Reply To: More on Brexit

I view robbo as a schoolboy bully with minions around him and thus treat him with the same contempt.

 

Oh pleeeez.  Vin, get a grip.

 

I  simply criticised you for coming out with the ridiculous statement that  “The SPGB is small because it is hostile to workers and their attempts to feed and house themselves”

 

Now, apparently,  because I have criticised you, I’ve suddenly become a “schoolboy bully”.  All I can say is you have got to  be “super sensitive”  if you dont like the idea of others criticising you..   There is another word for that but I won’t mention it.  Try to grow a thicker skin if you can’t handle criticism.

 

You talk about strawman arguments but your whole contribution has been one long strawman argument.   So Corbyn recognises there is a class divide in  society.  Great! And your point is – what?   Socialists are quite happy to acknowledge that at least Corbyn is saying something that you wouldn’t see a Tory politician saying.  But at the end Corbyn’s Labour Party is as fully committed to capitalism as the Tories.   THAT is why we oppose him and his Party or do you prefer that we did not?

 

You also talk about the SPGB’s “sectarianism”  but frankly you have shown nothing but sectarianism in your bitter attacks on the SPGB.   Please stop it.  You are alienating a lot of people who once had a lot of sympathy for you when you were in SPGB.  You chose to leave even when you were urged to remain. That in itself make your hostility all the more baffling and uncalled for.
