I am thinking of joining Corbyn's SA. Taking the momentum pledge to grow the marrow of socialism on Corbyn's allotment of Britain, to reunite Eire and to nationalise everything in the country not nailed down. I dunno if I should. I would hate to be one of those people who claim to be "reds" and then join fucking Labour. But at the same time I don't want to sit on the sidelines.

We will probably never have a Provo shadow canceler and Provo leader of the opposition again. I want to get them in while the chance is there.

Maybe it's all just a beautiful dream though...

As Lenin pointed out in his book What is to be Done?, before the world can be transformed it is first necessary to dream....

You know socialists/communists/whatever are desperate when their last hope is a social democrat by the name of Corbyn. Seriously?

Maybe this makes me an evil right wing nationalist traitor to the left ( ) but if he failed at literally everything else but achieved the one single goal of freeing Ulster from the Prods then I would still consider him the best PM since Atlee. Maybe it is an older loyalty deep in my blood than the socialist one that calls out to me.

Not caring about ‘right’ and ‘left’, or ‘right’ and ‘wrong’, and choosing a path that leads to where You want to go is very wise. Welcome to “revolutionaries of the path”.

That's why his system was such a colossal failure. To change the world for the better we need to cut the bullshit, not manufacture it by the fuckton.

It is only through dreaming that you can recognize the bullshit. It removes you from the restrained thinking of your propaganda filled life.

You mean critical thinking. It is only through critical thinking that you can recognize the bullshit. Dreaming is the basis for all the asshole systems that have ever ruled the world. Critical thinking was what brought down all previous asshole systems. Dreaming was the the inception of all the current asshole systems like state collectivism that are making people miserable. Even now the dreamers are conjuring up new asshole systems like anarcho-capitalism and technocracy which will perpetuate misery for generations to come. Dreaming is for assholes and idiots.

I get your point. I believe my attempts at critical thinking are inspired by my day dreaming and perhaps impossible without it, but I understand where you are coming from.
Edit: @Sivad I had someone call me a ‘clear thinker’ once and I was highly complimented. I prefer it to ‘critical thinker’.

Indeed there is and not only in you. It's why communism will always devolve into something more akin to Stalinism than the utopia communists dream about.

But Stalinism is the utopia I dream about.

I know but I hope it's obvious that most people, including self-identified communists, don't.
