I haven't uploaded the sources, index, or the bibliography though, if anyone wants I can do that as well. it's slightly annoying that he put it all at the end rather at the end of each chapter

i also don't know how to turn it around, i don't think i can do that on my scanner, is there a way to rotate the view etc on mediafire?
 
Iirc the IS used to quote Joe Jacob's book when they took a more militant physical ant-fascist stance in the early 70's. But after Lewisham 1977 and the change of name to the SWP, they adopted a more United Front to anti-fascism with Neil Kinnock et al in the ANL, and started quoting Phil Piratin as the way to operate.
They kept quiet about Morris Beckman's book, The 43 Group, when that was published in 1992.
By the time I was a member piratin's book was the main text, and Jacobs books 'flawed'. Beckman did speak at Marxism one year, but was dismissed as the "bish bash bosh" man

If you download it you can rotate it on adobe acrobat so people can read it properly anyway. Just means you can't read it online (unless you tilt your head to one side lol)
 
Yeah. Also forgot to say that the side near the spine of some of the pages towards the end are at times a bit hard to read, I can read them though but let me know if it's not and I'll upload them again
 
the people who wrote that encyclopedia were only representing themselves, that wasn't the huge majority of people. that wasn't normal society, I don't believe there was ever much in the way of working class support for Hitler or Nazism in this country. what there was was often undercut quite successful by groups like the communist party with their campaigns against evictions in London. there was loads of that sort of shit in the 30s like the author of just william writing about william and his mates tormenting a jewish man by pretending to be nazis, she also wrote stories with the implication that they shouldn't play with "common" boys and wrote about "savages from India". you have to think about what the audience for that stuff was in a time when there was a huge amount of repression against the working class and what was considered to be a real threat of a revolution.

the times wrote a puff piece in the 20s for the protocols, but it was only a small proportion of the populace that read that type of thing let alone believe it. I don't believe the majority of people in the country believed that shit. I don't think that it is true. In fact when Jewish refugees came to this country they were often almost shocked at how tolerant and accepting people were of them.


Re the protocols.....Ive always wondered why the early BNP ( Richard Edmonds) pushed Holocaust News. And I mean pushed it. It was always a staple at their meetings. In Manchester early 90's when I put an informer in the local branch it outsold BNP news. And their meetings which we bugged spent 80% of the time talking about Jews. I think this happened back in them days with much more frequency and it doesnt even beg the question of the ordinary membership being imbued with this stuff because the hierarchy of the BNP thought this kind of thing would have more resonance on the doorstep. Did they actually think the population would wear it. The protocols were pre WW2 for one. But its really got to be about individuals and what their heads were about. So while they were wasting valuable time on this they were taking their eye off the day job. Scroll on 25 years and with a different more identifiable enemy it really should be quids in.
 
the whole ZOG thing is too weird for the EDL types. unless your steeped in that anti-semitic conspiracy theory stuff, i reckon it was dropped for being too esoteric. altho edmonds was pictured with robinson who was wearing a JDL tshirt it seems.
 
Yours is.

It's all in piratin's book, a favourite for the swp in putting forward its political case for the anl. However it is also a prime bit of popular front propaganda.

In the late 70s early 80s the SWP used to switch between Our Flag Stays Red and Joe Jacobs My Life in the Ghetto.

Interestingly enough the CP had the phrase slum proletariat in the 30s and 40s to describe who the BUF recruited from.
 
^Reminds me of a retaliatory hit on some fash after they had attacked one of our guys in a pub, in Bethnal Green around 78/79. We had them cornered and were moving in when one started squealing 'Don't hit me, don't hit me - I'm a student, I'm in the Student Workers Party'. One of our guys said 'That's good, I hate students more than anyone' before laying into him. :D
