    To return to an earlier point – Matt, would it be possible to send a single one-off syndicated email to all users listed on this forum? I understand the “RedMarx option” is not available for the technical reasons you cite but is there another way of doing this?

    I will look for any suitable plugins though, but wait until after the Standard is up. I will see what I can do re emails but not for the present for the same reasons. (Too busy).

    This would be better coming from a party email address with a party template heading but subject also to data laws, regarding permission, and a lot of people myself included, do not want spammed in this way from sites we have signed up to.

    There was originally an ‘opt in newsletter’ option but it wasn’t used and the comrade dealing with it resigned.

    Thanks Brian. Not a bad lecture at all.(I haven’t got to the end yet as I paused it)

    We did a book review in January 2010 Socialist Standard,  of John Bellamy Foster’s

    The Ecological Revolution – making peace with the planet under the heading Capitalism against ecology on this link.

    I went searching further and came up with the following on Wikipedia.

    I’m already running behind.

    I don’t have this facility yet in this version of the Forum. I checked.

    We do not as yet, harvest emails.Nor do I want proprietary software doing so.

    I have 46 pages of users emails around 21 to a page, but I would have to email separately onto a mail list.

    I don’t have way of compiling recent posts either such as RedMarx has.

    The stats on the bottom of this page is the maximum.

    I would recommend for starters that forum does what other forums like RedMarx do which is to send out a selective syndicated digest of discussions on a regular basis – perhaps once a month – to every person (currently 913) who belongs to this forum. Is this technically feasible in the case of this particular forum? Since we have the email addresses of all who joined this forum this should be possible

    I don’t have this facility yet in this version of the Forum. In any case it would have needed to have been incorporated at the start with an option to ‘opt in/out‘.

    I’ll keep it in mind for future reference, it is a learning curve, whenever we do an upgrade, which is not yet on the cards. We did not have a lot of control over this recovery of our system, not knowing just what was possible within the WordPress CMS, the urgency was getting back online and saving our archives.

    We had a newsletter used to be sent out, but it fell into disuse and the comrade doing it stopped as it was never requested.

    We shouldn’t be discussing this here of course, but we are. (I don’t know if it is technically possible to move this to “General Discussion”? )

    It is now in ‘General Discussion

    There is no rule that as a member that you cannot have an internal debate within the Party about your position.

    Well yes. But with some of these interminable discussions I find it convenient to make my self scarce, while I’ve still got hair to wash.

    That is where I had been looking too.

    I can’t find the hard quote you seek only his critique of the various ‘shabby forms’ (Engels) and strands of ‘socialisms’.

    But he is clear enough as to what revolutionaries i.e. proletarian parties need to be.

    The immediate aim of the Communists is the same as that of all other proletarian parties: formation of the proletariat into a class, overthrow of the bourgeois supremacy, conquest of political power by the proletariat.

    On this page for instance,

    ‘Right click’ on the article link URL, then choose from the drop down menu, choose either, ‘Copy Link Location’ and paste it, or ‘Open in New Tab’ or ‘Open in New Window’, then copy and paste the resulting URL from your browser.

    But, there is one glaring omission: other than within a quote from Vorwaerts, the article itself doesn’t mention ‘democracy’, never mind “workers’ democracy”.

    As I’ve said before, I think that this failure to emphasise that the workers themselves will collectively determine their own world was a feature of all Second International parties, and seems to also include the SPGB.

    It is all over our articles and in our DOP.

    Try logging into this. We were trialing it but only with myself and Tristan briefly.

    Sorry about this. You are right enough. It should redirect contributors to PayPal to enter their payment information. Unfortunately it isn’t set up properly. I’ll get back on here when it is done properly.
