e.g., cross-dressing as a form of self-expression), for example. I don’t think it’s as hopeless, if only because young white British men are still less reactionary than their elderly counterparts and generally more divided politically.

Essentially, I think a break with both liberal and radical feminisms to create space for a positive male self-image, combined with greater focus on labor issues and economics over idpol, would be better. That would mean having to tolerate casual bigotry unless it gets too serious, and overall loosening much of the etiquette from the woke era, among other concessions.

I don't buy this americanized understanding at all. Homosexuality will be completely accepted in british fascism just as it's completely accepted within british bourgeois and nobility.

>>2888330
It is only accepted in a qualified sense, relative to "you will burn in hell for this". There's a distinctly upper class homophobia that sees it as ridiculous in a childish sense, since a good public schoolboy is supposed to get it all out of his system at Eton.
(This is why Private eye is deeply homophobic, for example)

>>2888299
>Given how reactionary many young white men are
The vast majority of people on this website are young white men.
You are again alienating a group you apparently wish to rehabilitate.

>>2888373
Precisely. Homosexuality is made "respectable", not liberal.

>>2888798
Sure, but Leftypol is too fringe to be representative.

And like I’ve said, unlike older generations, young white men are still more politically split, making their rehabilitation more likely than white boomers, most of whom are on their deathbeds or too old to be wiling to change their opinions on anything at all.

>>2888798
the upshot of this is that there's a selection effect for a higher calibre and status of young man. (not on /leftypol/, of course, which is mostly imageboard losers.)
there is something shameful about a man who is not secure enough in his individuality to ignore attacks on "men" that clearly aren't related to him personally. if all you've got going for you is being male, you've got nothing. men are the high variance gender: easier to become a pure individual genius unfettered by this social category, but also easier to be a total fucking loser dragged down to the depths by the concrete-shoes of an outmoded social category.

now of course this is a touch unfair: why can women fall back on cheap idpol but men can't? a fair question logically, but a loser question practically. you wouldn't like any of the answers! so don't ask it - go cultivate something else.

>>2888843
with all i've said above: this is one area where Britain is anomalously good. young men here are much more left-leaning than in most countries.

>2 brown MAGA Conservative ex-NBA players say they're going to apply to play in the women's league because of this, just as an excuse to bash the trans and feed the culture war
>Graham Linehan as you can expect goes bananas about this whole situation on twitter

>TERF who edited Glinner's memoir is shocked to find that all their TERF pals support a far-right bookshop
<For many prominent GCs who genuinely started out on the left, it’s clear that hanging out on the right, taking pay cheques from UnHerd, The Critic, Spiked and The Spectator, and knowing they’ll get a sympathetic ear from Julia Hartley-Brewer of Talk TV or Josh Howie of GB News, has meant they end up sounding very like their new right-wing friends. Cheering for Israel and abusing anyone who opposes the genocide of Palestinians has become de rigueur for many vocal GCs.
<When some of them embrace obsessive anti-Muslim racists who happen to be GC, it feels like they’re not doing it despite the Islamophobia, but because of it. This distortion of values doesn’t escape trans rights activists. As one mocked the other day: ‘You could not write a better punchline to the “protect women and girls” TERF academics joke, than them all coming out to eulogise the wife-beating paedophile Rod Liddle.’
<Someone else at SiP told me she hated the far right but would ‘link arms with whoever I have to’ on the issue of gender ideology. This is a familiar position, but I would suggest it’s not actually true. Yes, they’ll work with anyone on the right. But if you’re the kind of deranged ‘tankie’ and ‘Hamas apologist’ who thinks it’s bad to shoot Gazan kids in the head for target practice, they don’t want to know you.
they're so close to getting it. (but then go down the blind alley of wanting a new TERF left grouping instead, which will always in the end lead to you the grotesque spectacle of the CPB praising the Supreme Court and British Government.)

You just know those types of "people" would be bitching about the DDR, not because of anything related to revisionism or anything along those lines but because of their position on trans people

If anything as it gets hotter, the rate of denial increases.
