Yes. And yes he was shit on Corbyn. He bought into the antisemitism crap fully and wholly.
There are lots of people who advocate for communism that aren't good at analysis and aren't perfect. He does so just about as openly as anyone can.
Frankie Boyle literally pivoted away from the crimes of Israel to talk shit about Corbyn. And then he wrote fucking think pieces about how actually all the people who smeared Corbyn are to blame for Keir Starmer being a shit. Until he apologizes or someone punches him in the face I can't move past that.
Yeah I don't blame you for that either
You can buy 'I'm literally a communist' jewelry from the Novara store, the same people who employ the likes of Aaron Bastani.
On an island where most of the self professed 'communists' are terfs its worth being critical about who they associate with and why.
I didn't say not to be critical of them? I feel like you're not actually reading what I say. I agree with you.
I don't see the value in any/critical support of opportunists like FB, especially if trying to radicalise people.
Half the userbase of this site only exists because of Bernie Sanders and you don't see the value opportunists can have?
I think you should take a step back and look at things in a holistic way. Big picture.
