Well done Danny. If we keep reiterating the Socialist message, we will eventual crack the thick resinous skull of "pro-Capitalist" sentiment.I was talking to a guy I've known for a while, in Deneside WMC tonight and he informed me that, for all the years of the existence of The SPGB, we hadn't got very near reaching our goal. I informed him, first of all, that this goal, was not "for" the SPGB but in the best interests of "all" workers! We would blissfully talk our way into non-existence, to help bring about a society, based on production for use, not profit. I also told him, that, with every different variant the "Pro-Capitalist" parties had tried to make Capitalism work, they were even farther away than the SPGB in achieving their aims. Moreover, we did not have the benefit of the hundreds of billions spent on "pro-Capitalist" education, that inculcates kids in the ethos of this system! Nor did we control Newspapers, TV and Radio stations, whose role is to back up the "Ideological Hegemony" of the Capitalist Class! Don't worry, I explained what Ideological Hegemony is and meant. Steve Colborn.
Comrades, time permitting we can also discuss a "face to face" meeting, at the forthcoming special meeting. Comrade Darrell Whitehead has suggested a talk or film might persuade members to attend, which it might well do! What do N.E. members think?
twc, I am afraid that, reading your posts, leaves me with the inescapable conclusion that you are pidgeonholing human beings as mere, "things", outside of a seperate consciousness of "humanness". Of merely being adjuncts to the system, rather than individual, self-aware, conscious, empathic, sympathetic, creatures. You seem to have transposed the unfeeling reality of Capitalism, to flesh and blood, thinking animals, that humans, most assuredly are. To have disregarded our ability to adapt, enthuse and create to, our circumstances and moreover to do this to the appaling situations our fellow humans find themselves in. In other words, you ignore our humanity and replace it with the manufactured, consciounceless artificiality that Capitalisms view of man would have us believe is reality.
Adam, I checked my sky listing and there was no individual slot for the party PPB to record.So I ain't got it to save : (
Just got this email from Mike Kelly, Sunday Sun columnist.To MeToday at 3:14 PM Hi SteveThanks for that – will take a look at broadcast.All the bestMike Kelly In response to the email I sent him on the 5th May;To mike.kelly@ncjmedia.co.ukMay 5 at 2:23 PM Hi there Mike. I read your column in the Sunday Sun on a regular basis and I must say, you have some pertinent and relevant things to say.I thought in light of your posts, you might be interested in looking at The Socialist Party (GB) election video, we have produced for the forthcoming Euro elections! It will be a PPB in Wales.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5sp7SZzDiI Anyway, regardless, keep up the informative articles. Be Well,Steve Colborn
Just put the Vid on the Shields Gazette and Sunderland Echo letters discussion sites, on various threads. Also sent it to Mike Kelly, a columnist on the Sunday Sun in Newcastle. Also, to all relevant contacts in my Email address book.Really enjoyed the Vid guys and gals. Well done to all concerned : )Steve Colborn.
I use this and moreover, have tried to encourage others to do so. I would encourage members to post ideas for letters or longer articles. At the same time, look at the party blogsite and tell other members "your" ideas on articles on the blog site. If we all, as members, visited this site every day, at our earliest convenience, we could share, in quick time, ideas for "press releases" and letters. Get some of our ideas into the press for a change!
Hi Comrades, just thought I'd drop a line to say how impressed I am, with the activity of comrades in the run up to the Euro elections! Well done to all. It just goes to prove that even such a "relatively small party" can, with astute use of resources, have a fairly large impact. Keep it up and good luck : )
Excellent news Adam. I will most definitely be taping this on my Sky+ box. I look forward to seeing the finished version. Well done to all involved!
I wish comrades would get over themselves! So much hard work and endevour already expended, yet still bitching unabated! WTF is going on?I think the image, on post 59, posted by Adam, is what I remember and brings a sense of closure and inclusion to the Movement. The logo isn't outdated, nor does it represent, "half the world"! For goodness sake, what do you want, a 3D image?One name, one logo, one fecking world, how difficult is that to comprehend? Now pass the fecking JD : )
