SPGBers will dirty their

SPGBers will dirty their hands in the economic struggle to defend workers, such as participating in trade unions to defend and improve wages but refuse to do the same when it comes to workers trying to defend their social wage e.g. benefits, NHS, schools etc. You and I know that such struggles can be directly linked to the failure of capitalism with socialism as the only answer. But you choose to turn your backs on both the labour and socialist movements and not participate. Where was the SPGB on the recent TUC march which showed how strong the workibg class is? Why doesn’t the SPGB participate in TUSC (Trade Union and Socialist Coalition) which stood hundreds of candidates in the recent local elections? (If you are unaware, TUSC is a democratic federalist coalition where socialist groups keep their identity and propaganda but agree on anti-cuts agenda, when fighting elections). You wouldn’t touch either with a barge pole through fear of being contanimated with that most terrible disease: Reformism.
This leads me back to your position on leadership, which is bogus. We all know democracy when we see it but you try to create this myth that the SPGB is the only democratic socialist group and workers are stupid blind followers of leaders. Now this either demonstrates a subconcious low opinion of the class you hope to see liberated or a propanda tactic. I think you are playing at the latter. Unfortunately it means you will not participate in the struggle to defend workers gains and therefore the true solution of socialis m is ignored. .
