Forget it. I'm sick of the hassle it takes to cut and paste a few lines to this forum. The formatting is bollocks. A waste of time.
My facebook timeline is telling me that today is the 77th anniversary of the assassination of Trotsky. On cue, here's an article from the September 1940 issue of the Socialist Standard on said event, and an assessment of Trotsky's political life:Link: The Death of Trotsky
A twitter account called 'Danny Dorling News' just tweeted the article. I'm premusing it's a fan boy account, rather than Danny Dorling himself. The account has 12 thousand followers.
Usually 'celebrity' twitter accounts will have blue ticks next to them as conformation that these are "authentic accounts". There wasn't one for the Danny Dorling News twitter so I presumed it wasn't him personally in charge of the account."Can someone be their own fan boy?"Well, if he will insist on referring to himself in the third person by calling his twitter account 'Danny Dorling News' . . .
Vin,Can you cut and paste the comment as text? I can't actually read the comment because the image overlaps into the page's sidebar.
I forgot about this movie clip. Maybe it needs a bump. Here's the direct link to clip on YouTube, rather than via that wanker's Inveresk Street Ingrate blog:Link: Abolishing money in the Merry Frinks (1934)
Vin wrote:Has the membership ever considered setting up a 'sympathisers' group? For the want of a better word.It sounds too much like a slippery slope to having a two-tier membership. I'm not a fan of the idea.
An SPGB comrade was kind enough to send me some scans of 1968 Socialist Standard front covers, so that's prompted a slew of 1968 Socialist Standard articles and reviews posted on the internet for the first time. Fill your boots:Link: 1968 to me means Paris, Czechoslovakia and Dunfermline winning the Scottish Cup.
Good that they are both now up from 1910. I'll look through some other old Standards to see if there are other election statements that have yet to be put on the net.
