As leftist we really need to rename ourself as . Caring, considered, progressive, humanist. The "TAG" left is what used against people who care about others and want a better equal world. So we need to.change the political narrative. Leftist socialist principles are good, the "brand" is challenge

i disagree - greater numbers of the british population each year declare themselves as more sympathetic to socialism. when we confess ourselves as something other than we are, we step on a slippery slope of losing our principles

Then say socialist. Not leftist. For those who might not engage with politics language/linguistics matter.

The media will.say both are communism.

So social(ist) democratic is representing. As seen in Europe. Like Norway,. Sweden,.Finland
And they top freedom/happiness leagues

none of those are socialist countries, they rely on imperialism and free market capitalism, merely with a beefed up welfare state

The fact they have beefed up welfare states is the possibility socialism.

There need to be a pragmatic view that there is a dominant exominoc system and change has to occur in this to tilt it away for neoliberalism to a more socialist Keynesinist way.

Most are social Democrats, as for free market Capitlism. That is the hegemony of nearly all states. If not internally it is externally.

I note that in the speech the leader did not say "the party of the vulnerable".
the social model of disability is green party policy and members would do well to find out more about it
