      Id agree, huge fan of them, but I'm pretty sure Gilmour is a reactionary but still. Huge statement from Roger, immediately made me like him quite a bit more. I always knew he was the most radical member, but I had suspected it would stop prior to defending existing socialist projects. Happy surprise 😎

        Gilmour did support Corbyn. I wouldn't say he is a reactionary. Maybe just standard Lib?

          Sticking with Corbyn in 2019 was definitely a touch more than "standard lib" with the antisemitism and IRA terrorist smears in full swing. There's definitely a split among demsocs and the soft-left with the actual communists over Ukraine. The Trots are split on it too. Even the fucking Maoists are debating Taiwan. Just about the only group that isn't split at all right now are MLs. Anarchists in the UK are generally not involved in any opinion of foreign policy or geopolitics they're completely absorbed in domestic praxis and aren't drawn on it, partly because they're way to small and have no large guiding influences so they're just little groups getting on with it.

            ML's on the correct side of history again, might I say 😎

          Honestly I might have just assumed since all the lib/reactionary Pink Floyd fans latch onto David as a way to avoid Roger and his more obvious politics. It would be so nice to know the whole band is at the very least Corbyn and left of that.

        I'm absolutely stoked about this, and seeing someone with his reach making these statements is fucking awesome and unironically very brave.
