Anyone who calls a socialist an enemy of ordinary people is an enemy of ordinary people – because socialism is precisely about protecting ordinary people.

Lie about that and what else will you lie about?

Lie about socialism and it’s likely you don’t give a f*** about ordinary people; you’re just a puppet of the establishment, a mouthpiece of the toffs.

Anyone who calls a socialist an enemy of the economy is an enemy of the economy – because any fool knows the economy's real enemies are those who strip it of its assets and hoover up its wealth.

Anyone who calls a socialist unpatriotic is unpatriotic–because socialists believe NO ONE ANYWHERE deserves suffering or harm.

Who could love their countryfolk more than that?

Only anti-patriots would attack those who love the people of their nation.

Anyone who calls an antifascist an anarchist, meaning this as an insult, is a fool – because they don’t even know what the two words mean.

Anyone who attacks people who care about other people, calling them ‘woke’ or ‘strident’ or ‘leftie’, clearly doesn’t care about other people – so why give a f*** what they say?

Anyone who slurs or smears the pragmatic, compassionate policies of democratic socialists, calling them ‘loony’ or ‘extreme’ or ‘dangerous’, is an extremist – because democratic socialism is at the very heart of common sense.

Anyone who calls an antiracist an antisemite is a racist – because an antiracist can’t be an antisemite – it’s a contradiction in terms.

What motive can there be for undermining the clarity of antiracism but racism itself?

#Antisemitism

Anyone who calls an antiracist an antisemite is a racist – because to attack any antiracist encourages racists; and who would encourage racists except a racist?

Anyone who calls an antiracist an antisemite is a racist – because to suggest there’s a hierarchy of racism, where antisemitism is DIFFERENT, implies a racist exceptionalism. Antiracists believe ALL racism is bad.

Anyone who rubbishes climate activists by one smear or another is a traitor to humanity – to our children and to their children – because if the climate is f***ed then we’re all f***ed.

No voice urging caution can be too loud.

Anyone who attacks those who expose the abuses of power is missing the point. Smearing or whataboutism isn’t the point.

The point is that abuses of power must always be exposed.

Anyone who attacks a moral person is an immoral person. Those who attack moral people have immoral intentions they’re desperate to hide.

A moral society – a socialist society – puts people first.
Not wealth.
Not power.
Not nation states.
Not archaic forms of govt or law.
Not royal families or venerable castes.
People.
Ordinary people.
Us.

That’s what morality is.
That’s why we’re socialists, environmentalists and humanists.
Because we care.
