(Prepare for) A Mighty Upsurge

[belboid]

In class struggle, oh yes. Any time now, it's really going to happen. It must be about to, I just read about it in Proletarian Democracy. At least, you'd think it was in PD, but actually it's the SP. There conference report back is just the most hilarious, utterly delusional, read you'll have this year. Whether it's the 'mighty upsurge in class struggle' about to happen or the claim that TUSC are about to breakthrough because a second bloke got elected unopposed in Maltby. Pretty much every section has something completely barking in it. Almost definitely no talk of intersectinality tho, as the pics are all of white blokes (and the blessed Hannah).

This enormous inequality is accumulating a mass of socially combustible material in Britain. But it hasn't yet ignited, largely due to the role of the right-wing trade union leaders in holding back workers' struggles; not least in blocking the call for a 24-hour general strike. The absence of widespread strikes has led to a "sullen anger" among the organised working class. But this won't last.

that fucking 24-hour general strike again

I can spy my old regional organiser

Dave Reid, recently returned from a visit to Socialist Alternative (SA) in the US (see www.socialistalternative.org), co-thinkers of the Socialist Party, explained how the minimum wage has become a burning issue in the US.

weird way of putting it, they're another CWI section !!

but if all 300 delegates voted on it, it must be true

'Catastrophe' for youth will lead to explosions

"explosions" again!

In summing up, Claire Laker-Mansfield pointed out that the 'catastrophe' facing young people of having no job, no home and no future will lead to explosions and that the session had highlighted that the Socialist Party is ready to show a lead to them.

always hated that expression.

mate, I kissed a girl last night. I've got to work this shit out one way or another.

 

[Balbi]

If shit's coming out, you're doing it wrong

this occurred to me a millisecond after posting.

... although you have briefly reminded me of shitting dick-nipples.

 

[SpineyNorman]

For fuck's sake

Even the upwardly mobile young things can't afford to buy houses these days. These bitter, disillusioned traditional fledgling tory voters will be joining us in 'the struggle'. We are on our way folks.

the claim that TUSC are about to breakthrough because a second bloke got elected unopposed in Maltby.

Cringe inducing as I agree the piece is (and as all such pieces always are, no matter who they come from - bet the ISN's one is amazing!) no such claim - nor anything vaguely resembling it - is actually made is it?

He pointed to the unopposed election of the second TUSC Maltby town councillor, Shaun Barratt, to highlight that even in the most unlikely places we can find forums to fight the cuts.

It doesn't really matter anyway. Only a minority of SP members will bother to read it, nevermind non-members.

This was my favourite bit:

the ISN one (its up on the site somewhere) is...amusing. It even admits the motions being passed are crap!

Maltby tho...sorry, but getting a couple of seats on a parish council dont really amount to much. I men,its nice, but...

It won't stop Belboid making shite up though

Taffee doesn't use Maltby as some shining example though. He points out the situation CWI organisations have positioned themselves to take advantage of in Greece, in the US, in South Africa. The view is a bit bigger than the 'end of your street in sheffield' you take.

nothing will stop you're lot from talking shite it appears! sorry den, but the whole thing is ludicrously overoptimistic nonsense.

I dont take an 'end of my street' view, I simply look at the balance of class forces in this country and around the world. I could go on about you backing Green candidates in the US, voting with the union leaders you condemn for not calling a 24 hour general strike, in SA, where your main insight seems to have come from a bloke on holiday...
