The 2010s were a decade of foodbanks, riots, and the rebirth of political alternatives. Looking to escape a future of rising debt, falling living standards and climate meltdown, a set of movements were born across the globe, led by students, workers and the tent cities of Occupy.
A new wave of optimistic, radical young people were building mass movements outside the political bubble, rejecting the neo-liberal consensus and the enrichment of the 1%, and laying the foundations of a new left. Eight years later, Bernie Sanders was favorite to clinch the Democratic Party nomination, and Jeremy Corbyn and Momentum had taken over the Labour Party in Britain, promising ‘a new kind of politics’.
But as the new left poured into Labour, it was overwhelmed by older, institutional forces on both left and right. Four years after Corbyn became leader, after bitter-infighting and a Brexit-fuelled strategic crisis, it all fell apart.
This is the inside story of how the left came back to life in the 2010s, from a man who found himself at the centre of events - featuring unparalleled access and a range of interviews with key left-wing figures. Influential journalist and activist Michael Chessum explains how this movement was built, why it failed, and what it needs to do now.

Anybody to the right of Karl marx is right wing and should be eradicated from the earth. A good way to tell if someone is right wing is ask if they enjoy gay sex. If not, then immediatly attack them. Eventually if enough of us do this the world will be saved
February 12th, 2023
Written by a Guardianista ‘journalist’ no less - the principle paper implicated in the smearing of Jezza with the Fake AntiSemitism fiasco - is hardly likely to be objective. These are grifters who not only made a living dismantling the Corbyn project but then want two bites of the cherry by writing a book on how to fix things?! Bloody nerve. sure hope no one buys this dross.
We know how to fix things: ignore Zionist shills like you!

“A new wave of optimistic, radical young people”…. Yea, we’ve seen their optimism. Burning down a dozen cities, looting, destruction of thousands of peoples businesses, destroying law and order, lawlessness, chaos, sexualizing children, pedophilia, teaching communism, degenerates, schools giving little real education and teaching hate, kids graduating that have learned little of value and far worse.
Young radicals are supposed to be bringing new ideas, creating visions of a future that works, but todays leftists only want hate and destruction for everything. We know what the rest of us need to do.

@FreePalestine - Tankies gonna tank.
@Hogweed - Is this honestly how you live your life? You must be utterly terrified to leave the house. Unbelievable amounts of delusional paranoia.
February 13th, 2023
@Robbie22
You seem obsessed with gay sex. Time to come out of the closet?
February 13th, 2023
He can get quite mechanical & aroused about it. He excitedly gushes over positions & techniques, one of which he refers to as “The Brexit” - in which he is on the painful receiving end of a particularly rough shag from many of his betters, and he fails to attain any form of beneficial release. He says its how he feels “totally phcked” all the time. The Brexit, he calls it.
February 13th, 2023
It was all consensual, he hastens to add, at the imperious command of his wise superiors, who always have his best interests somewhere or other. In their pockets, most likely.
February 13th, 2023
Ah ceasar963 and tenbenson showing up at precisely the same time on the same books comments almost as if they are the same person to discuss me and imply I’m a closeted homosexual and that I enjoy a sexual position called the brexit.
Ceasar, that is actually quite witty for you. The brexit position must feel to many like being painfully and brutally sodomized by their betters. Betters being the winners of course. And to hear your pitiful whimpering as you take a damn good brexiting day in day out is strangely satisfying to me, a relief to know that whether my vote was right or wrong I finally gave you and everyone like you a roight royal hard shafting
February 13th, 2023
If I may take a serious note though here for a moment, how does it feel to know I baited you here, to this books comments section ? So I could laugh at you and your obvious second account tenbenson and you fell for it ?
I’m absolutely laughing at you, how pathetic. I pity you little potato man.
Your rapier wit and superior intelect surely cannot be fully unleashed and brought to Bere against me on the comments section of a pirate book site. Would you care to take our little tètetè to another platform where you can really unload on me ? Skype perhaps ? Just us, you can wear black bloc or balaclava like the IRA if you want. I won’t hide my face though. Come on, this is your chance to really unload on an imperialist, racist, homophobic brexit gammon.
Yay or nay ? Or are you a chicken ?
February 13th, 2023
We could start on an easy subject that I’ve already previously admitted I’m very ignorant and uneducated on such as the legacy of white colonialism and imperialism and its legacy in Africa, even Haiti ?
Oh you’ll run rings around me on that subject.
Just to get you warmed up before moving on to brexit, mass immigration and potatoes.
February 13th, 2023
Your Betters are the winners alright! Once again.
“There’s your 350 million for this week, you snivelling oik!” Jacob cries, as he loudly releases into a sobbing robbie, at the close of their weekly Brexit.
“But Master,” sobs a tearful, red-faced rob, “You promised us a load of money & jobs!”
“Well, I’ve given you the load, haven’t I, Brexit boy?” retorted Rob’s cruel master.
“Ever been had?!” laughed a departing Jake…
February 13th, 2023
Continued, with the bailiff’s possession order being served upon robbie’s…collection of…Stella cans?
February 13th, 2023
It must be said that Jacob cums across very poorly there. Whereas the red-faced rob takes it on the chin. Manfully.
February 13th, 2023
How Vile and disgusting of you to graphically describe the act of sodomization, insemination and likely HIV transmission as a metaphor for Brexit. However I can’t say I’m really shocked that you are so intimately knowledgeable on the act of sodomy and buggery. The question on our audiences minds is can you take a fisting ? Anally I mean ? Do you enjoy being worn like a puppet ?
And have you ever got anything stuck up there such as your own head ?
February 13th, 2023
mention my ‘betters’ that screw me, that’s what you are trying to say right ?
Allow me to to utterly agree with you. I’m under no illusion who my betters are. It’s YOU ! People like you, the morally superior. Like nicola sturgeon, Joe biden, Diane Abbott, John macdonald, aida h dee, Ilham omar, greta thunberg, hillary Clinton, Barack obongo, Angela Merkel, Jean Claude junker, macron, van der bellen, George soros, antifa and blm.
February 13th, 2023
So fancy arguing this out over Skype or something ? It’ll be fun
February 14th, 2023
As fun as your regular sess with Jacob, I’ll warrant.
Jake & you have HIV?! Too bad the NHS is phcked as well! Didn’t think of that either, eh?
Elementary sex ed time: there’s technically no “insemination” unless there’s a participating distaff involved. I was going to say “you know this,” but…
“a metaphor for Brexit” - Oh no, rob, that’s no metaphor. That’s the empirical process of Brexit in full, lurid action. “Get yer pants down, filthy oik! I’ve got other peasants to Brexit!”
“intimately knowledgeable” - It’s your chosen subject, mastermind.
“can you take a fisting?” - I dunno, would you recommend it? Based on your “whole hand” experience? And walking like the Brexit cowboy? The Marlboro Chav?
“being worn like a puppet? - Is that what you & Jakey call it? “Do wear me, virile master!” etc. etc.
“stuck up there such as your own head?” - What did they say to you in A&E? They had to obtain an injunction & restraining order against you in the end, didn’t they? “Lightbulb Man” they called you. You were shattered when they couldn’t retrieve all of it. Them’s the breaks, sparky. You were shocked when you initially inserted the 300w bulb - “Watt have I done!” you cried. “Did you not think to switch it off first?” asked the long-suffering doctor. “But I wanted to light up all my stomach Stella!” you painfully replied.
Is that just your current Hate List or a schedule of all the incessant voices in your head? Jean Claude Van Damme & that? You could quite literally do the splits for him now, with all your “Brexit” practice. You could make him sick into his mouth.
February 14th, 2023
…or on his delectable Belgian waffles. Have you been to Belgium? To churlishly shout at the poor locals? “Why can’t they speak the German king’s Ing-er-lish, like wot we evah so do, Pauline?!!”
February 14th, 2023
What a truly sick fag you are. I bet you are one of those who wank over little boys and hang around primary schools hoping to catch a glimpse of the little lads ya dirty peadophile. Did daddy pay you a little bit too much attention as s child ? Or was it a bunch of afghan refugees who miss the bachabazi dancing boys they enjoy sodomizing.
Did they shove a potato up your arse aswell ?
No wander you are such a pussy you may even have one if you are post op, except its just a gaping wound that needs dilating daily where your dick used to be.
February 14th, 2023
You do know a suspicious amount about this area (if nothing else!). “around primary schools” - Nobody needs any further, horrific insights into Robbie’s obsessions & daily routine. (”Learn nuffin’ - check; Get Brexited - check; Buy Stella for the 5 a day - check; Sob uncontrollably - check that; Get humiliated on net again - check³; Be even more racist - check!; Ceaselessly obsess over gays, for some odd reason - check; Spend time with soiled Jacob picture & deny gay feelings to self again - check & check; Murder grammar & logic - check; Mindlessly worship Betters - check; “Enjoy” zero self-awareness - oh, check; Try to visit A&E, or at least try to painfully pass remaining bulb fragments - pending; Purchase more bulbs - check; Buy additional Burberry, as current outfit is perished - check; Burn books - not possible, coz never seen a book, innit; Burn tabloid instead - check; Pester people for Stella money - check; Pester people for Stella - check; Inarticulate, enraged cry for help - check; Self-loathing - check; Wait outside school as per - risky, been spotted again, innit! Scatter!”)
And with that “busy” schedule, don’t continue to ignore your HIV. It’s not like it’s a rash or something, Lightbulb Man.
February 14th, 2023
And what’s that - “afghan bachabazi dancing boys” - what the hell are you on about?! You’ve done some serious hard research there, Lightbulb man! Probably a bit too much research. Brexit has addled what wits you may have had. Either that, or Jacob needs to Brexit some sense into you.
Put it away, rob, put it away.
And you “enjoy sodomizing” - ? - Stop, robbie, just stop. Quit while you’re “behind.”
February 14th, 2023
Truth hurts does it bum boy ? Probably not as much as being gang ass banged by 20 opium smoking taliban. This is good stuff, I can make at least two full podcasts with this material - insight into the mind of a mad potato man.
I’m sure I could come up with an even catchier title.
Libs of tiktok is very good if you havnt seen it, its a collection of crazy leftists, homosexuals, transexuals, peadophiles and other assorted head cases having meltdowns over such things as being denied access to children, trump, the supreme Court and other things leftists hate.
It’s truly fascinating and offers great insight into how your twisted minds work not to mention the immense comedic and entertainment value. You really should join me on Skype, I can make you famous, but of course being the pathetic keyboard warrior you are you havnt got the balls, literally in your case. I wander if all those gender bending hormones causes this behaviour or you are just insane.
February 14th, 2023
So many comments, so little point.
February 14th, 2023
“Truth hurts” as the A&E doctor said while you were trying to pass the bulb fragments. No judgment here, Lightbulb Man.
“Prob not as much as being gang bang by 20 opium smok talib” - Not saving that traumatic experience for your memoirs, “Broken in by my Brexit Betters” by A. Gimp? In amongst your beloved “afghan bachabazi dancing boys” ‘hard’ research & questionable anecdotes. And your painful accounts of “being constantly had” by your Betters, as you poignantly refer to it.
“being denied access to children” - because you’re always front of the sleazy queue?
Indeed you do offer “immense comedic value,” rob, what’s your show called? Are you finally able to monetise your endless pain?
“I can make you famous” - Are you famous, rob (not inclusive of the court appearances, injunctions, restraining orders, etc.)?
“pathetic keyboard warrior” - Familiar with the concepts of self-awareness & projection? On a related issue, what books are you enjoying at the moment - anything you can recommend? (And not any of your Gary Glitter “how to” stuff.) What brings you to a book site? Get lost on the way to your usual Hate Sites?
February 14th, 2023
@Robbie22
Hey Rob, we’re not the same person. Any cursory glance at the comments should tell you that.
It’s just that there’s more than one person on here that’s fascinated by your utter strangeness. There’s a battle going on in your head and there are definite winners and losers.
February 14th, 2023
I’m considerably cuddlier & satan-may-care.
February 14th, 2023
There’s probably an excess of harsh criticism of rob going around. Nobody’s perfect & the poor guy’s clearly struggling with his sexuality & on the verge of some big admission - hopefully not a full breakdown. He’s obviously internalised a great deal of societal & p’haps family disapproval of who & what he is, & is projecting all that aggression outwards. It’s textbook condemning in others what he knows to be in himself.
It sounds like he has some kind of colourful show that he wants others to appear on, maybe it’s somewhere he can flamboyantly express all that inner turmoil & fabulous creativity. An outlet for him to just be himself, without being censured or castigated. And I imagine a great deal of dancing. He did mention that he enjoys “afghan bachabazi dancing boys” or something. That he got “two full podcasts with this material.” You go, robbie! Dance like nobody’s watchin’ (which is more than likely the case, tbh).
No judgment here, rob, you need to know that. Everyone’s rootin’ for ya, & accepts your alternative lifestyle. It can’t be easy, and must be hard all the time.
February 14th, 2023
And I think you’ll find it’s the Somalians with heads that look like light bulbs. Seriously check out pictures of them, mugshots for example as they commit a disproportionate amount of crime but take a gander at Congress antisemite woman ilham omar’s head. Shaped like a light bulb !
They also have am incredibly low average IQ of 67.
February 14th, 2023
@tenbenson yes I’m very strange, you should see my lifestyle aswell. I have a biological female wife, my kids were born into their correct bodies and I’m one of those strange cis gendered heterosexual biological males. I also strangely have a driving licence, 2 cars, a motor cycle and a quad that all run on that ancient yet cheap and powerful fuel called petroleum. I buy my food instead if going to food banks with money I get from doing something called a ‘job’. I also went to college but unbelievably don’t have any high value qualifications such as gender studies, lesbian dance theory or afrocintrism studies. But the weirdest thing of all is that I’ve never had a same sex relationship or fantasise secretly about being sodomized. I also do lots of other strange things like visit other countries then return to the country I live in ! Neither am I on a cocktail of anti depressants and anti anxiety medication or otherwise make use of any mental health and addiction services probably due to being happy and content in my alternative lifestyle which to you must make me some medical abnormality. Sometimes I do wander what it’s like to be normal like you and ceasar but that seems like a nightmare to me, just as my abnormal lifestyle seems like a nightmare to you, ceasar and other normal people like you. Can’t we just respect each others lifestyles ? But if you you simply can’t tolerate me and mine I understand, fortunately I’m sealed off from you in a building called a house with a buffer zone front side and rear called a garden that has a fence all around it that keeps us separate.

@Robbie22 is a racist and needs banning. end of.
February 14th, 2023
Tankies gonna tank? This is a book on anarchism ffs lol
February 15th, 2023
@freepalestine and you are an antisemite so what’s the difference ? You need banning
You nazi scum. End of.
February 15th, 2023
What makes you believe that this is a bk on anarchism? Seems the tankie categorisation still a fortiori applies.
February 15th, 2023
@FreePalestine
Yes, you are a Tankie. And this is not a book on Anarchism.
Anything else to add?
February 15th, 2023
@Robbie22
For someone whose life is such a mainstream success, how do you find the time to write such regular reams of weird sexualised racist bile on a free audiobook website?
February 15th, 2023
@Robbie22
You have all of those things but you are desperately unhappy. Maybe you should try antidepressants/lesbian dance theory/sodomy?
Might make all the difference.
February 15th, 2023
@tenbenson arnt I allowed a few minutes here and there to access the Internet and write replies to people’s feeble attemps at insulting Me. And I think you’ll find it was ceasar who started about me getting brutal sidimized by someone he hates called jake. As for racism I’ve no idea what you are talking about. What about all the racism directed at me by ceasar, who as also labeled you a racist AND an imperialist eh ? I don’t care if the facts are racist, I dont care if you label me racist. In case you havnt noticed that word has been so overused as to be meaningless now but I assure you I’ve no hatred for those with darker skin tones.
And this isn’t a free audiobook site, these books are pirated and everyone you steal is taking money from the author.
February 15th, 2023
@ted why on earth do you think I’m unhappy ? After the great day and night I had with the family and wife later I can assure you I’m kicking it on cloud 9 chum. Nice projection though, I can feel your misery oozing through your words and I pity you so I’ve no need for drugs, anti depressants or the illegal kind, unlike you with your lesbian dance theory degree that you are in debt for umpteen thousands over and again unlike you I don’t need to have a fist tear my anus apart to feel happiness. And all that happiness started with a job, you can do the same if you apply yourself to reality.
February 15th, 2023
@Robbie22
So bizarre! You’re a legitimate test case sir, don’t ever change!
February 15th, 2023
@ten I find you and people like you utterly bizarre as well, I wander what it’s like to live your life, which is completely the opposite of mine. I don’t think I’m a test case though because billions of people for centuries live an almost identical and what you call a mainstream lifestyle so there is plenty to reference. It’s your lifestyle that is the test cases to see how your alternative woke life and ideology works out. Let’s ask radical hate filled ex first minister nicola sturgeon shall we ? Then jacinda adhern.
Please don’t change, the way it’s played out for them two was very entertaining.
February 16th, 2023
@caesar, @Robbie
You two should get a private (gay) room.
February 16th, 2023
…you’d have to vacate it first, Thamus.
February 16th, 2023
But I still acknowledge your lifestyle choice, so there’s no judgment.
February 17th, 2023
@Thamus
So by your logic, all of you far-right trolls are in a constant state of gay orgy simply by always posting the same old warmed-over fascist bilge every day?
February 17th, 2023
10/10 comments section. Got me tempted to read what looks like a pretty rubbish book based on the description
February 17th, 2023
I dunno if the comm section rates such high Marx as all that, it just consists of a gang of adults calling each other gay. Hardly 18th Century salon sophistication. Boswell didn’t have Johnson repeatedly indulging a fierce homophobia.
(But there’s also a confused tankie engine in there who imagines the bk is about Anarchy in the UK, or something, so that’s pretty funny.)
February 18th, 2023
@tenbenson What a bizarre thing to say. Do you even know what fascism is ? Or is just another overused and meaningless insult like racist ?
February 18th, 2023
@Robbie22
Yeah, I know exactly what fascism is. And the reason you think “racist” is a meaningless insult is that you are one.
February 18th, 2023
@Robbie22
And who the fück was talking to you anyway?
Stop jumping on other people’s comments, attention whore.
February 19th, 2023
@ten who was talking to me ?
Well you actually you attention whore. What a bizarre thing to say to someone you were conversing with.
Since the definition of racist has changed and morphed into whatever it is now makes the accusation meaningless. A racist used to be someone who hated and discriminated against blacks, which I certainly don’t. Now a racist is anybody who is winning an argument with a leftist such as yourself. So yes I’m a racist who abhors discrimination.
I’d much rather be that than a far left extremist like you.
So what is fascism then ?
And can you tell me what a woman is ?
And do support the far left extremist group known as antifa

Proud to be Right
when I hear of gay men, a length of piano wire comes to mind
