    The neoliberals are not actually leftist. This is a 100% fact, if you are arguing that the capitalists are leftists then you are also not a leftist. They are centre right. The transphobic neoliberals and privatizers trying to destroy the nhs and build a “free and open” energy market for the sake of preventing our attempts at nationalisation can eat my ass, so can their by-association transphobic mysogynistic supporters. You can get to fuck with your “yeah they’re actually toooootally leftists dude belieeeeeve me” bullcrap. It is unbelievable that you would mention New Labour under Tony Blair, a party that killed 2 million people and exploited the fuck out of the middle east and continue to pretend that you are left wing, you are not, you are an imperialist, capitalist neoliberal.

    It is blatantly clear why you didn’t answer the question about what union you’re in and did not cite any organising, you don’t do any for the left and you’ve made that abundantly clear to anyone that knows these parties and groups. The only reason you have any votes at all is because the majority of people here are americans and they have absolutely no fucking idea what we’re talking about now.

    All they need to know is that you support neoliberals. The crowd here definitely knows neoliberalism isn’t leftist.

    No surprises that this conversation started off with you trying to discredit me by screeching “tankie”, you knew that if you made it clear what your actual political affiliations are and made a real political argument it would be unpopular.

      I’m a different user to the guy you were originally having a conversation with.

      No need to get so personal!

        Oh well doesn’t change much does it?

        There is nothing personal about pointing out your support for transphobes. It’s just a political fact. If you don’t want to be a transphobe, do not support transphobes. Much like if you don’t want to be called a neoliberal, don’t defend neoliberals, and definitely don’t try to claim they’re left. You’d get laughed out the room in any offline scenario.

          I’m not a transphobe and you have no information on which to base that assumption. If you call everyone a transphobe it ceases to have any meaning and you have nothing left for when someone is being actually transphobic.

            You support Starmer. Starmer’s labour is transphobic, he has given interviews to mumsnet where he says explicitly terf things. He has explicitly come out in favour of segregating trans people from women’s bathrooms and other spaces. You support this. Ergo you are transphobic. The party needs shot of him he’s a disgrace.
