As I have said many times, while we are content to live under a "liberal" corporate capitalist economic system, socialist must concentrate on being a means of opposition.
The UK Labour Party has been hijacked by career politicians who yearn for political power and the benefits that power brings(Blair being an excellent role model).....At least two thirds of the parliamentary party are disgusting hypocrites, they have been engaged in the removal of socialism for over forty years, culminating in the present coup against a proper socialist leader.
When Jeremy was elected I remarked that the true left must be patient, his job was to educate, not win elections. It will take several generations to give to the people some understanding of what socialism means and to explain that many of the thing that we have been encouraged to achieve are not good for us....or society.

The careerists have no time to wait and basically no inclination to educate on a subject which they hold in contempt.

They are the worst, most dangerous form of scum.......more dangerous to socialist ideas than even the conservatives who at the very least believe and promote their agenda of financial aspiration as a political driving force.
