I've been having pessimistic thoughts for a while because I'll be moving to the UK for studying, and after that somewhere in EU for settling with my partner with a job that I can stay there on. The thoughts are just the possibility of a revolution in UK and imperial core of EU, and I just want to know how can I talk through myself during these moments. How do you do it? I want to take part in organizing after I move, but paranoia really affects me on how this will not be good because I'll be an international student (not a citizen), and I have to somehow "be politically safe" to avoid being deported back. These are all paranoid thoughts, largely because I have psychosis too, but it still bothers me. Thank you for listening comrades <3

UK has a lot of potential because of being the huge financial hub that acts as bridge between Europe and Amerikka, and its like the oldest imperialist country, the only thing is the anti-immigration policies which are crazy with the Tories, along with terf hate crimes happening/rhetoric being spewed throughout the country

    TERFs are a blight on the UK, truely.

    Also they arent really anti-immigration, immigration is at an all time high in the UK right now, the UK political class are masters at saying one thing and doing another.

    A new left-wing alliance is about to start, right now its in the organizing stages under TransformUK, a shit ton of labour members including MPs have quit, and the alliance also includes an independent Liverpool socialist party. Although I have no hope for electoralist reforms, this seems to be something that can aid the people.
