I think you're missing the point Rodshaw. The Occupy thread has been going for a year longer than the Religion thread, yet the Religion thread is still generating many multiple hits even when dormant. Any thread when it is buzzing will generate a huge amount of hits, but when it eases off as the Science for Communism will at some point, will it keep racking up continuous multiple hits hits like the Religion thread, or a lot less like the Occupy thread? Who knows, time will tell?The point I'm making is the Religion thread is generating an embarrassing (for the SPGB) amount of interest even when dormant. It could be from party members with a secret religious fetish. There may well be no way of telling, but has the thought ever occurred to anyone, that people with a socialist leaning, as well as a spiritual belief may be looking to see what real socialists think of the subject?
Is the experiment over, 'cos if it aint my choices are below.D>B>ABut I'd go with Vin's suggestion World Socialist Movement (UK), but if Scotland vote "YES" to independence it might have to be World Socialist Movement (Britain) as there would be no united kingdom.Surely D should be World Socialist Movement (GB)?
Hi AdamDo you know that the almost double views of the Occupy thread are coming from us on this site? If so that's fair enough, but I don't click on any thread unless something is going on.I'm not suggesting every view is from a new person, I'm just doubtful site members are making up over 100 views every few days. when the thread is dormant.It's now at 33,269. Just done a quick calculation and it's gone up by 115 views since yesterday. If there is evidence it's just us lot, that's fine.
Hi MikeWhat I mean with "The elephant in the room" is that this is an issue that is often ridiculed and ignored, yet will not go away.Though I have no belief in any kind of god or after life, I don't understand the SPGBs stance on not letting in socialists who have a spiritual belief. If a person rejects capitalism and understands and wants socialism, then it is irrelevant whether that person believes or not.
Out of interest I had a look. What a load of bollocks.His response to the machinery of the establishment pushing a "NO" vote, "…..so by sheer anarchist logic, the Scots should vote "YES." In other words anarchists should support the smaller pro capitalist state, but not the larger pro capitalist state.He references the song "Anarchy in the UK" by the Sex Pistols, so I wonder if Johnny Rotten had such a thing as supporting the likes of the SNP, when he wrote the lyrics? I doubt it.He talks as if a "YES" vote will lead to some "new political culture" and bleats about British nationalism while encouraging anarchists to vote for Scottish nationalism. To quote the pompous anarchist caricature Rik, from the tv show The Young Ones, "Now that's what I call anarchy."
The view count for this thread is now on 34,154.Vin posted the count at 33,000 on 15/8/2014.The next big hitter as far as I can tell is the Occupy Movement thread at about 18,000 hits.Seems people are interested in what is/was happening on this thread. I doubt it will be party members looking over a dormant thread. The elephant in the room?
Thanks for pointing it out DJP, completely missed it.I imagine if I was walking by and I was struck by the design on the fascia, and had an interest in politics, I would scan around and see the logo and web address. Yeah, it works.Does HO have shutters?
This was posted on another thread.

No one has said if the decided on design is gonna have a web address contact.The designs on this thread are all shown as they will appear on HO. While the first design, the one I think is the best, has a web address included in the design the one decided upon does not.

Good point DJP.To make light of the situation. What we have is a pinch of "left wing" socialist, a smattering of anarcho-syndicalism with a large dollop of "right wing" Great British, national pride. Still a good design though.
Just watched the video on post #445 and at the end the dude mentions a conference with the snappy theme."From the anatomy of the global crisis, the global crisis that besets us and all four planes of social being, to the ontology of human flourishing, that is, to the possibility of an existence which is far far better than the one we currently have."It certainly puts "How we live and how we could live", in its place.Just wasted six minutes and forty eight seconds of my life.
I was thinking about the four panels below the main fascia. As the SPGB is a companion party of the WSM it might be an idea to have the names of the companion parties in each of the four panels.Something along the lines of the WSM globe with the name of the party wrapped around it.
I know the design for the HO fascia has been decided upon, (design E pos t#20) but I was talking with my partner about this the other day and I showed her the designs and the one to be used. She pointed out something I hadn't caught on to. The colour red. She pointed out that colours have associations, such as the 4 big supermarkets green, orange, blue and yellow. For my partner the association with red in politics is the Labour party, then China and the former Soviet Union.When I thought about this, it struck me as spot on, red is the colour associated with the "left".We both agreed the first design on this thread was the strongest. It's not red for starters, it has the WSM globe logo and a web address contact.But hey, we aint party members.
