What will happen if Jeremy Corbyn does win?
In Britain, left-wing anti-austerity candidate, Jeremy Corbyn, is looking well-placed to win the leadership of the Labour party. This is the Labour party which had been considerably to the right, even, of the French Socialist Party. Labour governements introduced huge fees for university students, privatized swathes of nationalized organizations etc. Corbyn is against all nuclear weapons and in favour of trade union rights.
Millions of British people are encouraged by the movement behind Corbyn. But at the same time, people look at Greece and see how difficult it is to effectively oppose austerity while the dictatorship of profit lasts, and how easy it can be for left wing leaders to abandon the interests of the workers.
In this article, Alex Callinicos, a leading member of the British Socialist Workers Party, asks the question "what if he wins?"
