Seriously?

I quite like The Monument.

It gets lambasted on libcom as a made-up word not used by anyone.

Actually, I stand corrected, the translation is into Esperanto so a machine translation may be very good. More translations on Wikipedia will be good.

What would you like to know about the SPGB?

Its looks like a Wikipedia mirror site (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_clones) run through an automatic computer translation and it's unlikely to sound natural to a native speaker.It is worth mentioning a decent entry on the SPGB on Simple English Wikipedia could be well within our capabilities.https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialist_Party_of_Great_Britain

 For starters, Adam mentions the EC meetings being held via skype, that will allow them to be viewed by anyone interested in how the EC goes about  its decision making. A step in the right direction, if a little late in coming. Perhaps such openness may avoid future decisions based on personal grounds, as dubious discussions will be open to full scrutiny.  

I agree with this but on a technical point, skype isn't being used to broadcast EC meetings, online streaming (which isn't difficult) will be necessary to do this. This could even be done using the SPGB webhost and free software as a platform.

EW were the initials used by the writer Ted Wilmott and as I am someone who has not yet understood the point of dialectics, I have to say it seems like a pretty convincing case against dialectics.

My question to the Conservative party is who are the undignified undeserving poor? And why is this Victorian notion of morality being resurrected.

AlsoPublications prefer to publish fresh content which is exclusive at least at the time of publication. If you submit something that has been published elsewhere (or will be before the next issue of the Socialist Standard), please state this.
