Labour Party vs Jeremy Corbyn. The truth comes out.

Now that extreme ‘centrists’, and corporate media, have achieved their objective of toppling the uncorrupt peace activist, Jeremy Corbyn - via their despicable weaponization of antisemitism, amongst other tactics - the truth will slowly come out. Read here.

After Labour members overwhelmingly chose Corbyn as their leader in 2015, the right-wing of the party, which has been in control for decades, was furious. As illustrated in this new dossier, these people view Corbyn's brand of anti-war, pro-worker politics with utter contempt. They even 'joke' about violently attacking him and his supporters.

These anti-democratic, self-described 'moderate centrists', assisted by their chums in the mainstream media, sought to undermine his leadership at every opportunity.

A major aspect of this campaign to undermine the party involved weaponising the issue of antisemitism. There was and is a minor problem of antisemitic incidents in Labour (around 0.08% of the membership), as there is in every party, and in wider society. Whilst Corbyn and team wanted to address the issue, the anti-Corbyn, anti-worker 'centrists' deceptively inflated the problem; and they constantly conflated anti-Zionism/criticism of the Israeli regime, with antisemitism; to set in motion a McCarthyite witch-hunt, in their effort to rid the party of Corbyn, socialists in general, (and pro-Palestine activists).

They sabotaged party efforts to address the real antisemitism cases, in their effort to make the party under Corbyn look unbothered by the problem, and ‘institutionally antisemitic’.

Without this constant effort by much of the PLP, and the media, to smear and undermine the party and leadership, I think we can be pretty sure that Labour would have won the 2017 election with ease, given that they were so close to winning despite it. Imagine how much better the party would have done had it been united; had those 'centrist' Tories-in-disguise accepted the will of the Labour membership, and united behind Corbyn.

But these right-wing wreckers never had any intention of doing that. Like most, they are career politicians, and they are ideologically opposed to Corbyn's politics; to peace, justice, solidarity, and democracy. And they have won. They have got what they wanted - Corbyn toppled, and the continuation of a system that is impoverishing humanity and destroying the planet.

Jeremy Corbyn was not the enemy. I hope it’s clearer after all this who is.
