We, who long for a better life, now need to understand what has been stolen again from us, & where we actually are.

Far, far too many people still secretly hope for the Labour Party to rise again, or even more bizarrely, for a "progressive alliance" - whatever the fuck that is.
Reality needs to bite. Because the vast majority of us have done sweet fuck all in the last two years to change the terms of trade, we need to face the fact of another two terms of Tory government.

Because that is the reality, not the myth that most of us nurture.
If we want #Socialism , the mighty oak #Socialism , with #SHADEFORALL , we are going to have to grow it from the acorns that the bravest and best amongst us HAVE ALREADY created. There IS no messiah, no magic leader - that is a wastrel myth.

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻👍🏻❤️
WE ARE THE LEADERS NOW.

You want somebody do do something about food banks? 🤔

Look in the fucking mirror.

You want somebody to do something about homelessness??? 🤔

Look in the fucking mirror.

You want poverty to end??? 🤔

#Lookinthemirror #Bethechangeyouwanttosee.
So, become a #SocialistGardener !

Become the father/mother who grows the tree, so that their children, & their friends might enjoy #SHADEFORALL .

"The girl that I will marry
Will have a heart so wise
That in the hollow of her eye's
My heart will want to tarry 🎵🎶🎵_ 🎵🎶🎵

"The girl who will be mine
Will have skin so soft and tender
And when it comes December
Her skin will be my wine
And me I'll love her so
And she, she will love me
And our hearts burning slow
For at least a century ... 🎵🎶🎵_🎵🎶🎵

🧵
"Through the window of life
We will go as girl and boy
To become man and wife
To become one with joy -

'No, it isn't you! 🎵🎵.
The girl that I will marry
No, it isn't you!' 🎵🎵.

A long 🧵 😊😊😊✊🏻👍🏻❤️

THIS is the reality, of ACTUAL VOTES, ON THE GROUND. The core Tory vote, on a reasonable day, is around 13 m.

The Labour coalition has only ever matched that once, when bad Karma and the Lib Dems decimated the Tory vote in 1997. 🧵1/11 Image
Labour threatened that in 2017, but failed to match it, through treachery at the Southside head office, when funds, resources and support were poured into the West Midlands to shore up the right wingers.

Labour were just 2,227 votes short of an overall majority. 🧵 2/11 Image
If you take careful note, you will see that the Labour vote is on a fairly consistent diminishing curve - going downwards at an ever faster rate - interrupted, as I say, by Karma and LibDems in 1997, & the remarkable 2017 Manifesto, which briefly rallied people's hopes. 🧵 3/11

Right. There are THREE separate processes that take place #ONTHEGROUND in an Election, and we on the #Socialist side are as yet not too clear about what exactly the are, or what they are really for! 😊😊😊🤔

A brief thread.🧵 Image
Firstly, there is #LEAFLETTING.

This is the simple #DISSEMINATIONOFINFORMATION: message, manifesto or major campaign issue.

Pros: simple, can be achieved by few, good coverage.

Cons: goes straight in the bin, also can annoy.

🧵 Image
Secondly, there is #DOORKNOCKING.

This is #ENGAGEMENT; all-out proselytisation - the #SELLING of the policies of the party, the qualities of the candidate and basically reaching out to each member of the electorate! 😊😊😊🫱🏼‍🫲🏻🫱🏼‍🫲🏻🫱🏼‍🫲🏻

#ProportionalRepresentation - a thread: 🧵

Many so-called "progressives" openly espouse the cause of PR, having been fooled into believing that is is somehow "fairer". 😒😒😒

More on this, later.
But, it is not - is is a recipe for fragmentation, and is the #Establishments best weapon against #WorkingClass #Solidarity, and should be shunned by any #Socialist , worth their salt. 🤔

Look at Israel, and Italy, to see and understand the PR end game.

🧵
What PR DOES, and is DESIGNED to DO, is to funnel footloose votes towards the MIDDLE, and reinforce the so called #Centrists. It FRAGMENTS the big battalions of left and right, and gives WHOLLY DISPROPORTIONATE POWER, to the brokers of the central parties.

Love like there's no yesterday

- by Caitlin Johnstone

Love like there's no yesterday
like you're the first to ever love
like it's fresh and for the first time
because it is fresh and for the first time
and the illusion otherwise is just a trick of human perception
🧵
Love like a hermit crab that said fuck it
and cast aside its shell forever
Love like a three year-old rides a tricycle

Love like the nukes just started flying
Love like two middle aged bloggers
making out in the rain while Australia floods
Love like cobwebs and calliopes
🧵
Love like a geyser of starlings
pouring from your chest cave

We have to prepare for the Locals, and, as usual it will all be last minute, eh, @TUSCoalition ? Listen - I am not just having a pop - I know how difficult it all is. 😊

But we need to think, and plan, ahead - because ALL our cohorts will be very short of dosh.

🧵
We are planning to put up 100+ candidates, and that will require £60,000.00, one way or another.

Hopefully, @RMTunion and @BFAWUOfficial will help underwrite this?
