I joined Labour 3 times.Never again.
"Questions arise for members of the Labour Party. Why would one join a party where being a member means only paying subs and having no voice? Why would one join a party which is itself host to the enemies not only of socialism but of mild social democratic reform? Why would anyone on the left join an organisation that required you to battle the party bureaucracy before you could battle the true political opposition?"

Who does this remind you of?
"Within political parties, the same logic has often reappeared: rally the membership around the leader by creating an “internal other” to be purged — an “other” supposedly conspiring against the very essence of the organisation, which is, in turn, embodied by the leader or ruling clique."
