Hello leftypol, we noticed an under-appreciation for the theory that upholds our political ideologies: As such, we have decided to revive the reading sticky! This thread will be dedicated to the sharing, discussing, and general banter about various leftist thinkers, theories, and political outlooks.

But, other than that, we believe there are other important reads that must be addressed, especially, for beginners and those just now getting into leftism.

Don't forget to check out >>>/edu/ for more reading and discussion!

a good rule of thumb with book piracy is that smaller file sizes when it comes to pdfs are preferable

Also, try going for epub and mobi file formats. if you're using a kindle, you can convert epub to being compatible with the device using the "send to kindle" function on Amazon or just convert them using a third party site.



 

Labour is still set to sweep into power with an overwhelming majority with support from most of the media and little scrutiny. Their manifesto pledges now confirmed - which will they stick to I wonder? Probably only the one about corporation tax.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/uk-politics-69111362

<NHS: "Cut NHS waiting times with 40,000 more appointments each week, during evenings and weekends, paid for by cracking down on tax avoidance and non-dom loopholes"


<Immigration: "Launch a new Border Security Command with hundreds of new specialist investigators and use counter-terror powers to smash criminal boat gangs"


<Tax: "We will not increase National Insurance, the basic, higher, or additional rates of Income Tax, or VAT" and "Labour will cap corporation tax at the current level of 25%, the lowest in the G7, for the entire Parliament"


<Energy: "Set up Great British Energy, a publicly-owned clean power company… paid for by a windfall tax on oil and gas giants"


<Antisocial behaviour: "Crack down on antisocial behaviour, with more neighbourhood police paid for by ending wasteful contracts, tough new penalties for offenders, and a new network of youth hubs"


<Education: "Recruit 6,500 new teachers in key subjects… paid for by ending tax breaks for private schools."

A thread for Brits to discuss green energy, the psychology of homosexuality, JK Rowling, and prisoners having sex with wardens

Also there's an election going on but everyone got bored of it a week ago because they go on for too long, maybe someone will do a cytube for it if anyone even remembers it's happening

Not the way it's practised by someone like Galloway. Do you think LGBTQ is natural? No. Do you want to have straight pride and go to war with them? Also no. Just promote worker interests.

>a third of Tory voters went to Reform
It's an absolute stain on the character of the British left that a similar phenomenon has not happened with the Workers Party.
>assuming that won't be replicated
It very likely will, because Farage is an MP now. Last time he got elected (to the European Parliament) he kept his seat for 21 years and only took 17 of those to get a referendum on something the establishment did not want to change. The only weakness Reform have is their reliance on his cult of personality, but they will live at least as long as he does.
The only comparable figure on the left is Galloway, but he is 10 years older so he doesn't have as much time left to build a serious party structure around him. Corbyn is even older.
>Labour are fucked in 2029
If you want this to be true you have to get some young talent into left wing alternatives and get seriously organised. It won't just happen on its own.

Anyone who cheerleads this war on should be sent to fight in it


>>597009
Prick was a British officer so of course his instinct is to order men to charge at the machine guns and then canonise them as lions once the inevitable happens. Literally anything he says or genuinely thinks about war naturally precludes his own participation.

The Suez canal is not even important. Right?

>Rishi Sunak has taken an astonishing gamble in going for a general election at a time when there is still a little room to delay and the governing party is in such poor shape with public opinion.

>The Guardian’s poll of polls shows Labour 21.7 points ahead of the Conservatives, with 44.7% of the vote to 22.9%. Poll leads of more than 20 points are usually only seen at exceptionally bad moments in the midterm.


>Labour’s poll lead now is a little narrower than it was at the equivalent stage of the contest in 1997. Support for both the main parties is down on 1997, with Reform UK (11.5%) and the Green party (6.5%) picking up. The swing since the December 2019 election is a mammoth 16.8 percentage points; the previous postwar record was the 1997 swing of 10 points.

populist/populism has been meaningless for a while. the slight "know it when you see it" quality is offset by just how many disparate movements different people vaguely want to align with the term. (like yeah, rhetorically Blair was often very similar to UKIP or the BNP on immigration, so sure, draw a line connecting the two, but then how do you reconcile slapping that label on the SNP or Corbyn without making it meaningless?)

I'll never get over the Workers Party's logo looking like a generic authoritarian faction symbol from a video game.

it's incredible the degree to which this country coasts along like nothing is amiss, enjoying the delusion that if nobody touches anything "growth" will save us.

I'm going to smash my skull against a brick wall I can't take this anymore. This 'labor aristocracy' crap is one of the most pervasive and pernicious myths out there. The way it is used today bears almost no relation to the way it was used by, say, Lenin. It bears no relation at all to the manner in Engels used it either, who made it clear that he was referring to a section of highly skilled laborers that commanded exclusive control over the trade unions at a time, a tendency that disappeared in his lifetime itself.

J. Sakai and his consequences have been a disaster.

Anyone using the liberal definition of imperialism that isn't even close to Lenin's (who rejected applying it to individual actors in the first place) despite constantly dropping his name demonstrates a child's understanding of the state, politics and national competition. Bonus points when they invoke moral judgements.

>>591461
Capitalist nations I arbitrarily define as bad in some way ('settler colonial') should not exist. Other capitalist nations however are perfectly fine and can carry on.

>>591482
>>591487
None of them can even coherently define it without lapsing into metaphysical notions about nationality and migration. Even the 'very clear' description posted by Mickey Duck uses vague phrases like 'seeking a homeland' and doesn't even touch concretely upon class relations.

I could use these ill-defined historical parameters to say that Cornwall is being settler-colonized by the English and hence needs 'freedom' (i.e. its own independent bourgeois state):

<Can't believe they're just going to deny the Cxrnishx (PoC) struggle for national-democratic rejuvenation when unequal exchange is happening between Truro and London as we speak. What next, denying Jerriais independence? Fucking English chauvinists, literally Goebbelsian.
