There is nothing progressive or 'pro-worker' about this position on immigration being taken by the Workers party in their election campaign. And there's certainly nothing clever about combining anti-worker rhetoric with what appear to be more progressive positions re imperialist war. This is, in fact, the definition of demagoguery: combining progressive demands with reactionary ones in order to lead the masses up the garden path. In this particular case, it's a pretty sordid attempt to get a few votes by pandering to anti-immigration prejudices. Winning votes by reinforcing pervasive bourgeois propaganda instead of doing the hard work of exposing those lies is the textbook definition of opportunism. That is: selling out the real, long-term interests of the working class in order to gain some short-term real or perceived gain. Quite a few of those who have signed up to promote this programme know well that the one of the most urgent tasks facing socialists in Britain today is that of opening the eyes of the masses to the ways in which they are kept divided (and are therefore also kept poor and under control). Immigration narratives are the oldest (and therefore most embedded) form of culture-wars, divide-and-rule propaganda. Their only purpose is to keep the working class fighting itself; to keep us punching down instead of punching up. Shame on all those parties and individuals who call themselves socialist and spout this filth. They are charlatans and traitors to their class. x.com/JesseWinney/st…



Saw this on TikTok, I didn’t realise Ricky Gervais had a side gig media training Reform councillors.
