"a young man we caught wearing a Eugene Debs election badge (even though he knew little about him)."I think I have the same badge. I don't know who it was but someone ran a cute campaign back in the 2008 here in the States with '08 Debs badges and bumper stickers. I thought it was quite clever at the time.

imposs1904ParticipantI think that would be silly.

imposs1904ParticipantI noticed that a couple of the links have since been deleted . . . but they will turn up again.
imposs1904ParticipantThe thousandth post on the blog this year is an excellent article from the January 1982 issue of the Socialist Standard on Chartism and the abolition of money:Link: The Abolition of Money

Apologies for that – though that article is good as well. Too much caffeine and not enough sleep at this end.
imposs1904ParticipantGood article from the July 1979 issue of the Socialist Standard:Link: Dictatorship of the Proletariat

imposs1904ParticipantQuick question: Will the email from the US be addressed in a future issue of the Standard? ('Letter to the editors, etc.)In connection to 1926, I finally got round to scanning in Jack Fitzgerald's long-arsed article on the strike which appeared in the June 1926 issue of the Socialist Standard:Link: The Result of "Trust": A Lesson of the Great Strike
imposs1904ParticipantCould I just give belated thanks to Mike for his article in the April Socialist Standard. Really interesting stuff.For those who are interested in some of the dramas mentioned in Mike's article, I've cut and pasted his article to the Socialist Standard Past and Present Blog and included the YouTube links for the majority of the TV shows mentioned in the piece. Just click on the titles:Link: Whatever Happened to Political Drama?
imposs1904ParticipantCheers for the heads up. I never did finish the novel.

imposs1904Participantwho do you think? I'd wager it was the same SC who wrote Eddie Grant's obituary for the Socialist Standard. The clue is in the Islington Branch connection.And before anyone pipes up, it has been know for other ex-members to pen obituaries in the Socialist Standard. I remember that the obituary for Freddie James that appeared in the December 1992 Standard had been written by an ex-SPGBer who'd resigned from the Party way back in 1960!
