Is there a problem with non-members commenting on Party issues on Party sites?

[steve colborn]

Thought gnome would have said "no" regardless, because if they are trusted enough to run a Party stall, they should be applying for membership! As has been said by someone, ( cannot recall who that could be) about non members on another related Party issue. Could that be contributing to Party Forums E.T.C.? my minds gone a blank.

The question isn't why non-members running stalls don't become members, but who will bring socialism? Surely its not just members or the party teaching the class?

How do you do that then? The suspence is killing me.

By coincidence the comrade concerned just rang. He remembers the incident and says that he called Walford an 'empirical reductionist' who couldn't see beyond what existed.

Sounds like a familiar accusation

Yes, I thought I hears a Little Birdie chirping in the background.

Feels good to have a little pop at forum members who have no means of redress, doesn't it?

It seems someone has to; the working class at present can hardly be seen as a 'class for itself', in active pursuit of its own interests.

I suspect what JDW is getting at, is there are non Party socialists and people who don't identify themselves as socialist out there working to educate the non concious working class.
