SWP expulsions and squabbles

[TremulousTetra]

I was once a member of the SWP - I've seen it from within. You're an idiot, I really can't be arsed any more.

so you will be able to quote where they say they are the one true faith?

Actually, please don't bother responding. After I've read of little further, I can see no point.

As we bite the ears of wayward comrades, so we tear a chunk off the greasy lugs of capital!

Have you considered taking up comedy writing or even just creating a blog for political and general comments? You have a talent for parody.

Whenever RMP3 likes one of my posts, I get really really worried about myself.

 

[TremulousTetra]

Well several of you there whine about being misrepresented, and then just look at what you are doing to the arguments of BB. No wonder most sensible people from the SWP stopped posting here

you should be able to get another 12 pages out of that.

Aye and about 2 paragraphs in total about the politics of the split. This thread is quickly losing any use value it had.

Which is the fault of the SWP for becoming less interesting once the special conferree and its immediate fallout where resolved.

 

[SpineyNorman]

We really need SEYMOUR! to say something that could be construed as support for identity politics if you squint really hard while you're reading it - I reckon that would get it moving again.

 

[frogwoman]

Ear-biters and bitees should get a spoke each on the wheel of oppression

 

[SpineyNorman]

Surely bitee = oppression, biter = privilege?

Most sensible people from the SWP are no longer in the SWP

Looks as if conditions in the SWP/SPEW Coalition in the Trade Union & Socialists Coalition is becoming a bit like that in the Tory/LibDem Coalition in government.

Seriously, what is going to be the fall-out of all this on TUSC? I'm genuinely surprised to see SPEW members here line up to put the boot into the SWP.

You do realise that what we say on here isn't necessarily the party line, right? We're a much more diverse lot than the squeeby geebies appear to be.

 

[Jean-Luc]

Fair enough but I'm just as much a leftwing trainspotter as you (and it's not permissible to mention the spugubs here even indirectly).

 

[SpineyNorman]

My honest answer is that I don't know how it will affect TUSC. We've avoided commenting on this in our publications (sensibly IMO) but it's bound to be causing some tensions - can't see how it could be otherwise. From a purely cynical political POV I expect there are people trying to work out how bad the damage has to get before the SWP's involvement becomes more of a hindrance than a help. But that's pure speculation on my part - in all honesty your guess is as good as mine.

Cheers. That raised a smile.

oh.

It's really horrid to read that and look at the date.

I am still very worried about how many people knew and how much they knew about the multiple attacks. Then I remember how similar things have happened in so many institutions and wonder about how many knew about those attacks too.

I'm beginning to think that there is something to 'rape culture'.

Either way, I despair of human beings sometimes.

oh.

The more recent revelations in the press were not really so much of a surprise to us who are veterans of these threads.

I was thinking of this message in particular:

Most sensible people from the SWP are no longer in the SWP

Interpreted literally, this means that there are no sensible people left in the SWP. That's a booting if ever there was.

Can I be let off eating my hat?
