Another take on it herehttp://www.borderland.co.uk/index.php/19-facism-and-antifacism/131-the-bnp-s-nick-griffin-gets-booted-upstairs-facts-behind-the-spin.html
For reference, the article in the Morning Star is by Jon Wight a Stalinist, and nothing to do with me.http://socialistunity.com/malaysian-passenger-aircraft-tragedy-responsibility-sought-prolong-conflict-eastern-ukraine/
We can have a fun discussion if you are amenable, but I'm not going to go ad hominem just because I disagree with you.
DJP wrote:LBird wrote:most 'people' share exactly the same ideasOh dear. If that where true I'm not sure why we would need this forum.I'm just getting the feeling you havn't considered what I said. You havn't replied to much of my points just repeated what you have said 1000 times before…Yes, no individual exists seperatly from their place in history and in society.And yes science and language are social activities. These are nothing but banalities.But at the same time it is not "individualist" to suggest that there is not going to be complete uniformity amongst members of a group.I fail to see what point you are trying to make other than we do not share the same ideas, which seems to contradict your starting point.Maybe take up my essay suggestion because I don't see this current discussion going anywhere.
If most 'people' share exactly the same ideas, we certainly would not need forum moderators and DJP, if you're still a moderator, you should probably declare an interest here in "opposing" this idea, that is even if your opposition to an idea is possible as per LBird.
Where's LBird when you need him in threads like this which are actually about numpty's notions of "materialism"?
A CWO speaker who has debated the SPGB appears to have airbrushed the SPGB opposition to the First World War from labour history in their talk 'The only war worth fighting is the class war.' at the anarchist bookfair.At 8:21 the CWO speaker John states "I won't go into the various british ones today but the only group and it was a group rather than an organisation that can claim to have had any real anti-war policy was completely was the Socialist Labour Party."This is the same CWO speaker who accused the SPGB of being "schooled in Stalinism" in Part 6 at 10:30 of 'Can a Majority of Workers Develop Socialist Conciousness Under Capitalism?' available under audio.http://www.worldsocialism.org/spgb/audio/can-majority-workers-develop-socialist-conciousness-under-capitalism
For info, Charlie Kimber, national secretary of the SWP states he did not attend Eton or any public schoolhttps://twitter.com/charlieswp/status/487471068039626753
Marxists use the term materialism in a very specific way. This is not the way you are using the word materialism. "It is illogical to attack a single commercial publisher for engaging in business practices which are, by economic necessity, no different from those of every other one."
