Interesting link, thanks. Not much of a Declaration – for a start they could declare what they want, rather than just what they don’t approve of. Same in London. The allusion is to ‘a system that has been corrupted’ in which people now need to ‘make their voices heard’ to governments – I would rather talk about an essentially corrupt system which can’t be mended by voices, tents, or governments.Are they evolving and not going to whither? I’m happy to take your word for it, but it doesn’t really concern me and I’ll explain why: expecting this wave of protest – in favour of a moral, just, fair, free market economy – to evolve into a movement for socialism smells to me a lot like expecting accumulated reforms to evolve into socialism itself.Capitalism has always been grim, and it can’t be regulated to work otherwise. What would you like the SPGB Task Force to do beyond providing routes and means for people to understand that?
