The article that inspired this discussion was written by my comrade Jason for the Class Consciousness Project. Be sure to read that before watching the livestream later.

"To belittle the socialist ideology in any way, to turn aside from it in the slightest degree means to strengthen bourgeois ideology. There is much talk of spontaneity. But the spontaneous development of the working-class movement leads to its subordination to bourgeois ideology; for the spontaneous working-class movement is trade-unionism, and trade unionism means the ideological enslavement of the workers by the bourgeoisie. Hence, our task, the task of Social-Democracy, is to combat spontaneity, to divert the working-class movement from this spontaneous, trade-unionist striving to come under the wing of the bourgeoisie, and to bring it under the wing of revolutionary Social Democracy."

A fire has started in partially built building in Everton, Liverpool.
Another of Liverpool Labours dodgy contracts that was never followed through.
This building has been left dormant since the company that "won" the contract went busy. Many locals have pursued the council over this with fire safety warnings being continuously passed to Liverpool Labour, but you can't obtain profits from rectifying an empty building.

Liverpool Labour is destroying this city with cheaply built buildings, allowing our heritage to rot and never once investing in the areas of local workers.
