Morning Star editor BEN CHACKO says assessing a Labour leader whose mission was to smash the left must involve addressing the delusions that fuelled his rise
THE frequent delegitimisation of Jeremy Corbyn by both conservative and liberal elites who stand opposed to his radically democratic politics has left many voters believing that he is bad news, despite agreeing with many of his views.
They feared this would happen — that is, elites across government, the media, the judiciary, the Civil Service, the nobility and, most importantly, the financial and corporate sectors.
They feared that a radically democratic Labour Party under Corbyn would form a manifesto that the public would overwhelmingly support, and would run counter to many of their own interests.
