Britain’s participation in the war against Iran is criminal. This is an illegal war for regime change, waged against an oppressed country. Once again, a Labour government staffed by political criminals is dragging the country into a US-led war for oil. What is needed is a fight for socialist internationalism among workers of all countries. Not moral appeals to a Labour government which has none. Contact the Socialist Equality Party, join us and take up the fight of your lives. #NoWarOnIran #Socialism

Notes from a Resident Doctor: "A typical 12.5-hour weekend shift for me now means a marathon ward round of around 50 patients, which can finish as late as 5pm. We have one registrar and one junior to cover the whole of general surgery.

No socialist movement can be built without waging political war against these forces. What has been squashed in the working class by the politics of adaptation, subservience and apologia can be animated by the politics of intransigence, rebellion and ruthless criticism.

Corbyn represents a social milieu and political apparatus which has bedevilled the British working class for decades, an amalgam of the anti-socialist Labourism of the Fabian Society and the anti-socialist Stalinism of the Morning Star. wsws.org/en/articles/20…

This is the standard anti-socialist trope: that the working class is too right-wing or stupid to respond to serious left-wing politics and the only way to succeed politically is to abandon such “sectarian” aims.

Your Party’s future is in the balance. The choice: 🅰️A mass socialist party rooted in a broad social alliance with the working class at its heart 🅱️A fringe party shouting from the sidelines If you want 🅰️ you need to elect @jeremycorbyn and @TheManyYP.

● Organise meetings on campus to prepare a cross-campus campaign in defence of the PA prisoners. ● Take the campaign to the workplaces, encouraging and collaborating with workers to mount protests in defiance of their Labour Party-aligned trade union leaderships. ● Contact the IYSSE for assistance and send videos and messages of support to be published on the WSWS.

A counteroffensive in defence of democratic and social rights and against war and genocide cannot be left to the heroic self-sacrifice of a few. Their cause is the cause of the entire working class and student youth, which must be mobilised in their defence. The IYSSE urges students:

The IYSSE condemns the Labour Party war criminals responsible for this savagery and demands the immediate release of all political prisoners. It is not the opponents of genocide who are terrorists, but the Labour Party using the repressive powers of the state to frighten and silence its opponents. wsws.org/en/articles/20…

Stalinists--whose political tendency has spent decades relying on violence, intimidation, censorship and falsification to suppress genuine socialism--are horrified by Socialism AI. And they are, frankly, stupid enough to post "gotcha" answers which will only raise this revolutionary new tool in the estimation of all serious socialists.

There are a large number of people the Socialist Equality Party has spoken to over the last ten years who have agreed with us on a lot, but balked at our analysis of Corbynism. If you take anything from the experience of Your Party's anti-democratic, anti-socialist founding congress, it should be to take another serious look at what we've had to say.

"None of this is changed, or will be changed in the future, by the immediate and universal support for this initiative given by numerous pseudo-left tendencies which profess to be revolutionary. The role of groups such as the Socialist Workers Party (SWP), Revolutionary Communist Party (RCP) and Socialist Party (SP) will be as cheerleaders and apologists for this new reformist party. It is they who will adapt to the politics of Corbyn, and not the other way around."

As we wrote in our first comment, the Corbynite apparatus "will be charged with managing the inaugural party conference so that only a lowest-common-denominator programme is adopted, largely based on the minimal social reforms included in Labour’s 2017 and 2019 general election manifestos under Corbyn...
