Sunday 27 October 2024
The closed-shop student union model has paradoxically led to an all-encompassing, yet strikingly unrepresentative model of democracy.

In this article, I will make the case from a left-wing perspective to abolish mandatory membership and replace it with voluntary association.

This piece will address an increasingly problematic narrative I have been seeing in news media and discussions in apparent “left-wing” outlets in the West, there is also a huge conglomerate of leftist content creators who promote these same narratives some examples to keep an eye out for are Richard Medhurst, ”SaveSheikhjarrahnow”, Max Blumenthal.

I am referring to the common misrepresentation of the Islamic Republic of Iran as a bulwark against imperialism and Western hegemony.

In a world which really is topsy-turvy, the true is a moment of the false
According to Guy Debord, organiser of the Situationist International (SI) anti-capitalist movement, “in a world which really is topsy-turvy, the true is a moment of the false”. What appears as true is false; what is false is true. We, students, see this everywhere, including in our universities and student unions.
