    FYI re. 2nd Intl. diplomatic unity and "thank": You already have a copy of this, the same submission that was yet to be published along with the first articles on Left Unity.

    You wrote somewhere that you broke away with the supposed "long program" approach of the first four congresses of the Comintern and everything leading up to and including the Transitional Program.

    The political humourist in me would like to see a light-hearted revivalist parody of that in all the resolutions of the original Socialist International, up and including the Basel Manifesto.

    Nee precies, geen webforum. Hoe ik het zie zou het een bijeenkomst zijn waar socialisten en communisten discussiëren over relevante vraagstukken, ervaringen uit te delen, en hopelijk dichter naar elkaar toegroeien. En hopelijk groeit hier een gezamelijk initiatief uit.

    Organisaties waar ik aan denk zijn dan Vrije Bond, Doorbraak, ASB, IKS, DIDF, FedKom, en de SA (wat een afkorting), SAP, IS (en dan de internet-based IOPS). De SP zelf vind ik niet links genoeg, dus als organisatie zou ik ze niet uitnodigen. Ook NCPN en Rode morgen zie ik liever niet.

    Ik was al enige tijd van plan dit idee te circuleren binnen Doorbraak en de Vrije Bond, ik hoop dat jij hetzelfde doet in de SA-CWI!

    Ha, ik zag dat je wat poste over iets op een 'Communist forum' en wilde je net vragen wat je van zo'n forum denkt. Ik zelf wil een Socialistisch/Communistisch Forum georganiseerd zien om een langzame integratie van 'ultralinks' te zien.

    Dus, de vraag vind je zo'n Forum een goed idee, en zo ja, ben je bereid om dat idee voor te stellen in de organisatie(s) waarin je actief bent.

    Ah, toch. Zulk werk zou mij 'futile' aanvoellen. En dat democratiseren van de economie, was je toevallig ook bij Marxisme Festival?

Today I went to a "Socialism Day", organised by Socialist Alternative, the Dutch branch of the Committee for a Workers' International. "Socialism" is a name regularly used by several CWI sections for open meetings that feature discussion, mostly introduced by CWI members.

The observant reader might note that I also went to a meeting organised by the SP branch in Breda recently with the same name. There is a simple reason for this: Once upon a time, back in the...

Below is a translation of my introduction to the SP discussion meeting. I'm making a new post because it was too long for a comment.

The SP and the demand for the republic

Republican discussion: A non-discussion

There is no republican tradition anymore in the Netherlands. The most advanced that we now seem to have is the New Republican Society. I’ll quote from their website what they’re all about:

The Dutch come to the insight more and

So, today was a so called "Socialism Day", organised by the SP branch in Breda for the 13th time as an annual event. The theme this year was "the SP and the monarchy" which had two discussions and a third discussion which was about the running party discussion on "democratisation of the economy" (see my blog here). This year's event had some 20 people, which is not bad for a branch meeting, although about half of the people were not from the branch or even the SP....

Original post here.

When I became politically active in early 2003 I was a loyal Dutch SP follower.

The SP is a left-wing parliamentarian formation that started out as a Maoist grouplet in the 1960's but by 1991 formally renounced Marxism-Leninism and afterwards shifted rightwards towards coalitionism. Dutch politics consists of a complex parliamentary formation, given that our electoral system is fully proportionally representative where parliament has 150 seats and...

That pretty much sums up my feelings

Today there was another branch meeting from the SP about "democracy in the economy". There were ten proposals under discussion. These proposals were made by the "scientific bureau" of the party (for context: All Dutch parties have "scientific bureaus" as this makes them eligible for state funding)....
