    You realise Rosa Luxemburg's most famous work was 'Reform or Revolution'?

    Looks like we could possibly animate but that we need professionals to draw original art. We also must emulate the Harvey and Zizek animations insofar as using existing talks as the audio. These are the successful animations and deviating from this model would be defeating the purpose.

    In the last but one issue Jock Conrad described Alan Buick as the SPGB leader, and no one has disabused him. Not even Buick.

    To remove the concept of leader and leadership from the left , it is like removing the concept of pastor or priest from a religious person. It is another distinction of Leninism, from Marxism

    That sounds like you are accusing the party of Leninism.

    The materia-bot is clearly more sophisticated than the SPGB-bot.

    While a bit repetitive, that would at least pass the Turing test.

    mcolome1; are you an SPGB chatbot? It's something I've long thought about proposing but didn't realise the internet committee already got there first. Not sure if you'd pass the Turing test though.

    The blog no longer exists and there have been no more updates since the last one I posted here. The twitter is still tweeting but can we declare this defunct?

    Remember Theresa May cosying up with the Saudis in order to sell weapons when they accuse the Labour leadership of supporting terrorists.

    To talk about the return of Engels it is like talking about Post-Marxism. Both means that socialism was  tried, or placed on the side, and it cameback again. According to  the Marxists Humanist Engels is a post-marxist

    Which Marxist Humanists and where did they say this?
