I’ve just stumbled on this group today- I think they call themselves council communists but I wondered if anyone has had any interaction with them. They also have a FB page
A lot of their stuff seems pretty good with many things we can agree with. But suddenly you get this:
Most of all we celebrate the emergence of a block of anti-imperialist countries that have broken away from the Anglo-American Empire. China, Russia, Iran and to a lesser extent India have resisted using the dollar as a world trade currency. Further, they have insisted on using their own local currency in trade transactions. With the exception of China – Russia, Iran and Saudi Arabia are capitalist countries, but their commitment has not been making a profit on war or forms of fictious capital such as stocks, bonds, derivations or stock options. Following the Chinese great Belt Road Initiative (BRI) these countries have traded with each other, in exchanges of energy systems, infrastructures like roads and trains as well as agricultural products, as well as military defense. The BRICS economic agreement between Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa has been set up as an alternative the imperialist World Bank and the International Monetary Fund. This breakaway movement is growing stronger by the day as the United States and the rest of the West sinks into decay. As socialists we support this breakaway movement even if it is not explicitly socialist.
Robo wonders: ‘I wondered if anyone has had any interaction with them’.
From the looks of that quote given by h.moss, just more leftist flotsam.
Me, what I ‘wonder’ is why nothing ever came of the notion expressed by ALB (here: https://www.worldsocialism.org/spgb/forum/topic/two-ex-socialists-go-funny/page/6/#post-249333): ‘This is the sort of discussion — and the sort of people we should be discussing with […]’. regarding the article linked to in that thread titled ‘Forest and Factory: the Science and the Fiction of Communism’. This was nearly one year ago now.
(Of the two writers (the one less responsible for the criminally repellent writing style, I believe) one can be contacted like so: https://designformanufracture.com/about .)
