Should we be arguing that, if Mamdani’s bunch can increase rent controls, there might be a temporary improvement to workers’ living standards but the law of value will operate on wages and the end result will merely be a redistribution of surplus value away from the rentiers and towards the employers?
3 of us gave out about 100 leaflets at Manchester yesterday.
Spartacists, RCG, Socialist Equality Party, SWP, budding leaders of the poor benighted proles all, were at it too, as was a new one on me Greater Manchester Left Caucus. Or was it Carcass?
According to Gary, who peered in en route to the lav, the hall seemed to be about half full – so about 250 attended.I learn from Corbyn (today;s Guardian) that private property is the result of undemocratic politics….
“I’ll go further: undemocratic parties produce undemocratic societies, where a small section of society owns the resources we all need to survive.”
I’m glad he has such a clear grasp of history, and of the future because
“Democratic parties produce democratic societies; where wealth and resources are owned by us all”
So we can confidently expect Your Farty to come out in favour of expropriating the owning class. Not!!
Comrade, this thread is about worldsocialist.org,
which has been set up upon the decision of the companion parties.
You don’t want to waste your time helping with it, you wrote. Your choice of course. But if you decide to discuss worldsocialist.org, please check the facts before you do so.Thanks Comrade
It is obvious that we need to do something about our lack of impact with Spanish speakers.
If you have any concrete suggestions for spreading the message (e.g where to advertise to attract Spanish speakers to our online propaganda and online meetings) please send them to spgb.asstsec@worldsocialism.org. I will forward any ideas to the WSM management committeeComrade
I was referring to worldsocialisT.org not worldsocialisM.org, (¡ojo con la ortografia!) which the companion parties launched on 1 May this year. The Spanish pages are mostly the translation you did a while ago.Compañero,
sabes que existe worldsocialist.org ¿no? tiene paginas en ingles y español
y ¿como se llama este grupo sin influencia castrista-guevarista?You’re close Darren! Actually I speak Uruguayan Spanish. If you’re serious about going to a couple of bookfairs, I may be able to accompany you.
Ciudadano, please see my earlier post – as DJO wrote, it has a different function. Any enquiries generated by the Spanish pages will almost certainly be directed towards existing in-depth articles that you have written/translated – so for goodness sake, don’t delete anything!.
Please be aware that the website concept received the support of all of the companion parties. Hardly a clique….
SaludosAdri/Citizen, Thanks for the info you posted, but please be aware that I didn’t post the GT article for any historical or theoretical acuity – I put it there because GT a CCP mouthpiece – so the article should be useful in countering the nonsense usually spouted about ‘socialist’ China
in response to Darren, thanks for your comments. Audio/visual would certainly be a feature to include in future, but as you will appreciate, we are just taking first steps in a site dedicated to new visitors.
The division into several pages is intentional, to avoid presenting the visitor with an enormous screed. Whether it works or not will have to be seen.
The aim is (apart from presentation of the basic case) to get the visitor to contact us – to allow us to invite them to online meetings (for example) or direct them to other party materials.(BTW the separate pages mean we can monitor how far through the site the visitor goes – this may help us identify improvements in the presentation)
