The Left Wing Information Project is Open for Business

Hi there, Have you ever been trying to find some information about Left Wing politics that you just couldn't find? ​ Found yourself with a ton of disparate links that have bits and pieces of what you want but not quite what you need? ​ Been trying to get a picture of what group is what school or discipline of left-wing politics but not able to piece it together? ​ Yeah? Me too! ​ This project is an attempt to provide a central repository for the left online no matter the 'school' or 'discipline'. This subreddit is not the actual repository but a way to build a team that can work together to ultimately design, develop, deliver and maintain the 'library' itself. ​ I appreciate that this is a big undertaking. So, it is not something that I could do alone, nor would I want to. Any good central source of information usually comes from a dedicated team that all have something unique to offer whilst working towards a common goal but over quite a period ...

Being stopped from calling for greater unity and education outside of 'leftist' forums by?....

Being stopped from calling for greater unity and education outside of 'leftist' forums by?.... You may have seen that I have included below a Reddit post that I wrote. If you read the piece you would see that I was essentially making three important points. That people that are not politics nerds or junkies may not believe or understand that there could be an alternative system to that of capitalism That we on the left, that is the whole of the left, from Social Democrats on the right of the left, through Socialists and Communist and all the way to Anarchists on the left of the left*, can make it difficult, inaccessible, esoteric even for those on the outside of politics, and within for that matter, to understand why capitalism is not a divinely bestowed system to live by. That we on the left intersect on fundamental points and issues and need to make our positions ACROSS THE ENTIRE SPECTRUM of the left accessible. *The spectrum shown here is very truncated and a...

Party Political Puffin's Podcast is up an running!

It has been difficult to realise the original vision of what the channel would look like. Originally, the thought was that a 'Daily News' article would go up on YouTube every day, giving an overview of the days news. The channel would also provide a weekly 'Opinion' piece at the weekend. The 'enthusiastic' view of being able to get this done was just that, enthusiastic, but it wasn't realistic. With the channel just starting and having to be organised, the fact that I am just one person, for the moment and all the technicalities of getting pieces up, there just wasn't the time to do all of this. As those of you that have see the YouTube videos will be aware, they go quite in depth in an attempt to cater for those of us that do not spend every waking minute reading, listening to or watching some sort of news content. I wanted to make sure that if people didn't quite get some of the nuance or terminology or background to a piece then they woul...

Healthcare and Coronavirus Series Promo

The Coronavirus, COVID-19, has swept across the planet in a matter of weeks. As it is a novel version, no one has immunity to it and there are currently no vaccines. A robust and urgent response is and was required to this. A 'Universal' healthcare response to it, if you will. However, there are countries that have no form of 'nationalised' healthcare system and require their citizens to essentially fend for themselves. Of course, this means there is no joined up, national system to coordinate not just the medical aspect of fighting this virus but also the logist aspect of it. I'm not talking about some small, basically unknown 'tribe' or clan off the top of Scotland here. No, I'm talking about the richest country on the planet, the USA. I've filmed a four part series looking at the relationship between coronavirus and healthcare and the systems that will be employed. Please join me to look at what this could mean for the countries invol...

This is too serious to not comment on further - Coronavirus

Coronavirus is serious. Seems some need to be made aware of this. The world is being 'represented' by a buffoon, a man-child, someone that cares not a jot for anyone that isn't him or his family. He shouldn't be the story of a pandemic that as of just a week ago has taken the lives of over 3,000 people. BBC News Website - Coronavirus: World in 'uncharted territory' He shouldn't be so I'm not going to make him the story, for once! However, I will just say that it is more than 'sad' that I went to a news organisation for an accurate take on the number of deaths rather than go to the US government's website. Why? I simply don't trust anything from Trump's administration and with good reason(s) (many, many of them!). Firstly, I implore anyone that is unsure of what Coronavirus is, to go and check out the W.H.O.'s website  (shown below) as it gives a good, no nonsense summary of what it is. I understand people c...
