It ' s wishful thinking from socialists , particularly the older generation who want a return to the 70 s . Of course the going further left isn ' t the answer . Elections are won in the centre and the Tories are abandoning the centreground . There is a real opportunity there for a plausible centre . And yet the answer is for Labour to swing to the far left ? Like I said , wishful thinking . Millenials by and large don ' t actually want socialism . The millennials in the membership picked Smith , not Corbyn so never mind the rest of the population ! . It ' s just another downwards fucking from the older generation . We ' re getting it from every fucking angle here by old people . They ' ve even hijacked the Labour Party .
