Comrade Delta affair? What’s that?
In the town where I was a student, the SWP and (presumably) other leftists had taken my (unofficial) spot one day, where I had a placard with the badges we used to sell and an armful of Socialist Standards. So I set up nearby.
Two policemen dispersed the leftists, but just walked by me and let me remain. We are obviously no threat.Later I read about an Austrian comrade who had a spot by himself in Vienna with his own material (as he was all alone), and continued with it after the Anschluss and so on, throughout the war, and was simply ignored by the authorities!
1990s. To be fair, the students had to put up with the monopolisation of the word “socialism” by lots of “Citizen Smith”-garbed SWPers, who shouted in their faces every time they walked by the entrance to the library.
It is no wonder there was graffiti exclaiming “SOCIALIST BASTARDS!”
And my SPGB flyers were also defaced because of that.My ads for meetings were finally published by the university chaplain in his weekly Anglican paper.
The student union was implacably and abusively hostile.I was mocked at university when students found out I was a socialist. One put on a flat cap and faked a stereotypical northern accent:
“Ee, by gum. Sohcialist be thee, ay.”

The Asterix book Obelix & Co. is a humorous comic-book critique of the capitalist mindset. Set in the little Gaulish village, the villagers want nothing to do with the brainwashed Obelix’s obsession with selling, which puts him more and more at odds with their mutual aid community.
“Peace” efforts a smokescreen for war?
