    – Academia.edu: Over 53 million academics have signed up to Academia.edu, adding 19 million papers. Academia.edu attracts over 36 million unique visitors a month.

    We have received 28 emails during 3/7/2017 to 2/8/2017.

    Sher Singh: Faridabad Majdoor Samachar, June 2017 issue received

     

    Outbound: Responses as required to incoming correspondence.

    MSC: To receive and file incoming and to endorse outgoing correspondence.

     

    Matters Arising: The EC notes that Tabrez Julaha Ajlaf is going on ignoring our repeated warnings to stop violating our OBJECT and DECLARATION OF PRINCIPLES, MANIFESTO and RULES while uploading or posting comments on the social media. He has been supporting reformist posts at random, upholding violence, using vulgar slangs against his opponents, supporting the Gorkhaland agitations (petty-nationalist violence), armed insurrection and slighting the WSP (I). And above all he has already initiated his own parallel reformist organisation – Cooperative of Unemployeds – having its Facebook forum – Unemployed Youths Discussion Forum. These are all detrimental to the interest of the Party.

    MSC: That in view of the findings as stated above this EC suspends his membership for three months from this date within which he has to stop all such violations and dissolve his reformist jamboree. – Agreed.

     

    Reports of Executives and Committees:

     

    Advancement of the Movement:

    [B, Sarkar and P. Singha are going on posting and interacting on Facebook timelines. H.S. Ghosh is writing letters to Bengali dailies.]

    Academia.edu

    They are now displaying some 61 papers and 12 drafts 15 books (actually 15 chapters of a book) and 3 teaching documents uploaded by BS.

    Over 53 million academics have signed up to Academia.edu, adding 19 million papers. Academia.edu attracts over 36 million unique visitors a month. We see this fast growing global association very useful for uploading and propagating world socialist ideas which are being viewed by many. So our comrades should make use of this scope.

     

    The World Socialist Party (India)_Discussion Forum and the website: http://www.worldsocialistpartyindia.org are attracting new contacts although a few dropping.

    Facebook: Discussion Forum membership stands at 1,922

    Unfinished Business: None

     

    New Business:

    NO REFORMATION NO PROMISES NO RELIGION NO LEADERSHIP

    We need ~

    SELF-EMANCIPATION OF OUR CLASS

    Through ~ Political class struggle,

    In a peaceful and democratic way,

    By applying our power of number

    Via ballot in elections,

    And establishing a ~

    moneyless wageless classless stateless

     

     

     

    BASED ON

     

    UNIVERSAL OWNERSHIP DEMOCRATIC CONTROL PRODUCTION FOR USE

    FREE ACCESS FOR ALL ACCORDING TO SELF-DEFINED NEEDS

     

    That’s the end of poverty, famine, environmental destruction and war,

    In addition, beginning of peace, freedom and participatory democracy:

    The only practical alternative awaits recognition.

    Socialism needs you – And you need Socialism.

    Recognize Socialism – Vote only for Socialism.
