The more guns the better. Once socialists have control of the state machine they will be used to ensure there is no violent counter-revolution.

General pamphlets on broad themes such as ecology, war, Marxian economics etc have their place , of course, but they need to be complemented by this more specific and targeted kind of approach in my view.If by 'intermediate',' narrow' and 'targeted' you mean topical, then this would be going down the wrong road. A pamphlet, say, on the conflict in Syria would quickly become obsolete upon victory for one side or the other. Syria would be forgotten and the pamphlet of little interest. There is an amusing suggestion in message 3. Now, suppose back in the 1960's the Party had produced a pamphlet called 'Wilson'. I suppose today it would have curiosity value, certainly for those who collect these things, but at the time the Party would have wasted its resources. Topicality is for articles in the Socialist Standard and leaflets. Pamphlets set out the broad socialist arguments dealing with the main features and shortcomings of capitalism. In that way they have, if nothing else, a longer shelf-life.

Anyone who can commit what amounts to a schoolboy howler ought to have their understanding of, and adherence to the MCH called into question. I've had my doubts about you for a long time.

Every time this incident was mentioned on TV it showed the bar with Head Office next to it.What a pity more black men can't get themselves blown away outside Head Office. Think of all the free publicity!

On the Marxist Animalism thread your beliefs about the writings of Aquinas and their 'influence' earned you a justified rebuke.
