Another World Is Possible

[Anonymous]

At Glastonbury Jeremy Corbyn kept repeating the phrase  "Another World Is Possible". Referring to changing the world and not just the country.  I am sure I have seen this on a  pamphlet, socialist standard or a video or some other SPGB publication.

I was thinking it would be a good title for the new whiteboard animation introducing the party.

'Another World is Possible' was the slogan of the World Social Forum and the anti-globalisation movement in the 1990shttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Social_ForumIt's not a SPGB slogan and I don't think its specific enough for us anyway.

Thanks DJP, wonder if Corbyn read that edit: My mistake, Corbyn actually said  "Another World Is Possible If We Come Together"I have changed the thread title.

'Against war, no exceptions.''The only socialists on the ballot''All our members are equal''Abolition of the wages system''Workers of the world unite, you have nothing to lose but your chains''No compromise, no political trading''The Communists do not form a separate party opposed to the other working-class parties. They have no interests separate and apart from those of the proletariat as a whole.' 'Communism is for us not a state of affairs which is to be established, an ideal to which reality [will] have to adjust itself. We call communism the real movement which abolishes the present state of things. The conditions of this movement result from the premises now in existence.'   'the greatest sectarians and the biggest brawlers and rogues are at certain moments the loudest shouters for unity. Nobody in our lifetime has given us more trouble and been more treacherous than the unity shouters.'

I've a pamphlet at home from when John McDonnell was standing for Labour Leader, entitled 'Another world is possible', that's what, 2005?

Thanks for the suggestions From what you say 'Another World is Possible' is not a good idea for us to use because it is associated with Labour  but then so is 'socialism' Here is a link to a first draft, which needs a title. I was  thinking simply " An Introduction to World Socialism"  Or 'What Does the Socialist Party Stand For?"http://www.hand-drawn.co.uk/socialism-explained.html

 "Labour can show that "another world is possible" by rejecting austerity while also "living within our means", Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell has said.He told activists that his goal was to change the "economic discourse" in the country and secure "dynamic growth". http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-34378290Hardly another world! Sounds like the same one.

When is the animation likely to be completed, so I can update the EC, unless you've already done so of course?

Not sure maybe two weeks but you can update the EC with the link to the first draft. I have informed the company of a few minor corrections.

 Hi Mod1, I think we have crossed wires. We are looking for a title to this whiteboard animation presently in production: http://www.hand-drawn.co.uk/socialism-explained.html But I think a video on how socialism will work or what it could be like is a good idea
