There’s no Trotskyist World Socialist Party. The (so-called) World Socialist Website is run by the International Committee of the Fourth International (whose companion parties are called ‘Socialist Equality Party’).
Even though Socialist Alternative (SPEW) is only unofficially known as ‘the Socialist Party’, it would never be tolerated if they decided to unofficially steal the name of one of the major parties.
I would propose changing the name of our party to ‘the World Socialist Party’, but I assume it would never be approved by the majority of members. This is because they vote against changing even a single word of our object & declaration of principles.

Supporters of capitalism say that it’s easier to imagine the end of the world than it is to imagine the end of capitalism; which is crazy because:
1. Capitalism has only existed for a few hundred years; and
2. The more advanced technology becomes, the easier it will be to meet everyone’s needs in a socialist society.

I know, but it’s hard to describe: use-value; exchange-value; & surplus-exchange-value to our fellow workers in one conversation.
The Perfect Year – Dina Carroll
This is from the musical version of ‘Sunset Boulevard’. It’s a fantastic song sung by a fantastic singer.

Cowshit?! I hope that’s not referencing the music I’ve posted! (my name being Moo). It’s not very nice to insult other people’s taste in music.
Here’s a northern soul sounding song you might like:
Here Comes My Baby by the Tremeloes
Gorton & Denton by-election result:
52% – Didn’t vote because they sub-consciously know that changing clowns won’t end the circus.
20% – Green
14% – Reform UK
12% – Labour
2% – Others
I’d love to know how many people wrote: ‘World Socialism’ on their ballots.
Won’t get Fooled Again – the Who
The Who’s iconic anthem from 1971’s Who’s Next album, performed here on B-Stage at Shepperton Studios on 25 May 1978 Filmed by Jeff Stein for the closing sequence of The Kids Are Alright. Sadly, this was to be the very last performance ever by Keith Moon.
Thanks go to D.A. for helping me decide which song to post next in Underplayed Classics, via his article in the February 2026 Socialist Standard.
Best lyric: “Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss”
Relatively recently, there was a news-story about a man who died from his injuries after falling from a lamp-post while attempting to put an English flag at the top of it.
Nationalism kills.
Here’s some clarification on labelled generations (two of which are mentioned in the article):
– The Greatest Generation (born in the 1920’s & ’30’s)
– Baby Boomers (’40’s & ’50’s)
– Generation X (’60’s & ’70’s)
– Millennials (’80’s & ’90’s)
– Generation Z, also known as: Zoomers (2000’s & ’10’s)
– Generation Alpha (2020’s & ’30’s)
IMO, there’s no such thing as labelled generations. Think of it: the very oldest Millennials were in their early 20’s when 9/11 happened, whereas, the very youngest were infants.
