WOW. That takes some compiling*.
I also engaging with someone at the same time on X. Each reply I got 3 replies!!!!
My last reply was that I was a Marxist not a Leninist and blocked them.
I thought about it afterwards, I could have said:
Not a Bolshevik
Not a Leninist
Not a Stalinist
not a Trotskyist
not a Maoist,
not a Che Guevaraist
not a Kim Jong Unist…..
Not a KeynesistThe same clown said we should read a book…
Funny, that the Party has its own Library at our Clapham High Street HO, ostensibly for reference purposes.
Most members are encouraged to read books, The Ragged Trousered Philanthropist, to see the play. Conditions Of The Working Class –

On the subject of William Morris, Habitat, Argos and Sainsbury’s are selling his wallpaper, Duvet covers, towels and soft furnishings all with his beautiful design prints.Never been to number 52 but it is safe to say the library is not ‘ostensibly’ for reference purposes, it IS for reference purposes.

lol I posted about this on TikTok, but I didn’t mention it wasn’t a public Library, members only.My reply was to someone on TikTok who told us to read a book. I then suggested he might like to consider contacting the Party via HO? Rather than insult and disrespect the Party online. I blocked them.

Presumably they are trying to attract some of those leftists who stood as “Independents” in the general election.
Or maybe to avoid confusion with this group:
Looking for something else I came across this blast from the blast — the birth of SPEW in 1997. We get a mention 4 minutes in:
Who says SPEW is not a reformist outfit?
Scroll down to what their candidate in a local by-election in North London yesterday told a local community news site what he stood for:
St Ann’s by-election candidates make their pitch for your votes
Not a word about socialism. Which of course is a good thing.
