Firebox run by Counterfire: Champagne socialism.

[Hocus Eye.]

What does the name mean?

The firebox is part of a steam engine. Perhaps they are trying to evoke the spirit of the old days of the coal and steel and rail industries when unions were strong.

What does the name mean?

It means they have a deep-seated unconscious wish for it to be razed to the ground, with all the smug cunts inside.

Only on the basis of a study of political processes in the masses themselves, can we understand the rôle of parties and leaders, whom we least of all are inclined to ignore. They constitute not an independent, but nevertheless a very important, element in the process. Without a guiding organisation, the energy of the masses would dissipate like steam not enclosed in a piston-box

I prefered my explanation, tbh.

Firebox has a very different meaning in Roger's profanisaurus.

John Rees behind the bar like some Parisienne cafe owner?

It's grim up north London

Butchers et al. Re the quote from trotters, do not be confused between the function of the firebox and the piston box of a steam engine. The firebox is where the energy is created by burning the fuel - coal. The piston box is where the energy is turned into motion. This cafe will generate heat but it is yet to be seen if it puts anything into motion.

Is this really the Dionysian gas in full flow - two people pissed up?

If you move I will second.

They asked PD what the place where personofcoloursmiths worked in the olden days was called and without even suspecting what they were up to, we lied and said "a firebox".

 

[krink]

honestly, It is even worse than I thought possible.

I watched that and to be honest, when I think of the left now, the people on this video is exactly what I picture - a load of people who I have nothing in common with.

If you look at this guy


It's like he's channelling Antn'Dec:

So is Benn now a paid up member of this Counterfire thing?

I doubt it. He knows the game is up with the Labour Party - full of people like his son and granddaughter.

I thought he was a nihilist

 

[DotCommunist]

I'm waiting to see if they start stocking Frank Turner shit citrus beer

 

[Hocus Eye.]

So is Benn now a paid up member of this Counterfire thing?

No he just lends his voice and presence wherever there is any kind of left movement activity. Counterfire was created by the breakaway/expelled section of the SWP and Benn is a regular at the SWP's Marxism but has always remained a member of the Labour Party. So far that is.

 

[butchersapron]

And forever.

I thought the guy in the red shirt at the start was channelling a revolutionary Barry Manilow.

Why can't somebody look or dress like someone else with out being described as 'channelling' them - even in the Daily Mail. Has there been a massive upsurge in interest in seances and such mumbo jumbo, putting people in mind of this.

I was using it to mean "attempting to very much look like"; the origins of the word in spiritualism (if that's where it comes from) didn't occur to me. I shall do penance by writing an Express article about chillaxing.

all thats going to do is give you shaky hands and is too expensive. For two sixty you can have a couple of litres white cider and get really agitated

What an arse.

 

[The39thStep]

As far as I can tell, the original difference was that John Rees wasn't in charge any more. Counterfeit have drifted further away now.

At least the rcp had horizontal recruitment and stood for something (even if it was shit), what do get with this lot? Overpriced lattes and lindsey German.
