Keir Starmer

There's a lot of talk and interest about the election of Keir Starmer as Labour Party leader. This issue is nothing to be concerned about. Not worth your energy. If you want to help those in need, if you want actual progressive change, you will withdraw yourself from standard electoral politics.

Its very simple. Crystal clear. If you didn't learn from the most naked, vitriolic display of propaganda directed at Jeremy Corbyn, one of the few politicians who truly cares about the world, you may never learn. The more caring and progressive you are as a politician, the more you will be viciously demonised, even by members of your own party.

Lets remember that Mr Starmer, in 2016, was involved in the coup against Corbyn, his democratically elected leader. Starmer doesn't care about unifying the party. He doesn't respect Labour party members.

Though there may be some superficial benefits with a Starmer led Labour in power, relative to a Conservative government, the fundamental conditions of oppression will remain. If you want to adequately address issues that really matter, such as the climate and ecological crisis, perpetual war and the systematic oppression of working class people, then you will stop supporting immoral parties and politicians.

Now is not the time to dither and be hopeful. Now is the time to take action and be courageous. The only light in these dark times comes from civil disobedience. This, I believe, is the only means of tackling our significant societal problems.
