    By the grand coalition of anarchists and anti capitalists.

    Any minute now...can you not hear the rallying cry of their seething mass of political justice? Only they, and they alone can decide what is an acceptable form of dissent, of political action, of challenge. Only they can decide that if there is not to be a complete dismantling of capitalism without any process, gradual change, setbacks, compromises, and general obstacles, then you may as well just let the whole system continue uncontested,

    then yes, the Great Wise Historian, with his infinite capacity to compare events past and present (without confirmation bias of course), will decide what counts as a worthy or unworthy action, because he told you so!

    Alas, little did the Great Historian know about CREATING THE FUTURE, because his mental apparatus forbid such fancy, and nothing synthesised, or formed in new ways never predicted or thought possible...nay sir, these things were not to be discussed. Mere fancy, we shall have none of that!

    Enter stage left, Antonio Gramsci

    "The crisis consists precisely in the fact that the old is dying and the new cannot be born; in this interregnum a great variety of morbid symptoms appear."

    This is where we are, right now. An election victory for Labour will be SEEN across the WORLD as a CHALLENGE. irrespective of what happens, it is the IDEAS OF RESISTANCE AND CHALLENGE that a Lab victory would give energy to, this is where the real power lies. In the IDEA of a different world. It is the IDEA that comes first.

    Vote Labour.
