ALB – “if you want reforms you might as well vote for a party that has a chance of getting elected and so in a position to implement some.”
The state will only implement reforms that benefit the working class (to a certain extent) if it can afford to do so (if the economy is booming, which it isn’t).
Also, I wonder how many people voted for us because they thought we were SPEW.
I’ll Remember – Madonna
For those who don’t remember the film this song was featured in, it was ‘With Honors’
Love Potion Number 9 – the Searchers
Fun fact: This song was written by the same men who wrote Hound Dog & Jailhouse Rock.
” Unfortunately there is quite a proportion of social and private blocks which are not normally accessible.”
Social blocks?
Firstly, I totally agree with Paula. It’s a great way of seeing how many supporters we have (my local branch of the Green Party did it when I was a member). It would be nice if the posters (& the T-shirts) have a positive message on them, e.g. Produce Directly For Use; One World One People, etc.
Secondly, ‘UK Garage’ – is that: the genre of music; a mechanic’s workshop; or a little bungalow* for cars?

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.
