    I think the book, which is focused on their (lack of) literary ability; includes right-wing as well as a left-wing dictators. But then perhaps right wing dictators appeal to the less literate anyway.

    Live broadcasting from HQ on the internet with a link from our website might be worth a thought.

    Evidence of claimed live broadcasting from NZ HQ would be a start.

    I just borrowed this from the library and have started reading it. It is good so far.

    I thought the flag was a photoshop. Is it actually for sale? Can a link be provided here?

    Unless you're talking about 'Socialist Party of Canada' (est. 1904) vs 'The Socialist Party of Canada' (est. 1931) I think you're thinking of WSPUS.

    I'm not sure how prevalent left anti semitism is but Zionists might have a point when lefties neglect to argue Palestine (or North Korea or Russia) has no right to exist. So anti semitism as "“delegitimize, demonize, or apply double standards to” the State of Israel." Is partially correct.

    The phrase 'world socialist movement' is used without reference to us I suppose and possibly this could be more prevalent in languages other than English.

    I looked up the ISBN (7300073182) and it comes up with a 381 page book in Chinese language from 2006 with the same title. There is this page http://www.worldsocialism.org/english/introducing-world-socialist-movement but that wouldn't translate into 381 pages. Is it a translation of Wikipedia articles?

    IS Cliffites (the Socialist Workers Party) and Alliance for Workers Liberty have said to me the SPGB is 'sectarian' and 'abstract propagandist and removed from the class struggle'. Is this a genuine misunderstanding of our case? I often wonder if they aren't just following Lenin in delivering ad hominem insults.
