Just having read an article on Countercurrents (www.countercurrents.org) – a site i look at regularly for its wide ranging topics – this could be another way of spreading our message. The quote below is from Bob Avakian of the US Revolutionary Communist Party re Obama and Syria:
And as the editorial we referenced earlier notes, this is a “teachable moment”—part of transforming people for revolution that will bring to an end this system that has perpetrated such terrible crimes against humanity.
"As part of that, this is a critical moment to bring boldly into every sphere of public life the message of BAsics 3:8:
The interests, objectives, and grand designs of the imperialists are not our interests—they are not the interests of the great majority of people in the U.S. nor of the overwhelming majority of people in the world as a whole. And the difficulties the imperialists have gotten themselves into in pursuit of these interests must be seen, and responded to, not from the point of view of the imperialists and their interests, but from the point of view of the great majority of humanity and the basic and urgent need of humanity for a different and better world, for another way."

Please note I'm not promoting the article per se, just that we could have our version of what should be done, our way to the socialist revolution.
Countercurrents editor, Binu Mathew promotes open source and is open to publishing a wide range of articles and information, with links. I feel sure he'd be open to putting up material from the SPGB, Socialist Standard, WSM, all with links to our website and further articles/info. I guess this should go to members of the editorial committee – however, any thoughts?
Just to add, a few minutes later, here's a talk (video) from the same party by Larry Everest:http://www.countercurrents.org/everest140913.htmI can't watch it – not enough band width, but it's just to make the point again about reaching a wider audience.
Where publications solicit material, by all means, SPGB material should be shared. However, I'd go for more narrower audiences.Here are some blogs looking for contenthttp://www.thenorthstar.info/?p=10171http://links.org.au/and a group keen to host debates who have expressed some interest in the SPGBhttp://platypus1917.org/
