No future: the English Left in retrospect

The weak democratic systems we have are unlikely to survive the coming privations and challenges without being radically reformed. And no serious climate project, which must protect the survival of the whole species by changing how we work, travel, consume and recreate – our whole way of life – can work without mass public involvement.

Oh look it’s Richard "Lenin’s Tomb" Seymour! Let’s once again remind that he tried to take over the college-bullshit UK socialist party with China Mieville and Laurie Penny (cause student parties get real funding in the UK really the parallel here is the PIRGs) using rape-crisis hoodoo and then IMMEDIATELY got it schismed back out from him the same way

Twice today tried to google something I’d googled before and couldn’t find it

First, this classic comic on 90s net furry culture which in row 3 column 2 invokes the old concept of “furry gay” (as distinct from gender dysphoria, r1c2)

The 90s had a richer concept of pansexuality as, ah, undiscrimination

ANYWAY, the second was that Richard Seymour attempt to schism the SWP with Laurie Penny (and China Mieville, thus their faction were the “Sino-Seymourists”)

look out for those memory holes!

Whatever Happened to Cool Britannia?

Speaking of British pop!

(Do you remember Richard “Lenin’s Tomb” Seymour? Do you remember how, Hitchens-like, he smoothly picked up and dropped George Galloway and RESPECT? How he picked up and pretended to respect Laurie fucking Penny [that musta stung] to loudly schism the SWP out from under its leadership with collegiate “rape culture” culture? Do you remember how he went quiet as it immediately got schismed out from under him the same exact way? I do!)

(because I consider him someone worth keeping eyes on)

This probably comes a little late, but congratulations, Greece.

Can’t wait to see how Richard Seymour spins the referendum as a victory for Richard Seymour.
