Quote:At the same time, many original activist documents are languishing in people’s attics, basements, garages and other storage areas. These need to be located and preserved. If you have a collection of left-wing ephemera stored away somewhere, do try to find it and think about donating (or selling or at least, lending) it to people who can digitise it and preserve this (often obscured) history.jondwhite wrote:https://hatfulofhistory.wordpress.com/2016/10/17/starting-a-discussion-about-self-archiving-political-movements-and-the-international-left/Quote:At the same time, many original activist documents are languishing in people’s attics, basements, garages and other storage areas.

The Marxist Internet Archives had all their file on DVD format, and now they have them on hard drive.We can burn all the files on DVD and they can be distributed to others countries. In this forum we are assuming that everybody around the world have internet or a computer, there are many peoples around the world that they must rent a computer, or they must go to a library to be able to use a computer.We need peoples with the disposition to learn to speak and write more than one language. We have to open the doors and windows of our minds. There are already leftist organizations that are printing their materials in different languagesThe Socialist Party is not England, the socialist party is for the whole world. The WSPUS for example is seating on top of big barrel of gun powder, and when it socially explodes, they would not know what they are going to do, they are surrounded by workers who speak more than one language
