This is why I love the internet, for such takes as “Jeremy Corbyn, former leader of the labour party that 40% of people (12.87million) voted for is a tankie”.

There certainly are tankies in the labour party and the british hard left. But all of the people above are the soft left, not remotely tankies. The issue is that american libs are so far right that you can’t differentiate between the demsocs and those of us that want and support revolution.

With that said if you want to see more communist representation in mainstream britain you’ll enjoy learning about the Durham Miner’s Gala which I made a short post on after attending the 137th year of it just a couple weeks ago.

You’re not getting communists out of mainstream european politics mate, communists built the entire labour movement, trade unionism wouldn’t exist without it. Ironically it’s also communists building your current american unions such as Amazon’s union, you just aren’t aware that people like Chris Smalls read Lenin because you’re not tuned into the underground american left.
