Just hate to see it that Labour tells a story of the military as some sort of charitable organisation ‘helping’.

People keep saying we should ditch Corbyn’s foreign policy because it was unpopular and abstracting about ‘imperialism’ that nobody cares about, so we can have social market economics. But actually this is one of the most important bits of Corbynism.

Looking at imperialism - economic and trade policy as well as military intervention, and how the latter is used to aid the former - is key to developing an analysis that realises the inter connectivity of our struggles across the world.
