We all have our little quirks through which we seek to establish control over our existence. Each morning, I eat my toast while checking the TV guide on the Freeview box to see if any channel might be showing a documentary about Hitler and WW2 that day. On Friday I check what new releases Tidal’s algorithm is suggesting for me. Thursday evenings I look at the new edition of the Weekly Worker.

It is a well written paper which is sometimes witty and manages to do that tricky thing of being simultaneously objective and partisan. Unlike some of the left press, it doesn’t make stuff up or deliberately bend the truth.

But, gosh! It has lost all sense of perspective with Your Party. Early Christian thinkers used to have big fights with each other about who “had strayed too close to the purported dyophysitism of Nestorius and therefore too far from what they perceived to have been the miaphysite Christology of Cyril.” You can see why it would have certainly been a problem.

The current issue of Weekly Worker, which is produced by the Communist Party of Great Britain (CPGB), features two articles for fans of the miaphysite Corbynology of Karie Murphy and the dyophysitism of Zarah Sultana, and that is before we get onto the eschatology of Zack Polanski.

One is about 4360 words long, that is ten A4 pages in a twelve-point font. The other is a more succinct 2100 words. It is a massive investment of time and work, as no doubt was polemicising with some heretic in Alexandria who just did not understand the contradictory aspects of the Holy Spirit. Though it is probably easier to do on a computer than with a goose quill on papyrus.

Posterity may one day be grateful that we have a detailed critique of the proposals by The Many. This is a faction of Corbyn loyalists inside Your Party and not a scary civilisation in Star Trek, though I haven’t watched any of the recent series so it could well be both. There follows all sorts of things about voting systems during which you struggle to understand how a person intelligent enough to write all this doesn’t see just how futile it is.

Still, anyone reading the archives of this site will have a keen understanding that much political endeavour is ultimately futile. And yet we persevere.

Such is the spirit that made someone decide writing Not red on the inside was a day or two well spent. Its theoretical heart is that Labour remains a bourgeois workers’ party whereas “Polanski is a left populist shape-shifter”. If you want to find out why the CPB accuse the Socialist Party of “class treachery” supplemented with commentary on the SWP plus Respect, you know where to go. You may decide that life is too short.

The bottom line is that the Green Party “is unmistakably a petty bourgeois party which wants to repair current capitalism in the interests of the petty bourgeoisie.” This is either in spite of, or because many of its 180 000 members are “disproportionately young, student, female, well-educated and renting.”

Another way of putting that is that they have virtually unpayable debts as a result of their education and are spending an obscene proportion of their income on rent. These are not things to reconcile anyone to the existing order. My impressions of some of them are here.

The days when a single person or even a couple on a moderate income could buy a flat are gone. Combine this with the fact that virtually every single young person who joins the Greens say that they are disgusted by Labour, have been radicalised by Gaza and are desperate to change the world. Actually, come to think of it most of the Bolshevik leaders were originally young, student, well-educated and renting.

If the Green membership is a petit bourgeois morass it seems like one which can be very receptive to radical ideas. In my experience it is.

No great foresight is needed to see that Your Party is doomed. Even when it was not on the life support machine it had a wearying sense of having the worse habits of the British left. It is reducing itself to some bureaucrats circling the wagons against the far left and people who haven’t realised that Corbyn’s moment has passed. More than anything, it has completely missed out on the biggest youth radicalisation in Britain since the 1960s.

You can listen to this while reading up on the differences between Eutychianism and Apollinaris of Laodicea or the Weekly Worker.
