Thank you for your
Thank you for your replies:
1. Hatton – just like SPGB members have left the movement, as I said, so did Hatton. Your point is? Like capitalist members of the SPGB, Hatton has joined that class (or trying to). The difference is he would not be welcome back, as he’s in the wrong class, whereas SPGB members who are capitalists ARE surprisingly welcome within your ‘proletarian’ party! Square that circle.
2. Falklands – even with your selective editing you can see opposition to the war. Many pages of the Militant newspaper had headlines against the war, as you know.The quote poses the question that if (and it’s a big one to being theoretical) the Labour Party adopted socialism and Britain changed to a socialist based economy and political system, then the Argentinian invasion would be of a different character – a captalist country invading a socialist one. In that theoretical case, armed defence would be justified. Just as if the SPGB’s ideas won over populations here and abroad, socialism introduced and then attacked by capitalist countries, you would support armed defence, especially as you claim not to be pacifists.
