Saw a quote attributed to Chomsky about Starmer.
It read
" he is returning the Labour Party to a party that is reliantly obedient to power, that will be Thatcher lite in the style of Blair and that wont ruffle the feathers of either the US or anyone who is important in Britain"
and here is a quote from Tony Benn
" If the Labour Party could be bullied or persuaded to denounce its Marxists, the media having tasted blood would demand next it expelled all the Socialists and reunited with the SDP to form a harmless alternative to the conservatives. Which would then now and again be allowed to take office when the conservatives fell out of favour
Thus British capitalism, it is argued, would be made safe forever and socialism squeezed off the national agenda.
But if such a strategy were to succeed ...it would in fact profoundly endanger British society for it would open the danger of a swing to the far right as we have seen in Europe over the last 50 years."
Chomsky and Benn are/were right and Starmer is taking us there full steam ahead.
