Centrism / Liberalism is extremism. Absent of intellectual / moral red lines. Capable of anything to take power. UK Unions should disaffiliate. Stop funding Labour's austerity attacks on workers. Stop funding Labour's genocide facilitation. New Party.

When Govt ministers talk about the National Economy like its a household, the question is - do those ministers simply know nothing about economics or they know about economics and are just lying to the public?

More In Common UK polling says "Only 21% of Britons believe Labour's claim it's not returning to austerity". 1- Who are these 21%? 2- It's not an opinion - it's maths. 3- A 'return to austerity' would be a positive thing. @labouruk.bsky.social are maintaining austerity AND CUTTING MORE ON TOP.

At this point, it’s quicker to list who Labour AREN'T screwing over than who they are. 4 letter word. Begins with R. Ends with I-C-H.

Today Schumer says he refuses to step down. By extension the genocidal elite who control the party are not going anywhere. What is @sanders.senate.gov and @aoc.bsky.social 's plan to take wrestle control of the Democrat party from them? Rallies don't mean anything without material power.

I hate bluetooth as much as fascism. How is this standard still on products in 2025?

Everything real is made by the working class - the buildings, the tech, the food, the art, the systems. Nothing gets done without us. We don’t just labour - we invent, design, and move the world. Musk doesn't know how his rockets fly, let alone how a toilet flushes. But working class people do.

A millennial equivalent to Boomers/GenX claiming 'the end of racism' and the 2012 London Olympics as the pinnacle of British togetherness (assuming you weren't an ethnic minority or one of several million living below the poverty line at the time). Closely related to FBPE/Remain toxic vapidity.

millennials please. please stop this. we were supposed to be better than this

Centrism/liberalism adopts just enough progressive language to split, confuse and diffuse progressives - some take the bait, hoping words mean future action. This is always an error. Centrists/liberals never intend to deliver structural or fundamental change. Their language is a political PR game

We’ve heard “vote Blue” too many times - it led to genocide. This time, Bernie & AOC must be honest: how will support for them directly translate into POWER and CONTROL of the Democrat party? If they’re not saying how they’ll take control, it’s because they know they can’t — or won’t.

Have @sanders.senate.gov or @aoc.bsky.social said how they plan to take control of the Democratic Party from people like Chuck Schumer? Because w/o a real plan for power, they’re just campaigning for Schumer - rallying energy & outrage to hand it back to the pro-capital genocidal Democrat elite.

If Bernie Sanders tour/campaign results in “vote Democrat” - it’s just “vote blue no matter who”, but now featuring genocide and wrapped in an even more fake rhetoric. The last 10 years are the evidence. It is not possible to turn a capitalist party, controlled by capitalists, into anything else.

Hey, an occasional reminder: Should you be fighting fascism here in the US? Yes, you should! Are you the one who decides how best you can do that? Yes, you are! Should the people who decide that you're not doing it right (i.e., the way they want you to) fuck off into the sun? Yes, they should!

Polly Toynbee spent 2015–19 doing everything to turn people away from Corbyn's Labour. Then she breathlessly called Starmer 'forensic'. For what? To inflict worse cuts than the Tories. These ppl aren't serious. They're water carriers for centrist ideology. Don't let them cry now. It's too late.

#Unemployed kids with rich parents travel the world and start 'influencer' accounts. Unemployed kids with poor parents get put through #Labour 's meat grinder. It's only one step removed from Soylent Green.

Shortly after posting about #centrism being an attack on the public imagination - the prevention of hope or ideas of an alternative to #inequality - I stumble upon this quote from David Graeber a man a greatly admire for his inquisitiveness, insight and gentleness.

People can only want what they can imagine. If they're beaten so thoroughly they can’t #imagine a world beyond #capitalistexploitation, they can't ask for better. Centrism exists to erase possibility — to strip leftwing ideas from politics & entrench freemarket capitalism as the only known reality

It would have been better to lose the election with a leftwing #Labour party than win with #Starmer neoliberal party. The messaging, public education, the dream of an alternative to inequality and exploitation — plus the resources, community building & networks — would remain to build on.
