Is this why he handled the antisemitism charges so badly during his election? Did he just never fight back on those or something? I was in the midst of Bernie fever and wasn’t super paying attention to UK politics at the time.
That is Corbyn’s biggest weakness, he knows he’s from a privileged background, so any accusation of racism or anti-semitism, he’ll be on the defensive. He’s too nice of a guy to be successful in the vicious bourgeois political landscape dominated by corporate media, they’ll slander him no matter he does.
