I thought that was quite funny. Burning them at the stake would be quality though.

was surprised on reading his autobiog that there is fuck all mention of AFA or general antifascism in it. class war were part of AFA (see beating the fascists) and class war groups all over UK were very involved in AFA. shameful episode of searchlight attempting to stitch up CW deatailed in BtF too.

His book ends in 1985. AFA was originally formed in 1985.

cw involvement in afa and subsequent anti-fascist groups has, i believe, been documented within the paper (class war). at some point i imagine people formerly involved with class war will put hand to keyboard to give their own memories: but it's well known that class war were out at, for example, waterloo in '92, welling in '93 and many smaller actions in subsequent years.

no it wasnt but local groups of CW were always at antifash do's and were part of AFA from the start along with DAM. hopefully someone has kept an an archive of class war papers hosptialised coppers and all!

Printer Phil has every printed bit of Class War there ever was lurking in his loft. A veritable treasure trove.
As for anti fascism, yes indeed many members of CW were very much involved including myself back in the day. But not Bone, it was not his thing. No disrespect to Bone here either.

It needs a better home, where it can be viewed and celebrated. I think this has to be in a society, no a world that has been fought for and won. So it may take a little more time....

The repository is not mine and despite being close I cannot chivy him along. That said who has a mental big fast scanner?

Causing a big stink, a veritable research goldmine on consciousness, plus full of class warfare. This type of thing is more interesting than the entire left and anarchists who do nothing, at least Bone can sense the issue here. Its huge, and the 'aparteid' to quote the Prime Minister of the education system should be of key interest to anybody remotely progressive and a motivator for many.
Of course, with all these things, the idle left and anarchists scoff and do nothing - to turn cases into issues, issues into causes and causes into a movement. That is the real elephant in the room, its very sad but they are the facts

Isn't Bone part of 'the entire left'?

Just read that thread on the Ian Bone blog....plenty of "rah rah rah, we're going to bash the oiks", and zero realisation as to why people despise the system which Eton symbolises. I had to chucke at the Eton rah-rah sneering at Thatchus Maximus for being a "lower-middle class bint". No doubt all of these "Eton" posters wanted to get their 10 seconds of foaming in before getting offline in order to be bulled by the senior boys again...

What page sizes are you talking about.

i am worried, as are other posters, that this kind of stuff is going to rot unless someone makes digital copies. like the red action thing (which i still cant download!!!) class war needs to be preserved. it was very funny and a completely new take on political literature. we sold loads on picket lines and demos.

theyre A3 at least. they were newspaper size if i recall right. TCs right, 'we're gonna need a bigger scanner.'

it wd be fantastic if someone could start one. get people to send their old stuff, or copies at least, and collate it all. perhaps then someone cd start the slow process of digitising. the marx memorial library is something that anarchists/AFA etc can only aspire to at the moment.

Maybe call it the Kate Sharpley Library?
