    Apart from on here, no further discussion has taken place regarding the Liverpool Discussion group for SPGB supporters and members although there is no reason stopping another meeting. I think maybe a public talk would be the next step.

    "The problem with Marxism, …" they said, which is anti-religious sharing, don't be scared of that word, I know we're in America, they said that "… the problem with Marxism is that it placed economics forever at the heart of politics when what belongs at the heart of politics is spirituality!" And socialism, in a way, is just a Christian principle, just that idea that we're all the same, we're all connected, we should share, we can't be happy if other people are suffering, its just a sort of a logical thing.

    add that to

    Socialism isn't a dirty word, it just means sharing; really it's just the bureaucratic arm of Christianity.

    Does it mean relying on facts like 'there is enough food to feed everyone' or 'enough homes to house everyone' might not be a persuasive argument for socialism for many people?

    We broadcast 247 from our HO in Manurewa , Auckland . Because the FM frequency needs to be low powered (otherwise it is deemed to be commercial and thus attracts fees) it will broadcast with clarity within a radius of 5 to 6 kms.

    Not better, but didn't you think Occupy or the Zeitgeist Movement were at least 'similar'?

    Their facebook page which still exists suggests they lasted little over twelve months.

    Can anyone tell us a bit more about the stance on elections of junge linke gegend kapital und nation? Their London affiliation was wine and cheese who produced the journal kittens. Didn't junge link come from electoral parties?
