I've gutted this so i can begin to add people onsite.

==[[File:Mega_Yes.png]] 100% Invited to the coalition==
*[[File:Corbynism-ball.png]] [[Corbynism]] - Has some questionable opinions on the Russian-Ukrainian war but that is about it. One of the few leaders in Labour's history who i can say with confidence i support.
*[[File:TonyBenn.png]] [[Bennism]] - The most moral man to ever sit in parliament. every speech has perfectly described his era, and every opinion has been with the british people in mind. An inspiration to all.
*[[File:Burn.png]] [[Burnhamism]] - The best Soft Left politician, hands down. i have never been a fan of the whole regional sentiment, but living in his Manchester has been an oasis in a Conservative desert. keep on going, Andy.
*[[File:KeirHardie.png]] Keir Hardie - The man who started it all. If it wasn't for his Marx-inspired syndicalistic take on Victorian Democracy, Britain would have, i can say with confidence, been a thousand times worse off.


==[[File:Yes.png]]Invited to the coalition==
==[[File:Yes.png]]Invited to the coalition==
*[[File:TorIcon.png]] [[Torontoism]] - From what i have read, you seem to be quite simply a good Democratic comrade. not a big fan of libertarianism, but I've been living under the Tories. I'm sure you can see why not trusting the government comes as second nature. Also Certified Toronto Boi is absolute fire.
*[[File:Yoda8soup.png]] [[Yoda8soup Thought]] - Honestly, having read through your page, I don't have many things to dispute. I also like Semi-Direct Democracy, I also appreciate the Kautskyist approach to achieving socialism, and I also want some revolution to secure the movement in the short term. again though, not personally a big fan of libertarianism, but I'll be damned if the coalition isn't big enough for anti-authoritarianism.
*[[File:Onenatlab.png]] [[One Nation Labour| Ed Miliband]] - Look, Ed. I get it. You spent your whole life in the shadow of Ralph, with your supposedly more popular brother being an open Blairist. I can admit you might have a bit of ideological confusion. But come on, you basically mimicked Cameron and expected to win! we all saw you up against Boris in PMQs, where was that fire in 2015???
*[[File:Sanders.png]] [[Sandersism| Bernie Sanders]] - Bernie is alright for a social democrat. Other people have already explained better why.
*[[File:Dotdotdotsam-icon.png]] [[.dotdotdotsam Thought]] - Honestly, for a [[File:ML.png]] Marxist-Leninist, you seem to know your stuff. of course, the nature of my ideology requires me to ask that you tone down the anti-revisionism, since revision is the basis of science, and left-wing thinkers have more in common than the right would have us believe, but other than that, you seem to be ok. Also, i gotta appreciate the progressivism, so many MLs just go to conservatism to protect the [[File:OldLeft.png]] Old Left way of thinking. Absolutely amazing art as well, i must say.
*[[File:Cb_vistula.png]] [[Vistula Thought]] - Best describable as a [[File:YellowSynd.png]] Yellow Syndicalist, but between liking Corbyn, Benn, Anti Zionism, the Coalition, and disliking Keith, Blair, and the Tories, i think you have earned the status of Honourary Coalition Member, and i would be happy to call you a comrade.
*[[File:EvolvingSoc.png]] [[Evolutionary Socialism]] - I don't have many notes, to tell the truth. Democratic socialism, revolution under desperate circumstances, it is all here. I fear that your descriptions of ideology may in some places be dominated more by your own personal beliefs then what would be better for the country, but it's all so agreeable that it doesn't really matter anyway.
*[[File:Jefsynd.png]] [[Jefbol Thought]] - A bit radical for my tastes, but you certainly know your stuff. I'd debate your perspectives, but the fact of the matter is you seem to have gone through quite a journey to come to the realisation you are at, and i respect you too much to question the process. also, Sorel was so much more than 'boogeyman natsynd', and i'm glad that you reached that assertion.


==[[File:Meh.png]] Invited to the coalition with scepticism==
==[[File:Meh.png]] Invited to the coalition with scepticism==
*[[File:Brownism.png]] [[Blairism| Gordon Brown]] - Brown really was the epitome of Peacetime Blairism, it was just unfortunate that the 20 Years of conservatism had finally caught up with the country, and he got the blame shifted onto him. Never a frown with Gordon Brown.
*[[File:George.png]] [[Gallowayism| George Galloway]] - Nationalist, Anti 'Woke Politics', anti feminism. Stuck in the past. Still, at least he doesn't pretend to be interesting, unlike...
*[[File:OldLeft.png]] [[Old Left| Arthur Scargill]] - Champagne Socialist, Abused union membership for profit. Even still, the miners strikes were one of the stepping stones that took down thatcher, so good job there.
*[[File:Clif.png]] [[Cliffism]] - Tony wasn't bad for a Trotskyist. I Like him more the more i read about him. But militant were just not it, even if they would have been coalition-worthy. Also, there is a lot of Socialist Worker's Party posters around where i live, so make of that what you will.
*[[File:SerbSoc.png]] [[Serbian Socialism]] - Tito is alright, actually. i quite like reading about the stuff he did. other than that, though, you seem a bit ConSoc-y. also Corbyn did not ruin socialism's name all over the world, the man could barely get coverage in britain.
*[[File:Merid.png]] [[Meridionalism]] - Well, getting the obvious out of the way, you are quite economically in line with my beliefs, but, addressing the elephant in the room, i dont think i can in good conscience throw my support behind southern secession. now what i interpret your idea of the south seceding as is a radical expansion of the single issue of states rights, which, of course, are an integral part of the union. but the only real reason southern identity exists is because of the rich, comrade. in the hopes you one day realise this, we can be coalition friends for the meantime. but sort out that colourblind vibe you got going on, man.
*[[File:LordCompU.png]] [[Ultroneism]] - I must admit to the heinous sin of skimming over your works. But i must say, from the perspective of someone who sees themselves as not very philosophically involved, you have given me a new perspective on anarchism with your writings differentiating philosophical anarchism. I must say, i am impressed. Additionally, any friend of the writings of Žižek and sorel, and of the music of Bob Dylan, is someone whom i can appreciate.
*[[File:CalafaxBall.png]] [[Geoliberal Social Democracy]] - On one hand, you do seem to have a few capitalist tendencies, and i am never a fan of using the term liberal to describe policy, but you did appeal to my collaborative nature by saying you would be willing to work with you, which, conveniently enough, is my whole ideological schtick.
*[[File:Neokira2.png]] [[Meowxism]] - Like I say, i am not inherently against Marxist-Leninists at all, I think many of them on this wiki are very good people. Likewise, you seem to be highly progressive, which immediately saves anyone who is against revisionism, but again, i must say that revision is the basis of science, and theory must be adapted to it's time.
*[[File:Neohumicon.png]] [[Neo-humanism]] - Honestly, looking past the obvious economic differences, which automatically puts you in the scepticism category, you hold decent social values, and although i consider myself humanistically centrist, because i believe there is also a good case for anti-humanism, i can fully respect anyone acting for the common man, even if their definition of common man is misguided.
*[[File:Hered.png]] [[Heredism]] - All in all, while social liberalism is much too overton window for my liking, populism is the best way to give control back to the masses, so i think you might have made a recovery there. agree with your LGBT stances, your stances on drug use, although we could probably safely legalise a bit stronger stuff, since the regulation argument applies further down you go, and it worked out for portugal. as for gun usage, in britain, only specialist cops have access to guns, and even then they need to have a license. restricting it to the cops is giving the cops an inch, and as time has shown, giving them an inch leads to them taking [[File:Blm.png]] A mile. From there, it is all pretty default social democratic stuff, stuff i mostly agree with. so good job overall.

*[[File:New_Labourism.png]] [[Blairism| Tony Blair]] - Iraq War. sure the 1m figure was probably exaggerated, but we are still looking at a few hundred thousand dead civilians on his hands. He is no more labour that Boris De Pfeffel Johnson.
*[[File:Starmer2.png]] [[Starmerism| Keir Starmer]] - Keith is trying so hard to emulate Tony Blair that he accidentally became the Conservatives. maybe horseshoe theory has some merit after all...
*[[File:ClassMerid.png]] [[Classical Meridionalism]] - Look Luke, we all had the radicalised phase. of course, this is a particularly ''bad'' one, because cultural rightism is a scourge that must be wiped off of the planet, no matter the economic system, but i'm glad you've chilled out since then, comrade.

This page is meant to represent MrNoNonsense's political views. Please do not make any major edits without their permission.


The Great British New Left is a Socialist and Progressive political belief held by MrNoNonsense advocating for more Left Centre-left consolidation within the British Labour Party. He supports the parties more moderate leanings, while personally preferring the parties more leftist tendencies. despite this, he is an ardent critic of the administrations of Tony Blair and Gordon Brown, giving slightly more credit to the latter. He is an aggressive opponent of Keir Starmer, considering him to be a Political Opportunist. He is also a vocal supporter of the NHS strikes and an open critic of Transphobic sentiments, seeing them as a bi-product of a Manufactured Culture War . He proposes a Reconciled Left-Wing Coalition within the Labour Party, with the intention of ensuring victory against the much more uniform Conservative establishment. He is also an advocate for an electoral coalition with the Breakthrough Party, the Green Party, and other smaller democratic socialists party such as Tower Hamlet's Aspire Party. Of course, this plan is primarily aimed towards britain, but it is applicable to other areas because of how compromising it is designed to be. Being from Manchester, he is also a strong supporter of Andy Burnham.

The little ideology sprite things: (/////)

Beliefs

Economic Policy

I believe that the economy, locally and nationally, must prioritise those who control the means of production. Britain must begin the process of renationalising industries, especially in cases such as Royal Mail, where privatisation has led to nothing but mass strikes and detrimental working conditions. To this extent, I largely support Corbyn's approach to the economy; utilise idealism to give the workers their fair share, but utilise pragmatism to regulate the economy while these actions are being taken. for this reason, I refer to my economics as Social Regulationist pragmatically, and Regulationary Socialist Ideally.

Unions

Radicalised by the worker's strikes that plague Britain's politics today, I have no further opinion than that unions are the core of our society, and that they are in a functioning democracy, an absolute necessity for a cooperative society. Unions are, in a Tory country, the last line of defence for the common worker. I am no Syndicalist, I feel there is better governance to be had from the party, but I can say with firm belief that I stand with the unions, through all of their ventures. In conclusion, i refer to myself as a Trade Unionist, and sympathise with Syndicalists.

My Definition Of Socialism

Socialism is inherently a very broad ideology, but in the context of my ideology, i see it as the inevitable Idealist future, once elections are won and the benefits are made clear to the people, socialism can be achieved. I also believe in Left-Collaborationism as a core tenant of my believes, to the testament that hopefully, long after I am gone, a true utopic Communist society can be achieved. Although I personally would never refer to myself as a Communist, I still see a Communist future as inevitable, defining it as a stateless, classless, moneyless society. Marx got many a thing right in regards to the exploitative relationship between the upper and lower classes, but he also had some Choice words about jewish people as part of his clear hatred of religion, the kind of things that could not be justified as merely State Athiest. While i personally refer to myself as a Catholic, and define my opinions on class and the working class as stemming from the teachings of Jesus Christ, I still recognise the importance of the seperation of Church from Politics. For these reasons, I refuse to define my beliefs as 'Marxist', as I believe that we should not define ourselves through the theories of other people, and should instead strive to identify ourselves by our own theories. So to conclude this section, I define myself as highly sympathetic of Marxists, while abstaining from referring to myself as such, and moderately sympathetic to Communists, only not to the extent of being an apologists for the crimes committed by such groups. I define myself not as a Democratic Socialist, but as a Socialist, since i believe that true socialism directly implies democracy.

Conclusion

In Conclusion, I describe my economic values as Regulationarily Socialist, Trade Unionist, and Moderately Socialist (although i refer to my economics as Moderately Socialist, i refer to my ideology as a whole as Socialist, as opposed to Democratic Socialism, as i believe true socialism implies democracy.)

Best/Worst Parts Of My Ideology?

How I Would Have Voted In Labour Party Leadership Elections

  • 1976: Tony Benn (Withdrew In Final Ballot)
  • 1980: Micheal Foot
  • 1983: Eric Heffer (Reluctantly)
  • 1988: Tony Benn
  • 1992: John Smith (Reluctantly)
  • 1994: John Prescott (Very Reluctantly)
  • 2007: John McDonnell (Not enough votes to oppose Brown)
  • 2010: Andy Burnham (I had to think about this, because on one hand i dont mind Ed Milliband, and on the other, Diane Abbott was the Socialist Campaign Group's candidate. but with hindsight, i decided i had to vote for the man who has done the most locally to earn my respect.)
  • 2015: Jeremy Corbyn (Sorry, Andy)
  • 2016: Jeremy Corbyn ( Owen Didn't sell it for me)
  • 2020: Rebecca Long-Bailey
