Hear that all you poor people? The multi-millionaire Yoko says that crying because of your poverty and desperation is good for your mind and body.

I think that's satire. Please don't destroy my feeling of hope in this world by having that not be satire. I will cry.

I click through to The Socialist Party/@OfficialSPGB — Socialist Party of Great Britain — and it's got the blue check mark of a "verified account." That means they're dead serious, right?

The Socialist Party of Great Britain has been around since 1904, Wikipedia says, offering this photograph of the they looked at their first conference, in 1905:



"Unlike other left groups, the SPGB did not see fascism as a special threat to the working class. Rather than formulating it as the last refuge of capitalism organising to defend itself against the working class, the party’s writers and speakers tended to view it as a particular type of reform movement. The two specific characteristics identified, though, were that it tended to be a form of national consolidation – unifying fragment nations such as Germany, Italy and Spain – and that it tended to have the mass support of the working class. The party's theory made the working class the politically decisive class: thus if the working class supported fascism then fascism would prevail. Answers to letters in the Socialist Standard in the 1930s repeatedly made this point. Early writers noted what Benito Mussolini was able to do with the power of the state on his side, a part of a vindication of the SPGB's approach of the workers seizing control of the state. The SPGB, hence, declined to join anti-fascist fronts or to make a particular issue of anti-fascism, arguing that the pro-socialist case was the necessary remedy for fascism."

Keep crying! It's an excellent way of bringing balance and health to your mind and body.
