Armed revolution in the west has been impossible for a long time. We have been massively outgunned for decades. That doesn't been revolution is impossible though. It's currently highly unlikely but revolution doesn't have to take the form of armed struggle.

4/ So I guess I’m not so ‘good’ after all. I don’t pull the ladder up behind me. I don’t use my privilege to bash the unfortunate. I don’t express gratitude for an unjust society that punishes people for their suffering. I don’t shut up. I speak up. I hope you do too.

Agree with all of that except the name bit. Green is synominous with middle class yogurt weavers and puts off many. I vote Green.

Fwiw I would describe myself as Marxist and would advocate for the end of ownership and landorism. I am also a realist, that's not happening anytime soon. If we can get a more redistribitive tax system that taxes wealth and reduces inequality it would be a great step in the right direction.

So here in lies the rub you just don't like Garry. He is one of the few people on the left that actually gets cut through because he talks the language of ordinary people and doesn't get bogged down in rhetoric. It's no wonder we don't get anywhere on the left when so many insist on total purity.

property.Gary Stevenson works alot with Grace Blakely who describes herself as a Marxist.What Garry is pushing for is yes reformist as that's all that is achievable at the moment.We are not about to have a revolution,this country is not even close to that. Garry's broad appeal makes change possible

Sure but your definition is very purist and not what most democratic socialists advocate for. The Nordic countries were widely regarded as democratic socialist and never abolished private property. Corbyn is generally described as a Socialist and also doesn't push for the abolition of private

I didn't say he was a revolutionary.

Redistribution of wealth and the end of inequality. Is literally his whole thing. Which is a fundamental of democratic socialism.

No neither. He has been successful in building a broad, diverse followering. Done by sticking to economics and not being overtly political.He will try and influence whoever has power to adopt policies that will help ordinary people. Right now that's Labour.His policies are clearly socialist however

It's £5/month or £1.50 concessionary. And you can cancel your direct debit any time you like. So no you won't get a refund but you will get a vote and if you don't like it you can leave and it will have cost you no more than £10.

Will be decided at conference and by member voting. Join and you can have a say.

Algorithms make propaganda far more effective than it has ever been in the past. The shear amount of information make in possible to peddle lies and fake news easily. Sure you can leave the big sites but most won't. The point is to be were everybody else is.

They own and control all of the main social media platforms and the main search engines. The vast majority of people access the Internet through social media. The idea that the Internet is going set free has been consigned to the dustbin of history. The reality is it has made things much worse.

Jamie Driscoll, Andrew Feinstein and Beth Winter are all only really active on Twitter. Alot of the independent left media is also still mostly on Twitter. Lots of very active socialist accounts from the Corbyn era are also still only Twitter.

Clearly it's not possible for everyone, and works best when organised collectively where there can be a fighting fund to support strikers. But it's the l most powerful force the working class have. We can't stop paying rent, mortgages, food or energy. Capitalism can't function without labour.

Sure the serial killers protestations of innocence are always a prima facie piece of evidence!🤣
