Youtube call it 'automatic captioning' an it is based on speech recognition which is renowned for being unreliable and yes, it can be turned off by whoever uploaded the video, and even viewers can choose not to have it displayed whilst watching the video.https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/6373554?hl=enYoutube call turning it off 'unpublishing'.There is nothing stopping anyone manually transcribing the video in the traditional way themselves though.Would this dodgy automatic transcription really be the stated reason EC have taken a dim view of the video?
Other than the typical materials (Standard, pamphlets) what is worth trying to distribute that would foster interest?
For someone misrepresenting 'communism' in a high profile way for over two decades as editor and more as a CPGB member, I would think it would be of some interest. Can't find the Morning Star obituary but here is the Telegraphhttp://www.telegraph.co.uk/obituaries/2016/08/14/tony-chater-editor-of-the-morning-star–obituary/

For exaple, if I publish the minutes of our branch meeting on this site, how could that not be construed as being published by the SPGB. This site is publicly accessible, so according to that interpretation I have breached Rule 17.When Rule 17 was created, those creating it did not have the internet, desk top publishing, websites, blogs, etc. This rule, or the interpretation of it, needs to be changed and changed quickly as such an interpretation would put the kiss of death on about 90% of the current activity taking place in the party.When Rule 17 was created, "handbills" were still a thing people had heard of and distributed.
As in Rule 17 stating 'The Executive Committee shall publish and control the Party literature.' and this statement saying 'any publications … including on public websites such as YouTube'?'
Can't the courts uphold the Leninist model even if members don't agree to the rulebook giving the CC sweeping powers, provided the suit is against Sherborne Publications inc. for membership control over Socialist Review for example. Sherborne Publications Inc. makes no pretense of operating democratically and has a CC member as its director?
Corbyn has dismissed entryists as 'sectarian extremists'
Quote:At no stage in anyone's most vivid imagination are there 300,000 sectarian extremists at largeDo Leninist parties tend to be incorporated associations?If I recall correctly, the SWP is operated through a web of companies including Sherborne Publications with Callinicos as a director. Votes are taken at gerrymandered conferences but the chances of unseating the director are slim.The image of the web of companies was previously posted here but seems to have disappearedhttps://www.urban75.net/forums/threads/swp-expulsions-and-squabbles.303876/page-441
