Looks like the future is in our hands comrade, good luck whatever you do.

I wish I had a good answer for you, I dont have one, they all suck.

I've just stuck to doing direct action for activist groups at this point like with Living Rent or stuff around safe consumption rooms.

Well for one, they welcomed Benes Ayo, a National Bolshevik into their ranks. This should highlight the character and bottom of the barrel scraping this org has to resort to due to alienating the vast majority of the UK left for their insistence on parroting the UK upper classes lines on trans people.

At a time when the UK upper class is implementing segregation in for LGBT+ people, what the fuck are they thinking? It reminds me of the 'US Workers Party' that tried to stamp out Asian communists in the wild west era, or white labour organisers undermining black comrades during Jim Crow era in hope of gaining the upper classes approval, and benefits for enforcing segregation.

Are we seeking the upper classes approval for concessions, or are we communists?

Any org that tolerates open Nazbol's needs to be dismantled.

Tommy Sheridan is self evident from learning about his court cases and sexual harrassment, both represent dinasours of a time of the UK literally no one wants to return too but them (Social Dem era, 1960s-1990s, when gays got sectioned and women could be legally raped, couldnt have bank accounts or drink in pubs)

They direct confused centrists into their orgs by being 'the' communist parties already established and then make socialist progress more difficult by alienating anyone who tries to interact with their orgs in good faith by refusing to remove problematic people from positions of power.

I dont think I agree with you here, when we post any large news org its with an understanding that its just a single slice of perspective on an issue - we should know better as communists that these orgs are always highly biased. Al Jazeera just tends to be the one we goto because it at least presents something closer to the center with the Palestine/Isreal conflict and has some inherent, but narrow value in understanding a vector of the situation. This doesnt excuse anything else they have done, and im sure most of us agree with that.

But with the CPG-ML party when we post stuff thats meant to be 'on side' it is seen more as an endorsement of an orgs views and should be held to a higher standard of critique otherwise we're open to opportunist reactionaries trying to do entryism into us, our party lines are non-negotiable when it comes to trans people and that should go without saying.

Fully on board with smacking down and censoring all CPGB-ML output, to anyone not familiar with British leftist organizing this stance might seem confusing, but trust me when saying this as a lifetime ML-organizer in the UK, they deserve to be fully and unquestionably censored from this platform.

I would genuinely put the failure for any communist party to launch in the last 50 years directly in there (and Tommy Sheridans) hands.

If you would like me to elaborate further on this I'd be happy to do so, but for brevity this is the sum of my opinion.

I tell people im an Anarchist all the time if I think they are likely to be the type of person to be affected by the mind terminating cliche of marxist=tankie=fascist.

I dont feel bad about it, im an Communist-Anarchist and an ML anyway, (I know its a lot but shit, its just the range of ideology where im like, yeah core principles are good) I could work with either and would be fine with either ideology getting us past the finish line. I have issues with anarchists who are anti-communist, but if they havent got an issue with me I havent got one with them - we want the same thing after all.

People are already dying, we're helping the people killing them.

Go wring your hands against imaginary enemies elsewhere.

so what, we've been doing spy plane targeting for them and meeting IDF generals to discuss how we're going to best stamp down on Palestine activism, any damage helps.

Iraq and Yemen are the only two countries likely to do anything.

If it was global disarm the whole thing and just keep nuclear research as an energy thing, no one should have that much destructive power.

We should follow the Sankara line, once the revolution is complete, non-violence. Otherwise why did we fight? To put on the boot?
