By “Integral Parallel Economy Project” does P Joseph just mean Co-Ops? Funnily enough I’d almost forgotten about TZM until I listened to this latest Podcast a couple days ago. I think he would turn must workers off because of his over complex way of explaining things. In fact he did turn workers off because around 2011 it really looked as if Zeitgeist was going somewhere. Then it kind of vanished.
Propaganda, Nationalism, Conspiracies, AI, Religion, UFOs, Video Games (hundreds of millions of young minds hooked), Porn, Telly, Infotainment etc. How can the Party possibly make itself heard in the midst of never ending deafening distraction behemoth?
Even if they took the time to read the Leaflet the SPGB would be written off as cranks by 99% of workers. The minute they read the word “Socialism” it’s the kiss of death. Most don’t even know they are living in a social system never mind being able to define Capitalism (or Socialism for that matter). It’s fuckin hopeless.

7th Day Adventists. There are 100 Million Evangelicals in the US. They leave their brains at the door of the Mega Church every Sunday & let their leaders do their thinking for them. These Multi Millionaire “Pastors” seek to hasten WWIII in order to be “Raptured” along with the rest of the faithful when Jesus comes back for Armaggedon. They are increasingly vocal in Congress as well as weilding massive influence in the US Military. Zionist Evangelicals are “Friends” of Israel with the caveat that every single Jew will die unless they convert at day of judgement. This is the reality of where the USA is going. It’s terrifying.
<em class=”d4pbbc-italic”>It strikes me as odd that we’re not happy that the Conservatives have got a kicking.
Could you tell us why the party <em class=”d4pbbc-italic”>should be happy? I’m not a member but even I know there’s very little difference between the Conservatives, Labour and all the other parties seeking to reform capitalism.

Capitalist parties like the ones you’ve mentioned do not seek to reform Capitalism but to administrate it. Why should it worry you anyway? Fron what I’ve read from your previous posts it’s like you love Capitalism. Always rubbing it in that the SPGB have failed utterly. You should spit your vitriol instead at the SWP or any other Leftist outfit because their utopian fantasies (Sanitised Capitalism) haven’t been realised either. And never will be.
You think the Capitalist Class are going to destroy their own playground & the Golden Goose that goes along with it?
Have you noticed how newscasters now double as gameshow hosts? This is the Info-tainment society we now inhabit.
For an illustration of how utterly dim & docile the UK “Working Class” are, just watch any episode of “Gogglebox”. When Channel 4 started up in 1982 the Bill of Fare included stuff like Michael Tippett’s The Knot Garden, Sir Peter Hall’s The Oresteia (from the National Theatre) plus the News in Swahili etc…
Now we’ve got guff like “Naked Attraction” with workers getting their Willie’s & Fannies out for all the world to see. I just wonder if it’s all a concerted effort by the Owning Class to dumb us all down. After all they own & control the global entertainment behemoth.
With the youth of today it’s actually “Cool” to be stupid. Look at Joey Essex. He’s made millions pretending to daft. The right way. This 50 year campaign of engineering mass stupidity has triumphed because workers are dumber than ever now. They carry a galaxy of information at their fingertips with Mobile tech yet they know even less. Their phones are smarter than they are. It just seems really hopeless and terrifying.Theoretically Capitalism got going around 1820 globally. But as you say Russia & China took longer to move from Semi-Feudalism to Capitalism.
