Keir Starmer is cosying up to the EU just as green politics collapses across the continent. Will it give him the excuse he needs to put Ed Miliband and his Net Zero lunacy out of their misery, asks Ben Pile.

Like the Marvel franchise, with its unlimited instalments and spin-offs, a new Covid scare campaign is underway, says Rebekah Barnett. And as with Marvel, its purpose is largely to create demand for merchandise.

all desperately trying to pretend their politics are in any way relevent to the new global movements, they ought to be rolled in manure and thrown in the liffey for their pretentiousness.
Solidarity!
Good luck with the project people,good to see.As my friend above mentioned steer well clear of member-hungry political party,analyse 'em all if you must but don't be deceived,they see you as nothing more than fresh meat for the party ranks!
with the creativity and energy of your youth stand up for your beliefs
REFUSE! RESIST! CREATE!
course don't always listen to hurlers on the ditch either, you may find some common cause with the alphabet soup as well, the cynics are much better at recruiting than all the alphabet soup put together. Take everyone as you find them and make your own mind up.
you didn't mention you were into politics too, slimey, reminds me of the swp! should be more honest about your own politics before slagging off the others!
I was not slagging only offering words of encouragement. Why was is it dishonest of me not to meation my politics, I was not giving advise or criticism.

you forgot to add WSM and Organise to that list.
I left off WSM and Organise as they don't seem to be as hungry for members, actually allow members to engage in any amount of other activity outside the group - Including direct action, and aren't political parties who talk revolution until the elections come around.
Solidarity with the WSM and ORGANISE!
I'm guydebordisdead!
spers can do anything they want, if you opened your eyes out there you might meet them. Just cause they won't dress up as clowns (either the circa or black block type) doen't mean they won't take part in direct actions. (bin tax was the biggest yet) Probably the lack of uniform that's confusing you. They are also free to do anything they want outside the party and do, probably the only reason you didn't cop it was no one has tried to recruit you which is ironic. (but going by your mentality hardly suprising), enjoy your ra ra radicalism!!!!! college years are so so short.
sp recruited my younger sibling (considerably younger) she left within 6months because of the authoritarian bullshit.
Nothing radical about the SP and as free as they may be to engage in DA, they never actually seem to.
and my second cousin once removed was an anarchist for a month once but she dropped out because she couldn't get the hang of waggling her fingers in meetings and the dog on a string she was issued with gave her allergies.
a group of sy took part in direct action of a statoil station in wicklow. Direct action isn't everything, youth defence use direct action too, doesn't stop them from being reactionary bigots.
If you think standing outside with a placard is direct action then your just as deluded as everyone thinks you are.
Of course direct action isn't everything - however TODAY are looking for direct action, hence the heads up.
stopping cars going in is an action, what we used to call a picket. (although there may be some new trendy word you like to use) And excatly the same action as practised by all the others involved including anarchists. SY also took part in the biggest and longest nvda in recent history in dublin a couple even getting locked up for it. No costumes or trendy clothes just standing shoulder to shoulder with people and especially no masks, we are prepared to openly stand up for our beliefs. You shouldn't look down your nose at other working class people engaging in struggle, although you may not agree with all the politics you should try and see past your own sectish instincts and try not to prevent different groups working together. if today does get up and running sy would like to fraternally work with them on actions we can agree. And maybe even, dare we say it! discuss our politics, action is nothing without something behind it.

sper guydebordisdead isn't a student - shame. And he certainly isn't a WSM cheerleader. In fact this is definitely the first time I've heard or read him say anything positive about our organisation. I feel a little uncomfortable, guy, call us the anarcho-SWP again.

Cough cough Joan Collins Cough cough. I can cough a lot more if you want me to but my throat would get sore.
Incidently WSMers can't do anything they want either, but we don't pretend they can which is perhaps one reason why we've never had to expel any of our members.

Me:
WSM was also involved in this, fortunately none of our members got locked up. This was not an SP campaign even if some SPers might like to pretend it was.

Yeah having a fashion sense is so anti-working class. Real revolutionaries wear ill fitting clothes and rejoice in getting arrested - it acts as - what was it Lenin called it - an 'exposure'. These 'exposures' then act as a catalyst to fuel the growth of the mass workers revolutionary party which will lead the proletariat to communism. I mean socialism, we can't use the word communism or even think about the concept - it alienates 'ordinary people' and is 'ultra-leftist'. Shudder.

I don't think guy was looking down his nose at other working class people engaged in struggle. I'd imagine he was disagreeing with your politics and your practice. Working class fascists engage in struggle but that doesn't mean I'm going to work with them or refrain from discouraging young activists from working with them. And although I will work with Bolsheviks I really really don't want to and am not going to refrain from explaining to young activists why.
Let me finish like I have seen done before at a few Bolshevik meetings I've been at: with a few slogans.
Class first.
No to party dictatorships.
Death to the power of dead labour.
(The last one is a pun and may require you 'marxists' to go read some marx before replying to it.)
PS I'm just after re-reading this comment and I just want to say that I'm normally not this much of a prick and am generally a very polite person. I just hate Bolshevism.
