    They want economic collapse so that they can exploit the aftermath. They want societal breakdown because that's their most fertile ground. They actually say it in those two examples.

    That's exploiting the people they say they represent. What am I missing here?

    • But they didn't create the problems. I think you may be going a little tinfoil hat. They want change not collapse - whether you agree the change is good or notfadein11
    • is a different story. You are implying they engineered the last 10 years of austerity, the disaster of Brexit, the failing Tory party. They didn't create thesefadein11
    • they want a socialist future. fine, looks good on paper. Look what they're willing to do to get it. It's in front of you and you can't see it.Fax_Benson
    • issues or have any influence over them. They were in the political wasteland until a lot of disgruntled people noticed what Corbyn was saying.fadein11
    • What have they done to try and get it? Do you mean Corbyn standing at a rally talking sense to a load of people sick of centrist politics?fadein11
    • It's a grassroots movement that has grown way bigger than expected even by them. It's another reaction to people being sick of the same political bullshit. Wefadein11
    • got Corbyn, the US drew the short straw and got Trump. But unfort we also have a side order of Brexit to deal with :)fadein11
    • they don't care how fucked the poor get if it gives them a chance of power. They've admitted it.Fax_Benson
    • the things you downvoted. That's their power strategy. They and you can justify it because it's 'left'Fax_Benson
    • and the Tories are evilFax_Benson
    • (they are pretty evil)Fax_Benson
    • "they don't care how fucked the poor get if it gives them a chance of power" - happy to been shown proof of this pls - no evidence in stuff you posted below.fadein11
    • I don't think you're missing anything apart from a rational understanding of the situation. The government now has an opposition.Ianbolton
    • Corbyn never wanted personal power - study his career. He had to be persuaded to stand as leader and never expected to win. Hence his somewhat lacklustre start.fadein11
    • Let's agree to disagree. I had/have reservations about Corbyn but as time has gone all I am seeing is good. I doubt their aims are what you say though and plsfadein11
    • provide real evidence if it exists.fadein11
    • Look up what Socialism means, also take a look at some "socialist" Scandinavian countries.Chimp
    • i think corbyn is remarkably centrist in his policies. whatever his own beliefs if anything he's preaching multilateralism/ peaceful protest not revolution...kingsteven
    • that'll be the next guy :-|kingsteven
