Losing Momentum: Corbynism in the Rear-View Mirror

Submitted by Internationalis... on Nov 1 2019 09:32

The authors of this text are three young people who have been, at various times and various degrees, supporters of Jeremy Corbyn and the Labour Party under his leadership, and, having broken completely with the capital-L Labour movement, wish to share our critique thereof, in the hopes that some of our comrades and friends will follow us.

We look at the recent history of migration to the UK and the current discussion about migration and wage decline, in particular within the nation state policies of Labour.

Corbynism: Leftists Illusions about Labour

Submitted by Internationalis... on Aug 11 2017 17:11
