Things that all far left groups can agree on?

[TremulousTetra]

While not in total agremeent with all of these common beliefs....

There is no parliamentary road to socialism, therefore the left does not organise itself as a traditional political party, i.e fighting elections, internal democracy etc.

The historical inevitability of socialist victory makes our victory a matter of certianty. It is not a matter of if we win, but when.

The ends always justify the means.

what about the common ruin of the contending classes? Nothing is inevitable. And the ends do not justify the means.

Couldn't they put their differences aside and merge into one group based around the common aims?

that would be absolutely brilliant. Because they all have their own skills to bring to the table, which would create an awesome movement.

Might as well put some cats into a bag.

Would you like to itemise the groups and their skills? Go on!

Go on, go on, go on....

I suspect that being against cats being put in bags is one of the few things that almost all far left groups agree on.

Since they seem to spend a lot of time arguing I thought I'd do this thread.

NOTHING!!

Because whatever a rival comes out with, they will still find it too extreme/not extreme enough/ worded wrongly etc etc. Its all very very sad.

 

[trevhagl]

and anyone with a sense of humour is probably banned from whatever left group it is...

was there not some old lefty bloke - union leader or some such - who claimed that you could always tell the MI5 officer in an organisation because he/she was the competent one who did all the work?

I agree that the ends do not justify the means- but i think it is a common trait among many on the left that anything is justfiable in the quest for power.

As to inevitability, it is evidenced by the lack of priority given by the leaderships to any left unity projects. I see the attitude that if we dont win say the 2010 general election, no worries, there is 2015, 2020, 2025.....
