14th November Movement for Left Unity

[SpineyNorman]

OK, it's just that it seems a bit obvious.

Growth: increase in value.
Resources: the world.
Finite: the world cannot expand indefinitely as value can.

How are you defining value and what is its relationship with 'resources'?

 

[SpineyNorman]

Actually, fuck it I can't be arsed

 

[Pickman's model]

Shut up, fool. We're trying to have a discussion here.

you're trying: & failing

 

[phildwyer]

Resources-the world?

How does that make me a materialist?

200 people a month now joining L/U, I think this will soon mean they are bigger than the SWP, fwiw...

Have you joined?

For how many months has this monthly figure of 200 applied for?

What does "joining" mean?

 

[treelover]

Paid up members, various fees, noted by FB site

I don't join things without very careful consideration, so will see how it goes.

This stuff. Link to it.

There were 1200 registered members at the time of the conference, up to 1250 by mid-january. No idea where this '200 a month' comes from (I can't see any such mention on the LU site), but it sounds like rubbish.

 

[emanymton]

But if is true, and if they can sustain that level of growth LU will be larger than the Labour Party by about 2097*.



*assuming the Labour party stays roughly the same size

Any interest in the Communist Platform within Left Unity?

I doubt it.

no.

 

[SpineyNorman]

How many platforms is that now? Is it more than london st pancras yet?

 

[belboid]

I think its only three, in fact. The left party one dissolved when it took over almost every position within the grouplet. Socialist Platform exists on paper, but hasn't shown any signs of life. The Republican Platform no doubt still exists, its just so tiny you'd miss it even if the meetings were held in a phone box.

 

[exiledinwales]

I doubt it.

Let me rephrase the question then. Any interest in Left Unity? (Also to frogwoman)

 

[frogwoman]

not really.

Had the initial potential to be at least mildly interesting. This vanished within days though.

 

[frogwoman]

is it me, or is this a bit

 

[frogwoman]

"britain needs our new party"

1) errr ... does it? really?

2) bit of an unintentional connotation there

 

[Spanky Longhorn]

surely thats not real?

 

[frogwoman]

Yes it is

L/U has absolutely nothing to do with the far right, mosleyites, etc, they are trying out all sorts of graphics, straplines , etc, best inform them froggie, if you think it is suspect.

I don't think it's suspect, I just thought it was amusing

 

[treelover]

Ok.

Left Unity members are aware that there are alternatives to MS paint, aren't they?

It's fucking awful
