Great conversation, I love the cohesive historical view. One thing, the region wouldn't collapse, they're quite integrated in two or more camps plus Israel

To the man who asked the question re an anti-woke left, George galloway’s workers party GB are exactly that and won 200,000 votes at the uk general election

There is no anti-woke left. Left = woke now

Galloway loves playing identity politics. He's a narcissist and definitely not the answer.

@@diskopartizan0850 a narcissist who is calling on Jeremy corbyn to lead a new left coalition? Who stood down candidates at the election when there were viable independents (unlike the Greens who stood everywhere and split the left vote)?

[@diskopartizan0850]

@gh0stoflectricity he wants Corbyn as the figurehead because he knows how easy it'd be to manipulate him. Unfortunately Corbyn isn't good at doing much other than being a constituency MP.
It's pretty well established that the 'celebrity' big brother contestant Galloway is more than a bit full of himself.
