ParticipantTry again:hello all,One for the anoraks.Just inviting list members to subscribe to a blog I maintain:Link: Socialist Standard Past & PresentThere's a subscription button in the top right hand corner of the blog, where you can submit your email address and receive email notifications of articles and reviews newly added to the blog.The blog is a combination of articles from the most recent Socialist Standards interspersed with articles and reviews from Socialist Standards – and other companion journals – from yesteryear, and which in many cases are appearing on the net for the very first time (some are already on the net as part of PDF'd Socialist Standards).Of course, in the fullness of time, those articles and reviews new to the net will be placed in the Socialist Standard archive on this website.Recent additions to the blog include a series of articles from the September 1954 commemorative issue:Link: September 1954And a few articles from the September 1979 commemorative issue:Link: September 1979That's just a wee sample. There's other articles and reviews dating from 1919 up until the 1990s. Something for everyone. More added when I have the time.yfs

ParticipantI spotted the plug on SOYMB but I didn't catch the plug on Socialist Courier. Cheers for both.I am committed to trying to maintain the same level of recent posting in the New Year but these things are always contingent upon family commitments and other stuff.cheers

ParticipantI've not been following this thread but if members have been using the term 'banned', then Slothjabber's right, it's daft and inappropriate. I was one of the Party members in the early 2000s who, as a member of the Campaigns Dept, would apply for a Party stall at the Anarchist Bookfair and, if I remember rightly, we were always politely turned down for the obvious reasons. We didn't make a particular big deal of it then, and we shouldn't make a big deal out of it now. And I'm definitely not one of those members who see ourselves as being the Parliamentary wing of the Anarchist Movement. I shudder at the very thought.Good luck to the CWO at being the left communist wing of the Anarchist Movement. I guess I always thought it was kind of weird that both the CWO and the ICC would place so much emphasis on the British Anarchist movement, but I just put it down to the fact it was a space where they would get a hearing. (More the CWO than the ICC.) Good luck to them.

ParticipantBut it was online. MySpace let me do.I'm going through the old files and finding a few other articles that were on the myspace blog but were lost when mypace decided to delete everyone's blogs. They'll be posted on the blog, and forwarded onto the Internet Committee for inclusion in the Standard archive.I've been busy last few weeks with getting old Standard articles online. See for yourself on the blog:http://socialiststandardmyspace.blogspot.com/

ParticipantOK, I found the Harrington article via a zip file I downloaded from my old MySpace Socialist Standard page:http://socialiststandardmyspace.blogspot.com/2013/11/a-better-kind-of-capitalism.htmlI'm sure it will go on the Party website in the fullness of time.

ParticipantJust spotted this on a thread on Facebook:http://www.theguardian.com/theguardian/2013/feb/01/colin-tipton-obituaryIt's from earlier this year, but I knew the name rang a bell.eta: Colin Tipton was the SWP's representative in the 1985 debate with the SPGB.
