FYI here is a reply from Comrade Rab WSPUS on this matter:
Thank you for calling that post to the SPGB Forum (which I never have visited) re WSPUS activity. He must have e-mailed Darren ONeil who is our only comrade in NYC. I don’t know why Darren didn’t reply but I think he’s pretty busy being a full-time Dad.Below is a copy of my reply to Patrick Ndege, who asked a similar question last February:
The WSPUS is active mostly on line. Over the last year, our Website (WSPUS.org) has averaged between 4500 and 9500 unique visits a month. We also maintain a Googlegroup for our membership to keep in touch and discuss issues that come up. (I am copying your message and this response to that group of comrades.)It is possible for people to buy socialist literature directly from our Website, and also to download material. If you browse around at WSPUS.org, you will find many articles to read, which can be printed out and reproduced for distribution.Regarding local activity on the ground, I can’t tell you much about other parts of the country, but here in the Boston area we distribute books, pamphlets, leaflets, magazines and DVDs regularly at local fairs, festivals, etc. Occasionally we will have a meeting where we invite new contacts to join us for a viewing of the SPGB’s DVD Capitalism & Other Kids Stuff.Since the postal address of the WSPUS is here in Boston, we also handle all the incoming postal mail; but lately that has slowed down to a trickle since so many people are on line. The postal correspondence carried on is mostly with American readers of the Standard who are incarcerated.In summary, we wish we could do more, but we do as much as we can. The USA is a large country and the WSPUS membership is only about 50 (although there is a much larger number of sympathizers).I hope this satisfied your curiosity! May I ask what’s going on in your neck of the woods? No matter how much or how little one is able to do, it’s important that all of us socialists ‘keep on keeping on,’ as they say. There is no activity more important than spreading knowledge and understanding of the case for socialism.
…I do not want to get involved in the SPGB Forum, as I already have enough on my plate!
For Socialism,
Karla
