You’re being ridiculous OGW; some of us have has long reasoned discussions with people like Nick Tapping and others but they didn’t like the arguments. And talking of PR exercises, here’s one such response Mr know-it-all Cox gave to the same Nick Tapping back on the good ole WSM Forum when the “Strike for a Moneyless World” was first getting under way.”If it is a literal attempt to implement a moneyless alternative to capitalism in 2012, then forget about it. It simply aint gonna happen that way and to even attempt it as this point would rebound disastrously on the movement for a moneyless world and discredit it. It would only serve to convey the message that trying to get rid of money is futile. “Keep it real” like Ali G sez.”Leaving aside the woolley-headed notion that it could ever have been successful it seems that the underlying assumption shared by critics like Robocox and yourself is that as the SPGB has not been successful after 108 years and doesn’t have more members, then that must be because it is doing something wrong or failing to do something right. In my opinion that is a totally fallacious and unhelpful outlook. There is. I regret to say, no shortcut to Socialism.
