Following is a discussion on the page titled: Letters.
Below is the discussion so far. Feel free to add your own comments!Another letter received on this:Dear Editors, RE: R. BrandTotally agree with Ian McRae – Letters Soc. Stand. January 2014 – he has hit the nail right on the head with his comments and condemnation of R. Brand.Your printed reply is very disappointing after so much learned writing which appears in the Socialist Standard – anyone new to Socialism and reading this article on first viewing of the Soc. Standard would, in my opinion, be likely to put the magazine down and forget the idea of a new way of living as led by as yet another ' bunch of nutters'.Biggest problem we have is continuing with the title SOCIALISM – the majority of people to whom I talk about this logical idea of human progression and betterment invariably condemn the title Socialism as State Capitalism with their minds wandering off in the direction of the next 'big bucks' job or 'who's won the footy tonight' ! Is a change possibly on the cards ?T.L. Smith
Anyone who wants to change the world and doesn’t like the soaps , Xfactor and Come Dancing is seen as a ‘nutter’. Every inspiration and new discovery is condemned by the narrow minded. "Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.” ― Apple Inc.
