The Idler

Hi,

Thanks for the message. I'm relatively new to socialism, but I think I've found my feet with regard to how I think we should try to achieve it. I'm about half way through Capital Vol. 1 at the moment, with the help of David Harvey. My eyes have been well and truly opened.

Thanks a lot! There's loads of good stuff on here, really interesting.

Do you like Noam Chomsky?
(I'm asking this because of your profile pic)

Always nice to know that one's snarky one-liners aren't going unappreciated.

Contrary to popular belief, our time-honoured usergroup can house such thoroughly anti-Kautsky sentiment as well as the sentiment of comrades. I'll give another example: why is there an Anarcho-Communist usergroup, when there is already the oldest and biggest RL usergroup of them all, the Anarchist usergroup?

It's redundant. Seriously, with all these groups here, there should be consolidation into the older groups.

Sorry I've never heard anything about the society of positivist proletarians. Auguste Comte sympathized with the working masses but was still fairly elitist so I doubt he would have formed a society under that name, and on the contrary I think the only group he ever organized was the church of humanity.

Yep, I've corrected it now. Out of interest how many candidates would that be in the Euro elections?

Comrade: If you're wondering where your SWP thread went, I merged it into the main SWP thread. Imo it's better we have just one for now, politics has more active threads than any other forum as it is.
