The CPGB who are a smaller organisation do this weekly and publish new podcasts at http://cpgb.podbean.com
Thanks for your replies. Posted yesterday, there’s some more details at 3 minutes 30 seconds in at http://cpgb.podbean.com/2012/01/16/swp-conference/
There’s a banned Morman cartoon here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n3BqLZ8UoZk. Reminds me of when toy manufacturers in the 1980s produced cartoons like He-Man and the Masters of the Universe. I notice Santorum also wants to introduce Judeo-Christian Sharia law in the US. There was feature in Salon I think about how many Republican candidates believe in Christian Dominionism, some Christian even mentioned it “we [christians] have dominion over the earth” on The Big Questions this morning. Insane.
Well I suppose its speculative and we might agree to disagree but I think Hitchens did more for atheism than he ever did for the US case for the invasion of Iraq. The debate with Galloway is probably the best one of that decade not that either one of those political beliefs is worth supporting, just that they were good orators. Ironically, strictly speaking Hitchens was the Trotskyist debating the Labourite Galloway. One might say Trotskyism is what you make of it.
David Boyle’s book The New Economics is reviewed at Make Wealth History.http://makewealthhistory.org/2010/01/29/the-new-economics-by-david-boyle-and-andrew-simms/
I like to think the SPGB treat ex-members with some of the same ideas not quite as shoddily as SWP treat Hitchens. Although its probably no accident that Alex Callinicos’ obituary glosses over what Hitchens is best known for outside of left circles – popularising atheism in the United States. This might sit a bit uncomfortably with SWP who offered use of prayer rooms at more than one Marxism festival up until recently.
According to the facebook group you need to try and reset your password. There was an opportunity during a break in the downtime but I don’t think it worked for anyone then.
A bit like http://www.askasocialist.com/ but reddit is only moderated after you post.
