The main thing that has recently drawn me back to socialism is the Occupy movement. I have not fully studied them and I am sure most are not socialist but I have come accross a general consensus that it is non violent, leaderless, not in favour of any political party. seeks a world wide solution to capitalism, some advocate the abolition of money and the wages system. This talk gave me a little hope that the working class are waking up. I have spoken to a group on twitter and they say they seek the abolition of nation states, money and wages. voluntary cooperation and free access. I didn’t join them as I already knew the SPGB existed.I spend a lot of time on twitter directing groups to the SPGB for a leaderless political movement for world socialism.( But I have now been suspended). They may be searching and we need to be there. Its a pity if they look our way and receive nothing but ridicule.I know we become cynical over the years. I joined in the 70s full of hope. When I suggested to an old comrade that things are happening. He told me to stop taking drugs. We have to have hope I believe socialist consciousness dawns on us like a Gestalt shift in perception. All the information is there we just don’t see it, therefor socialist consiousness could literally happen over night
