Wow conservatives in the UK are trying to dunk on them in the US. Here, they have but a a humble goal of taking us back to the 1950's. Y'all are trying to head back to the 1920's with this.

Watching this whole political fallout from this UK election has so many parallels to the fallout after Trump defeated Hillary.

"maybe if we throw a few ethnic minorities, immigrants, refugees, disabled people, LGBT people, and other persecuted people under the bus, we could have more electoral success"

Nah. That response just perpetuates the Alt-right talking point that Nazi's were actually left-wing socialists and not far right, and the right defeated them. No thanks.
I mean, the Strasserists existed. This is just continuing that proud and moronic tradition, IMO, with a new batch of people who don't realize they're expendable. They're not left-wing in any real sense, but not for lack of trying on their part. They just fundamentally misunderstand the leftist project.

Blue Labour is a thing already with a long history, I don't like it but I don't think the social conservative part was meant to be that Conservative.

I'm too down after the defeat to read whatever this is supposed to be

Yikes. Tbh I saw this coming, but I expected it in 6 months or so, not now. Some of this Chapo leftism and YtY guy are leaning that way

This is why I'm glad centrist policies are dead. There is middle ground on the right, you either fuck people over (right wing) or you help them (left). Compramising on that is an awful idea. Fuck conservatism.

You mean white people only support socialism when they're the only ones who will reap the benefits.

I'm shocked! Shocked about this revelation! If only there were countless studies that proves that!

One of the big lessons to take from this UK election cycle is that Twitter isn't the real world. Getting riled up over a tiny twitter account goes to show many people in these parts have refused to learn and want to continue making loud noises for their own sake.

The fuck is this? The dirtbag left would rather shoot their own parents before doing anything close to nationalist signifiers.
You are thinking of centrists, who couch their egoism and racism in "merits".

This is literally what I said would happen in the Election thread:

This election was about immigration. That's all it was ever about.

Northerners like socialist policies. They just don't like brown people.

I can guarantee most of them liked Corbyn's policies in isolation, but because he is perceived to be fond of Muslims and weak on immigration they would never vote for Labour any more.

For Labour to have any relevance in the North in the future, their leader needs to be a young charismatic man espousing strong socialist policies for the British people, while adopting a hard-line approach to immigration. I come from Stoke, the "Brexit Capital of the UK", and Brexit was a vote on immigration. Full stop.

Basically: the country is full of morons and is fucked

Hey it's that exact talking point I've been making the past few weeks about right-wing socialism.

Funny innit?

If these guys take over the party then you bet your ass I'm not considering any Labour candidate in the future, and I would hope anyone opposed to them joins another party.

Regardless, a big shift is coming in party politics over the coming years in the UK. Let's see where it ends up.

I'm surprised more people didn't point this out, since "Nazis were socialists!" is a common BS argument used by right wingers.
