American anarchists meaninglessly devour themselves at Portland Conference

[Corax]

Someone said something bad about the tories, and you're challenging it?

BURN THE WITCH.

Your violins will not silence us!

People saying this doesn't exist in the UK....well, several people, including myself were denounced as racist and sexist because of a disagreement over an incident that happened at Solfeds AGM the other year. Pretty nasty fallout that lead to...I think...a dozen people leaving within a week or two of the conference. The Croydon local collapsed as a result I believe and more importantly for me was a good comrade quit the organisation he helped setup. The whole thing has put me off politics for quite some time, so I can agree with the comments above about how exclusive and shit this must look to anyone beyond our movement.

The Kristian Williams piece goes over some issues I have been fumbling with for quite some time. Good piece.

Works for the Tories.

1) are you serious? You've clearly not been paying attention since Cameron became leader - the Tory right have been gunning for him pretty consistently and even in Thatcher's time there was the thing with Gilmour and the wets.

2) do you think the solution is to be more like the Tories?

That's 'cos you is one of dem sissy white males, innit?

A white working class male who never went to university in a relationship with someone who is not white.

Horrifying.

Those scum (who really are privileged) are not needed.

The left are a complete joke with all thats going on nigel farage can get airtime and his collection of nutters ffs they hired a pakistani gangster as a spokesperson.
What can the left do doesnt matter how brilliant the pamphlet on a dead german is or your blogg post.
What matters is the people thats whats the point of socialism making the world a better place for everyone not a tiny fraction of a faction

its like 2 bald...sorry..follically challenged..or perhaps non hirsute by choice, a perfectly valid choice might i add.. lgbtqa men..women ..or other...im not discriminating or being patriarchal... fighting over a fucking comb.

when we ask ourselves what would Che do ?, the obvious answer is hed fucking shoot them first.

There is something about twitter that lends itself to this Maoist style subset. Its a really chilling political tool to be on the end of.

1. yes - you miss the point that they - cameron, the 1922s, the wets, the eurosceptics, the lot of them - already have power. a few managed arguments when you have power is much better than hissy fits and factionalism when you have none.
2. sure
