Thanks. I didn’t know. He has gone back up in my estimation.
Jean Jaures was murdered by a patriot for opposing the war. And yet, I believe Jaures was a pioneer of “socialist” reformism (?)
It is evident that contradictions were about long before the internet.
Kropotkin’s secretary was Elisee Reclus, and Reclus’ secretary was Alexandra David-Neel, who became a Buddhist. 😀
Oui, c’est vrai.
Makhno confronted Kropotkin face to face over the latter’s support for the war.
Makhno’s life was fighting, but not for any state.We measure significance according to what impacts our own existence and the things we care about. It is subjective.
True Imperialist, you still watching those old war movies with Nazi baddies vs Soviet heroes? Tiresome. Change the record. We’ve had page after page here of your repetitiveness. You have nothing to tell us, yet you keep on doing so.
The Guardian ran a story earlier this year that the Queen had died. Oh wait! That was in The Guardian.
Talking Pictures to show several Stan and Ollie films over xmas, i’ve been told. Hog Wild was just shown.
At university the leftist student union not only refused to print my notices advertising local SPGB meetings; it also trashed my socialist article on the 1989 Peking crackdown.
Those left-wingers have ended up as stockbrokers in the City!Finally I managed to get my SPGB pieces published in the university chaplain’s Anglican newsletter!

Merry-go-round.
Right-wing or left-wing capitalists. We’ve lived under both and there’s no real difference.
Leftism just diverts people, or confuses them, squanders their energies which would be best served in promoting real socialism.” Get involved with people who share similar base belief systems like getting rid of Capitalism ”
Except they are not for getting rid of capitalism, but for reforms within it. And they’ve been reforming for over a century and the problems are still here.
Left capitalism will become rightist capitalism, then back again, and back again, as the repetitive cycle of boom and slump continues. And capitalism can’t function any other way, as Robbo has said.
Politicians don’t control it. It controls them.
Oscar Wilde was correct: the worst boss is a kind boss.Your “ideological war” isn’t going to achieve anything. But intensifying misery and global devastation and climate change just might.
