I think we must meet head on and combat all the nonsense from anarcho-caps to leftie drivel. It is challenging to say the least, but the satisfaction surely is in seeing off the opposition and knowing that there are more readers of contributions getting some 'food for thought', than contributers reproducing capitalist 'truisms'. This is work that anyone with an internet connection can play a part in doing and I am very disappointed I do not see more comrades in my travels.

I absolutely agree.  Some of what little spare time I have is spent posting on up to to ten Facebook sites.  Other comrades are working their socks off for socialism behind the scenes largely unnoticed or acknowledged.

You will find no “Great Men” in the S.P.G.B. The parts that its members play are varied, but no attempt is made to measure one against the other—the keynote is co-operative effort, as it will be in socialist society. One of our objections to the existence of “Very Important Persons” is that it presupposes that some persons are accounted of little importance. We are a band of ordinary folk, but each is as unimportant (and therefore each is as important) as the other, whether chosen for speaker, secretary, organiser or by-election candidate.
