    He’s just one guy though, he can’t start that strong.

    I’m from the UK, and I’d like to see a whole raft of strong measures passed, such as BDS becoming an enforced national law, companies that work with Israel barred from the UK, people that support the IDF slapped with terror charges, and many lobbyists/journalists being slapped with genocide charges… And that’s just if we’re given a little room to play around with pre-revolutionary politics, before concerning ourselves with what they actually deserve.

    I don’t think it’s possible to implement good left policies without there also being a big enough, softer, leftist movement to give us space to operate - and while, of course, we’re going to object to the softer lefts views, it doesn’t mean their existence isn’t valuable to us as a pipeline and to shift peoples frame of reference leftwards.
