"Class interests" only make sense on the level of the class as a whole, not on the level of individuals.

The government of the USA Psyops division did a similar trick with the media by promting the term "conspiracy theory" and associating it with crazy people.My favourite conspiracy theory is the one that the term "conspiracy theorist" was invented by the CIA. Of course it wasn't.. http://www.csicop.org/specialarticles/show/nope_it_was_always_already_wrong
I think the purpose of the "off-topic" rule is not to make the forum into an equivalent of the word association game "just a minute", but to enable a means of preventing individuals and groups from turning every post into one about their pet topic, gripe or obsession. It's one thing for conversation to naturally progress, it's another to continually force the same topic upon people.
FWIW see number 11 here:https://faq.worldsocialism.org/index.php?sid=4841&lang=en&action=artikel&cat=5&id=11&artlang=en

Communism or socialism would be the community as a whole producing what the community as a whole needs and requires. It wouldn't be individuals exchanging goods and services on the basis of labour time, which is pretty much the situation we have already.Things like time banks might be worthwhile for some people within the context of Capitalism, but they are not an example of socialised production.
ALB wrote:Just occurred to me. DJP has identified the person spouting currency crank ideas as a UKIP MEP. If we get his name we can challenge him to debate and publically expose the bollox he's talking.According to the caption on the first few frames of the video, it's Godfrey Bloom.

Is it not more constructive to deal with the substantive content of what he is saying rather than simply sticking labels on him?I doubt he would take two of those as an insult.If you want to know why what he says is crankism, I suggest you read this thread from the beginning or search the site for "fractional reserve"
lindanesocialist wrote:Thought this might be of interest https://www.facebook.com/WeAreChange.org/videos/10154586609088690/ That guy is a UKIP MEP, a currency crank and probable anti-semite too. These people are not our friends!

He says one things and later one say ssomething else. He is taking us as bunch of foolI agree. I have no idea why this "questionnaire" has been composed or why the creator thought the need to do so, seeing as he clearly has not understood the WSM case for socialism. Is he trying to pitch for work?
