“But that source quotes it as being Ritter.”
Then you decide on the impartiality or veracity of that source.
Although a recognised pro-Russian propagandist, the text quoted by TS is unlikely to have come from Scott Ritter, but originated from a Japanese blogger who in turn lifted it from a website going by the name of ASB military.
Someone calling themselves ‘weematt’ backs up the OP’s assertion.
Scroll down:
Seems this notion of the SPGB being the “2nd oldest political party” has been around quite a while.
One further example:
“Good point. I don’t think we have ever claimed to be the second oldest political party in Britain, only to have been formed before the Labour Party.”
For example; in the ‘about’ description:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/779523775463252/An estimated 28 million people in this country alone were glued to their televisions watching the funeral of this elderly nonentity.

Not forgetting the outpouring of grief following her demise.
“Lizzie, please know that we stand against all war and nationalism and always have done. Were a member to diverge from this principled stand s/he would be challenged on it and expulsion from the party would follow were such proven.”
TM, I’m really quite well versed in the Party’s ideology even though I may not necessarily concur with all of it.
My sources indicate that Alien1 may be an SPGB member. Should that information prove correct does the aforegoing post reflect the Party’s position?
Just wondering.
“On the surface quite a successful one it would seem quite successful. But, at a guess, I would have thought most of the population isn’t really that bothered.”
Which is it? If “it’s an exercise in state and national building” then it would appear very successful and contrary to your second assertion, seeing that a large section of the population is engrossed in the whole charade.
For example:
I find the whole carnival of this feudal relic’s coffin on display quite bizarre, macabre and grotesque. What the hell is it all about? And what does it say about a society that thinks this spectacle is OK, when those people slavishly participating would certainly not do the same to protect their own interests regarding the cost of living crisis, or dare I say, to usher in a totally new kind of society?
“Far more useful is to campaign for socialism, as a society based on the common ownership and democratic control of society’s productive resources with production and distribution directly to satisfy people’s needs.”
Which is what your Party has been doing for over a hundred years with no signs of any progress. You’ve only a few more members than when you were first formed with organisational activity arguably now at its lowest level ever. Those members that do remain are slowly but surely ‘throwing in the towel’ with only 80 (yes, eighty) even bothering to vote in a recent Party ballot.
“I’m not sure whether that’s a red herring or a wild goose chase. Maybe it’s both.”
Maybe it’s neither, considering that reformism, to coin a phrase, is (demonstrably) the only game in town.
