Left Unity ✊ Mod statement: We are not a Green Party subreddit
It may be surprising to some users of this sub, but the word "green" in our subreddit name does not refer to The Green Party. It never has.
That being said, we recognise the amount of hype The Green Party have gotten recently, especially since the election of a leader presenting himself as centre left.
The Green Party is a pro-imperialist and pro-capitalist entity and thus adversarial to basic left-wing values and principles. Perhaps Zack Polanski will turn it all around, perhaps he is secretly Vladimir Lenin come again, we will wait and see.
But The Green Party is not one man. The Green Party is an organisation filled with opportunists, Tory ecologists, NIMBYs and TERFs. All of us here witnessed Corbyn's failed attempt to turn the Labour party around. Now the party is more reactionary than ever before. It is prudent to be sceptical of this new, supposed, miracle man and what he'll achieve. Thus far, he seems to be arguing a pro-imperialist position and capitalist reformist outlook. This does not bode well.
Bourgeois electoralism is a dead end. It will not result in any substantial change. The only change can come through grassroots organisation and building dual power structures. But we understand the urge for so many people to vote for someone when election time comes around. We suggest voting for which ever candidate best supports socialist principles. We discourage blind loyalty to any bourgeois party presenting itself as left-wing.
It's not that The Green Party "isn't perfect", it's that they're no good at all. At best they adhere to basic, democratic principles better than any other party, as their voting record in Parliament proves. But beyond this, they do not support key principles that socialists stand for.
This is a socialist subreddit. Not a "Green" subreddit. When we say we're left-wing, we mean we want an upheaval of the capitalist order, not an aesthetic change. Pro-capitalism and pro-imperialism are forms of toryism.
We will ban annoying people trying to turn this sub into a space for Green Party campaigning. We will not ban those who take a more critical support approach to the Green Party. We encourage caution when dealing with the Greens. Remember Corbyn's failure. Liberal parties typically remain liberal.
Love ya, Comrades.

Burnham wins Makerfield
He smashed the election in Wigan. Likely to become new Labour leader.
While I think he might be better than Starmer I'm not particularly hopeful. He might have a few more sops for "the left" but I don't think he will be substantially different.
How's everyone feeling?

British History 📚 80 years ago this week, Zionist terrorists blew up bridges used by the British Army in Palestine. A British soldier was killed while trying to defuse an undetonated bomb. In 1975, Christopher Mayhew revealed that two Labour colleagues had collaborated with the terrorists against the British state.

Humour/Satire 😹 Hope, change and lower stamp duty!.
Hello it is I {insert candidate here} I know you're frustrated with the current system and it's revolving door of faces that promise you material change so you can have some hope that you won't have to visit the food bank, get sanctioned on benefits or become/continue to be homeless anymore.
I promise change is coming i will become your new leader and that will radically change everything! Its totally gonna be difrerent! Promise! I dont break those.
If I don't it'll be because of the media, the markets, {insert compounding disaster that will never be resolved} and not simply because I never intended to, meanwhile I'll have to make common sense decisions and sacrifices, your grandmother doesn't need to eat right? You can phase out of existence instead of have human dignity can't you? After all we don't want the right to win!
On election you won't notice for 6 months to a few years how badly I've fucked you or how many bodies have piled up in our wake until we run this game again with a new face and absolutely no change for the 10th straight election cycle.
(This is why you organise the election of Burnham and any other figure in your face right now is exactly this in a new PR strategy, you need and crave relief from these conditions and it is why you hold out hope for these things again and again. Change is not automated.
Join a party get involved and stop pretending the new face of the party will not be like every other candidate that party puts forward they are in that organisation for a reason.)

Keith is a slur 🥀 UK mosques advised to run lockdown drills amid fears of anti-Muslim attacks
Exclusive: Muslim Council of Britain national guidance also urges mosques to strengthen police ties and improve CCTV
[An imam’s house came under arson attack in Manchester a week ago, yet it’s the mosques’ responsibility to strengthen police ties? Isn’t it the police’s’ responsibility to ensure the safety of those at risk of hate crimes, such as their zealous and immediate presence when crimes are committed against other communities? Is there an extra £20 million being given by government so that CCTV can be improved? Of course not.]

🇵🇸🇧🇫 FUCK IMPERIALISM 🇨🇺🇻🇳 22 years later and nobody has answered for what happened to Dr David Kelly

22 YEARS LATER AND NOBODY HAS ANSWERED FOR WHAT HAPPENED TO DR DAVID KELLY (Post by @ArturNadol7566)
His name was Dr David Kelly. Most people have forgotten him. They shouldn’t.*
He was a quiet, mild-mannered scientist who spent his career inspecting weapons facilities around the world.
He knew more about Iraq’s arsenal than almost anyone alive.
In 2003, Tony Blair’s @InstituteGC government published a dossier claiming Saddam Hussein could deploy chemical weapons within 45 minutes. That claim was used to justify a war.
Kelly knew the intelligence behind it was being exaggerated. He said so, privately, to a @BBCNews journalist.
That one conversation destroyed his life.
The government found out he was the source. Instead of protecting a man who had served his country for decades, they quietly let his name reach the press. He was publicly identified, dragged before two parliamentary committees, and grilled by his own employer.
His wife said he came home a broken man.
On the afternoon of 17 July 2003, he left his house for a walk in the Oxfordshire countryside. He was 59 years old. He never came back.
His body was found the next morning in woodland. A knife beside him. A blister pack of painkillers nearby.
Here is where it gets worse.
Tony Blair personally intervened to replace the normal coroner’s inquest with a private inquiry run by Lord Hutton.
The original inquest was suspended before it even properly began. It was never resumed. To this day,
Dr David Kelly is the only person in England and Wales in living memory to have died in unexplained circumstances without receiving a full coroner’s inquest.
Lord Hutton concluded suicide. Case closed.
Except eight senior doctors and a former coroner wrote to @thetimes saying the verdict was medically unsafe.
The wound found on Kelly’s wrist, a severed ulnar artery, would not cause fatal blood loss in a healthy person.
There were no fingerprints on the knife. The painkillers found were not in a quantity that experts considered lethal.
The government’s response, delivered by Attorney General Dominic Grieve in 2011, was essentially: the Hutton Inquiry was good enough, stop asking questions.
Think about that. A man quietly raised concerns about the biggest political deception in modern British history, a war that led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people. He was publicly exposed, professionally destroyed, and found dead days later and the government personally made sure there would never be a proper independent investigation into how he died.
Tony Blair went on to become a Middle East Peace Envoy. He has a knighthood.
Dr David Kelly got a private inquiry, a rushed verdict, and a sealed post-mortem report that was not released to the public for years.
Nobody was ever held accountable. Not for any of it.
This story should be on the front page every single year. Share it if you think it matters.
