Left Unfinished

[Groucho]

The corpse that refuses to be burried. Definitively Undead.

Amidst the ongoing chaos and bickering there remains a spark, soon to be a flame, set on realising a burning ambition to set ablaze the roaring fires of change. A democratic impulse unquenched. Networks in place, a growing realisation of the need for a movement, strength in numbers.

Over there we see the odd nutter exploding like a dull firework, but a cosmic irrelevence in the grand scheme of things. The odd premature ejaculation of wank splatters on the pages of pointless sectariana.

Still much work to be done. Still the need for a centralised activist core organised around key principles and capable of acting as a unified fist.

I think you know what I mean....

 

[bluestreak]

That would be an ecumenical matter?

 

[butchersapron]

Yes, it's time for the SWP to batten down the hatches and retreat into cadre hardening 80s style.

RIP this left. Good riddance.

 

[Donna Ferentes]

Purify! Purify!

 

[bluestreak]

Fascists dress in black and tell people what to do, whereas anarchists...

Must have fallen off the back of a communalist tiger.

 

[butchersapron]

Purify! Purify!

Respond! Respond!

Actually, this thread isn't actually an advert for a unified left.

Do we really want a unified left though? I mean, obviously if we were unified in doing things MY way, but do we all want to do things Groucho's way, or Donna's, or butchers'?

Is the problem with the left at the moment disunity or perhaps something different?

I have a way?

What is this, the Karate Kid?

 

[butchersapron]

If you reject the need for a centralised activist core organised around key principles and capable of acting as a unified fist you're a witch-hunter, a modern day Hopkins.

Oh, yeah?!?

Do you not? I have been misled.

Does anyone around here have a way?

 

[butchersapron]

He could act - underneath the ham. As that film demonstrated.

 

[bluestreak]

Oh, yeah?!?

PPFFFFFFFFFF!!!!!

Tell me poster, what is your Way?

 

[poster342002]

Tell me poster, what is your Way?

I wish I had one. If I did, I'd be doing it.

 

[Donna Ferentes]

I follow the Way of the Cat

 

[dennisr]

damn you groucho, my Anita thread is gonna sink like a stone now

 

[Fruitloop]

Donna, earlier.

 

[Spion]

I follow the Way of the Cat

Fair enough, but you should refrain from licking your own arsehole for the time being

 

[Donna Ferentes]

When you sleep, just sleep. When you eat, just eat.

Do nothing except these two things.

Yesterday marked the 90th year since Lenin called for the October Revolution:

And yet not so much as a pip from the so-called "socialists" of Urban 75. You lot are totally out of touch with the issues that really matter. You're beyond help.

 

[audiotech]

Is Len in?

Absenteeism and indifference on the part of the masses is due to their being tired of words and resolutions.

 

[Groucho]

excellent!

No, the SWP are not going to batton down the hatches and retreat to 80s style cadre hardening.

A centralised activist core organised around key principles and capable of acting as a unified fist does not mean operating in isolation, but as part of a broad based pluralist movement, whilst not simply submerging and disappearing into it.

They keep saying that socialism is dead, yet Groucho remains one of the undead.

 

[butchersapron]

Ah right, so it's all about the SWP. Not the working class. Just as i suspected.

And you say this whilst RESPECT crumbles around you as a result of the insistence on operating as 'a centralised activist core organised around key principles and capable of acting as a unified fist.' under the control of the ...SWP as part of a broad based pluralist movement. That's some chutzpah. Fair play.

Have you left yet?

 

[articul8]

a unified fist

Are there any other sorts of fist?

 

[butchersapron]

A malformed fist of a special kind.

3 fingers make one fist!
