Labour panders to racism – playing the far right's game

When Keir Starmer was standing for Labour leader in 2020 after Jeremy Corbyn resigned, his slogan was “Another World is Possible”. This was a call back to the ideals and hope of the anti capitalist movement in the late 1990s and early 2000s before 9/11 made our world more reactionary, more dangerous, more cynical. As part of his bid for leadership to win over a membership that had only recently elected Corbyn twice over, Starmer gave a speech in which he outlined his view on immigration; “We welcome migrants, we don't scapegoat them. Low wages, poor housing, poor public services, are not the fault of migrants… we have to make the case for the benefits of migration”.

The debate on the Left over the war in Ukraine has exposed serious disagreements on international questions, ones that have been brewing and deepening for over a decade. From 2001 to 2011, there was general unity on the socialist Left about the question of imperialism and the response to it. This was a period of explicit and obvious attacks on sovereign countries such as Afghanistan and Iraq by the United States, United Kingdom, and other imperialist forces. This naked imperialist aggression triggered global mass movements against the so-called “War on Terror.”
