What is Socialism in England in the early 2020s Part One - The Communicipal Angle.

I follow on Twitter an account that provides access to a socialist podcast in England where among the issues recently discussed was the question of why people became socialists. Interestingly several comrades commented on the influence of Jeremy Corbyn on their endorsement of and subsequent promotion of socialism. I think it is fair to say that an interest in socialism was awakened within wider British society and in England in particular during the Corbynista years from 2015-to-2019.  Having sparked thoughts after hearing some of the podcast and also reading comrades' blogs posted on Twitter I came to the conclusion that why I am a socialist is intrinsically bound up with what I think socialism is, and for me this is the real question the English left should be asking ourselves. I strongly supported Jeremy Corbyn-but of course the odds were always stacked against him. He was systematically undermined by his own party and certain elected and/or appointed actors of outside sponsors
I have updated and altered my old blog having removed all the broken links and old content to create a new platform for the communicpalist online identity. This is the first post-Corbyn blog I've started. I spend quite a lot of time on Twitter @communicipalist commenting upon current affairs, the politics of the English left, people and events that I consider to be of historical significance, reviewing and deconstructing propaganda, exploring the arts and sciences and promoting the ideology and practice of ecosocialism or what I have come to call 'global localism' - the People's Great Reset. Thanks for your visit - more content is on its way soon.
