Are you arguing the SPGB hostility clause is an example of tribalism? I would argue not. Or is your tribalism strictly race based?

You tell us what 'tribal and territorial' human (homo sapiens sapiens?) instincts are immutable (irrespective of economics) and we and other non-socialists will knock it down.

Video conferencing has been used for EC members to attend EC meetings years ago. Chairs at conference/ADM have read out correspondence from members too.

Don't suppose there are any CDs left in HO office of the Black Flag debate to distribute at this?

[jondwhite]

Socialist Studies have uploaded Hardy's talk on the 'First four chapters of Capital'Their journal also states fourteen CDs are available.

[jondwhite]

A reminder that these talks are still available on CD herehttp://socialistpartytalks.blogspot.co.uk/

The OP was asking about strategy and some of these replies are about reformism not strategy. As for the left supporting reformism only to win power, that fails to rule out the left as revolutionary.

There'd be no point in contesting elections together as we stand for fundamentally different things. Unity is not what is holding back socialism. Marx and Engels have written about this, James Connolly and Wilhelm Liebknecht too. Would you like particular texts?
