    Really? I had them down as more of a Khruschevite party

    Count me corrected, still doesn’t change the fact that they waste money on unwinnable elections and think that parliamentarianism+alliance with Labour will lead to Socialism

              Nah mate. My fellow activist recently tried applying this line axiomatically with an organised mass of anti-vaxxer people. Even if you go to these people open handed the fact of the matter is communism has 200 years of baggage against it these days. We have to adapt Marxism to our modern conditions, we can’t treat something Marx wrote in 1848 as a catechism.

              This is stupid and we’ve already gone against Marx in this respect. Every communist party since 1917 has done this.

                  I have a friend in Red Fightback. Good for you. But it means nothing to me what one’s ideals are, but the circumstances. Since we’re at least a few decades away from revolution, then I don’t want to hear anymore belly-aching over electoralism just because it’s respectable to do so on the Interent.

                    Of course don’t get me wrong I appreciate everything the CPB do and think their trade union links and food poverty programmes are an amazing example of things socialist parties should be doing

                    It’s really the TERFism and the sexual assault case that put me off, and the mutal aid+community focus makes me really respect Red Fightback

                    Any communist is a comrade of mine don’t let a silly internet argument fool you lol
