“So what else do we do then? If we don’t have any suggestions, then I say again, lets get the hep from people who do know how to do such things. Or do we just continue to do what we have been until it works or we run completely out of resources.”
In a word, yes, but with increased resolve and vigour. And the only resources we’re likely to run out of in the forseeable future is the loss of good comrades who become disillusioned and throw in the towel.
“And if we’re such a principled organisation, how is it that we justify investing in the stock market?”
The argument was won decades ago against those in the party who opposed opening a deposit account. While I and others consider there is an ethical element to the socialist case the party’s main plank is along class lines. Clawing back a little of the surplus value taken from our class is adequate justification.
