Jeremy Corbyn Proud to Be a Socialist

Exclusive interview for teleSUR with Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn multimedia.tele...

[@oneoflokis]

Best PM we never had!!

[@benstevinson764]

Jeremy Corbyn was the Best leader of the Labour Party! 🌹 Jeremy Corbyn is a True Democratic Socialist! 🌹 Along with Dennis Skinner! 🌹 The Labour Party 🌹 Needs a Strong 💪 Leader!

[@henben9215]

But no one trusted him

[@hanspetersen8831]

we can do it workers. solidarity from germany :)

[@jonethomas3892]

What country is his next interest, by passing his own.

[@Serenadesong]

Love the ending. It is honorable and wonderful that Mr. Corbyn stands for what he believes in and isn't afraid or ashamed to admit that he is a Socialist. I live in the U.S. and the very mention of Socialism is poison here. Bernie Sanders was supposed to change that for us, but has recently denounced his Socialist past. Glad to see that Jeremy sticks by his.

[@loucious22]

+Serenadesong In what way? He still calls himself a democratic socialist

[@Serenadesong]

loucious22 Lately he has been referring to himself as a "Progressive" more than a Democratic Socialist, and the two terms are different, even though I know that some people confuse them. He did state recently that he wasn't a Capitalist on "Meet the press", but then at the Democratic debates when he was cornered with the question by Anderson Cooper, he slightly changed over to "I'm not a 'casino' Capitalist". So honestly it is impossible to know where he stands. He's mixing it up a lot, I think because "Socialist" is still feared and considered "dirty and evil" in the U.S. His advisers are probably coaching him to be cautious so that he can win votes. But still - the back and forth is setting the stage for disaster in my humble opinion. He should stick with the label he believes in and wants to live by. Those who support him will then support him honestly.

[@philjones3346]

+Serenadesong Nice to be reminded that Socialism is still alive in the capital of Capitalism! Jack London's " The Iron Heel " is one of my favourite books.

[@Serenadesong]

phil jones Well sadly I wish that it were more alive than it is! I am probably one of just a few. I actually haven't read that book yet, but it's on my list!

[@philjones3346]

+Serenadesong Even if you are, the dream is alive! The Iron Heel is inspirational. It is written many centuries in the future when Socialism has triumphed and the look-backs to the madness of Capitalism are wonderful to read. You simply must get a copy!

"Jeremy Corbyn for New Labour." "Oi..."

[@sgtderp1]

+Deos if he does that it will fail they tried it before and it didnt work it ended in disaster best thing he can do is convince them or ignore them

[@eradeziel]

+Deos I think the Tory-lite MP's will either end up convinced in a lot of areas or really they should start questioning whether they're in the right party. Any of those still supporting Blair and the New Labour legacy within a genuine socialist movement need to find their own identity as some kind of 'petite bourgeoisie', and stop pretending they're really not a lot different to the Tories.

[@highdefinitionstanleytm9614]

@Deos haha what a success Corbyn was 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@blackgold1980]

I love this guy, an amazing soul and someone who I would like to see become prime minister.

[@blackgold1980]

+chaz STIGLITZ this is the thing. I don't even recognize Corbyn as communist or far left. if you read his policies you will see that most of them are supported by people on the left and right of the political spectrum. For example nationalisation of the railways, ending financial support for corrupt foreign regimes etc.

+Adolf Hitler who do you think you are kidding Mr Hitler, lol.

[@Viktors633]

he is a nice man but he is selfish, there are good labour MPs out there who will have to wait at least 9 years in opposition if he stays.

[@eddiew4670]

It's their fault.. They've been voting the wrong way. Wars , Wars , Wars , Wars and Wars... Stealing . This honest soul will correct that

[@TheDharr]

Love him

[@ferrantepallas]

He is an inspiration. Can it be that there is a politician who can speak honestly, with compassion, reason and humanity? And who's' not afraid to say publicly that he's proud to be a socialist? Wonderful.

[@blitza_6189]

He should be afraid to be a socialist! There has been more than enough evidence to prove that anyone who persues socialism is down right evil. The 20th century is full of examples of how socialism is amongst the worst societies imaginable

[@adorno_gang37]

BLITZA_ The USSR highly raised living standards, ended the cycle of famines that had been going on for centuries, doubled the average life expectancy, made education and healthcare free for all, managed to make almost its entire population literate, fought sexual and racial inequalities, played a mayor role in saving Europe from Nazism and went from a backwards monarchic shithole to a developed industrial society in a much shorter time span than capitalism has EVER accomplished, all that without the child labour and slave-tier working times that were typical for capitalism. Were mistakes made? Yes. "Amongst the worst societies imaginable"? That statement just goes to show your ignorance on the subject. Even in the most failed and corrupt socialist states such as Ceausescu's Romania I'd argue the situation was an improvement compared to the pre-socialist setup.

[@Markmix123]

@@adorno_gang37 wtf are you talking about. Socialism is great. the ussr was an absolute disaster

[@pangorban1]

Such a wonderful man. I could listen to him all day.

[@roland20002000]

Yes I like being lied to all day as well.

[@damianbylightning6823]

So could I. I'd like to hear him justify his support for the North Korean regime. He wants to stop a unified capitalist Korea - because he supports 'international' socialism. In NK they have tortured children to death in camps and fed their bodies to gulag guard dogs. What a lovely man.

[@swallowdalert]

Lying OAP

[@trevorcharlesmorgan]

Yeah he is great, makes me want to buy a bottle of free trade organic wine from Waitrose so I can toast him just like all his other blue collar supporters.

[@Bustygirl-dz1wi]

pangorban1 I wish someone would shut him up

[@nationharris]

I wouldn't have introduced him as leader of new labour

[@kingoftheseamusic]

The best interview yet. Very very very good questions from Stephany Kennefy

[@philjones3346]

+Trev Gibb The very best interview I've seen. Our own political interviewers could learn from it i.e. how to constructively interview rather than carry out a full offensive!

[@MsMumei]

thankyou :) x

Solidarity with our comrades whose blood truly runs red🌹

he offers something new, whether he can ever become PM is moot.

[@philjones3346]

+coalikesdesi He offers HOPE!

[@niconiconico6183]

Will you have a Spanish language version of this? Maybe subtitled?

[@samuelvigliaturo426]

probably not on the English version of the channel.

[@niconiconico6183]

Indeed no! But somewhere else perhaps, such as via their TV signal in Latin America? I couldn't find any signs of it online.

[@samuelvigliaturo426]

Nico NicoNico maybe.

[@thomasedwards2305]

Reduce the benefits when they run out the lazy people will have to do what labour claim to represent its something called work, it's the thing we all do to survive , think about that Jeremy !!!!

[@michaeltownley9144]

Some of the comments on this video are absolutely disgusting. If you don't like Corbyn, why do you watch his videos?

[@michaeltownley9144]

***** Yeah, that's exactly what I've just done.

[@michaeltownley9144]

***** Is it? I was merely asking why people bother coming onto a video featuring a politician they dislike, just to abuse him. I know they have the freedom to "voice their opinions." I just question why they bother.

[@michaeltownley9144]

***** So why do you come onto videos featuring him talking?

[@michaeltownley9144]

***** Have you nothing better to do?

[@michaeltownley9144]

***** I see.

[@scoresound7115]

Such a control freak. Deplorable.

[@BearZap34]

the individual is the ultimate means of production, when you have a job you sell your labor to a company voluntarily in exchange for resources. Do you not own your own labor? In other words does someone else have the right to take those resources you have earned through your labor?
