Im saying the labour party in the UK. Their the UK equivalent of the Dems. Not the Uk as a whole.
Don’t have much useful advice. Just wanna send u hugs.
You should be able to use PIP for that purpose hopefully (unless Starmers cuts affect you but I think that’ll take a while).
Ur situation of navigating bureaucratic nightmare is all too common :(.
TIL left isn’t how everyone sees it.
Simpsons in 1994:
The thing is the lesser evil also sacrifices innocents.
Like in the UK, they basically just sacrificed trans people and disabled people.
I do vote for the lesser evil. But I don’t think we should simplify it so much. It risks minimising the harm the lesser evil does.
Do you have a social worker? Are you in a disability payments application process?
Sometimes they have wheelchair programs or discounts. Worth asking cuz wheelchair can come out expensive and often isn’t insured.
Labour is way past that. Kier Starmer has engorged himself with lobby funds so much he’s acting almost worse than the Conservative Party in the Uk.
Labour is a party of no one but capital.
And is literally eugenicist. What fucking “left wing”, party, cuts disability benefits, plunging an expected hundreds of thousands into poverty, than legalises assisted dying for disabled people. Within the same month.
That’s about as close to exterminating as you can get under neoliberal logic.
So basically, we have two factions in the DSA. One a pragmatic DemSocy who are compromisers. One an idealist who are probably better ideologically (ie. have better red lines vis à vis Israel). But aren’t very successful in being strategic within electoralism?
Trotsky. The guy who argued the Soviet Union was too authoritarian and bureaucratic. And was serving an unaccountable elite instead of the workers. Arguably much closer to the spirit of Marx than Stalin. Is the one everyone hates?
This meme is kinda tankie brained.
I don’t think that’s a good reason to like Stalin.
You could say something similar about Churchill vis à vis Nazis. Doesn’t change the fact he was a cunt.
Plus Stalin literally cooperated with Hitler to invade Poland, commiting atrocities in the process. So while I appreciate that the USSR is one of the, if not the, major reasons the Nazis fell, I don’t see it as out of good faith.
