With thousands of people tweeting about 'New Labour' over the weekend, following the return of arch-Blairite Lord Mandelson, we are re-sharing this excellent long-read on the origins and legacy of Blairism. https://www.socialist.net/blairism-a-legacy-that-must-be-buried.htm
"The lack of party democracy, meanwhile, has allowed out-of-touch Labour MPs to cradle their jobs as though they were peerages - until they’re nudged to ‘revolve out’, just like Blair, to make a killing in the private sector.
"This is why we need open selection: to create a new generation of class fighters, who will put the interests of ordinary people above that of their own careers.
We must not let the Labour Party be taken over once again by these careerist creatures. We need a socialist Labour Party, filled with impassioned class warriors, committed to the socialist transformation of society.
"Above all, we need to build a strong Marxist tendency inside the labour movement - a tendency of workers and youth, organised around bold socialist policies."
