A pretty good rule of thumb is to stop taking people seriously to the extent that they rely on identifying a "psychopath" or "sociopath" to explain events. I don't think this is even useful if you're talking about a serial killer, let alone a political enemy.

My latest book review looks at a collection of Leon Trotsky's writings "The Struggle Against Fascism in Germany". Written as Trotsky desperately tried to reorientate the left to defeat the Nazis. There is much in it of use for the socialist movement today. resolutereader.blogspot.com/2025/03/leon...

Fascinating paper. TL;DR the China shock provided cheap goods that expanded consumption for the poorest, but did not benefit people on middle incomes. Support for the far right driven - as it always has been - by the anxieties of the petite bourgeoisie.

Notably no objection to "paternalism" at all, just wanting to substitute one version of paternalism (talking down to the children) with another (giving the children what you have decided they want). Deeply contemptuous mindset towards "working class voters" underlying whatever particular policy.

I'd say these people live in a fantasy world where a trans person is ever going to go "You may think I'm an abomination who must be driven out of public life and are actively trying to make that happen, but what do we have in common?" but they don't think of trans people as actual people.

www.theguardian.com/news/2025/fe... this is kind of funny to be fair. After some huge chunk of the trump base boiled their brains into sludge over years with q anon conspiracies about sex traffickers, we now have an open alliance of the president of the united states with a celebrity sex trafficker

A few months ago Starmer said the £22B 'black hole' meant there was no alternative to cutting winter fuel payments to pensioners. Last month ministers warned more cuts in welfare might be unavoidable. Now Starmer says defence spending must increase. They can find funds for warfare but not welfare.

From fighting austerity to standing for Palestine, against racism & climate catastrophe we must unite struggles & build resistance. This is a step toward taking initiative away from the right & fighting for a left alternative based on struggle from below wedemandchange.uk

Reform UK takes votes from Tories and Labour in by-elections 👇But Labour's only solution is to lurch further to the right on immigration—which will further boost Reform UK

The utter failure of most of the left to make any kind of positive argument for immigration over the last 20+ years has laid the groundworks for this. It shouldn't be the exclusive preserve of revolutionary parties like the SWP to say that "refugees are welcome here" -- but that's where we are.
