A fork in the road for Your Party
Your Party faces the fundamental question of its orientation. Only Corbyn’s left social democratic perspective offers a genuine way forward.

Any ‘strategy’ for fighting the far right that refuses to challenge the far right’s racism will not work. It avoids the most important core issues on which the far right’s advance is based.
The new party’s arrival on the political scene can radically change the situation by offering a real opposition to reactionary politics. To succeed in the current period, it will need consistent opposition to war, austerity and racism, the oppression of women and every other form of oppression and tackling climate change will also have to be central to its politics.
There is a very limited political choice at this general election. But there is a major test for socialists in how they approach that choice.
Capitalism requires Labour to support its current offensive. The Labour’s right wing cannot guarantee to do that as they do not have the situation within the party sufficiently under their control. Hence the attempts to crush Corbyn and persecute his supporters – which should be resisted.
There is now a concerted ruling class offensive to completely discredit Jeremy Corbyn as part of an overall project of burying Corbynism. Corbyn is the most left-wing leader Labour has ever had, opposed to imperialist wars, to racism and discrimination, and opposed to austerity. The left needs to defend the positive legacy of Corbyn on all these fronts in order to mount any defence now or be able to advance in the future.
