Rule 1: No Sectarianism - Left Unity will be enforced at all times except in the weekly 'infighting thread'. This ain't a place to shit on Anarchists or Leninists, it's a place to shit on Tories, Libs and SocDems.
Rule 2: No Liberalism - You have the rest of reddit to be a lib. Don't be surprised when we ban you for it in here. This ain't a space for backwards ideology.
Rule 3: No Reactionary Politics - This includes, but is not limited to, overt ableism, racism, xenophobia, religious intolerance, queerphobia, misogyny and of course, classism.
Rule 4: No National Chauvinism - We're not Tories, we don't preach British or English exceptionalism. Internationalism is strictly enforced.
Rule 5: No Overt Calls For Violence - Be smart here people, we don't want to get Chapo-ed. Please be aware Reddit's other rules as well, such as with regards to piracy, privacy etc.
Rule 6: No Excessive Doomerism - Communism/Socialism is the ideology of optimism. Try to keep a positive attitude, however hard it might be.

Bilingual article on the police in English and Cornish
Lowren asks whether all cops are really b*******. What does the recent news about Devon and Cornwall Police officers abusing women tell us about policing as a whole?
Lowren a wovyn mars yw kevnisers oll dhe wir kyjyoryon. Pyth a wra an nowodhow a-gynsow a sodhogyon Kreslu Kernow ha Dewnens ow tebeldhyghtya benenes leverel dhyn a-dro dhe'n kreslu dien?
Let's be honest here - Angela Rayner hasn't lived up to expectations of being a good left leaning deputy Labour Leader and her being an apologist for Israeli war criminals is disappointing.
I know there are worse Labour Right MPs than her to target for unseating at the next election, however;
If we unseat her at the next general election and Labour still wins it, that will trigger an automatic election for the deputy leadership of the Labour Party.
And if the Labour Left play it right, they could get someone on the ballot with enough nominations who could easily walk the membership vote with ease against the Starmer-backed candidate.
Obviously if the SCG put one of their own forward, Labour MPs will be put off from nominating them because "muhr Corbyn", but if the SCG backs a left leaning candidate that is Pro-Palestine and is liked by enough Labour MPs outside of the SCG to get enough nominations, then they could walk the deputy leadership race with ease if they are left enough.
We could then get a left wing Deputy Labour Leader that would be required to sit in all cabinet meetings, leak right wing policy proposals to the press to rubbish them and undermine them, push for a more left leaning agenda and use the platform for greater change.
Next to Starmer and Streeting, I think unseating Rayner is one of the big priorities for the British Left at the next election.
So we need a coordinated campaign in her constituency to get people to vote tactically, for traditional Labour voters to vote Green or independent and split the vote away from Labour to weaken her chances of re-election.
Anyone on here in her constituency who could help? Who's with me on this proposal?
