Exasperated, not angry.
Oh, 'safe space' and 'rape apology' were both uttered I'm sureI suspect not. The "safe space" terminology is quite often thrown at SWP types on twitter.

Regardless of use, the feeding grounds are now gone. Where to pull in members from? Unionists? Nope? non-student anti-fascists? Possibly? Working class kids? Not a fucking chance.
just one active SWP student.
What did he use? A cattle prod?blimey, apparently Weyman got 100 people along to their Sheffield Racism Resistance & Revolution meeting yesterday
If it were not for SU publishing things that people preferred we would not publish, then either none of this would have come out, or alternatively, the information would have come out partially and self-servingly from Weekly Worker, whichwould have discredited the information.
Although SWP members indulge in the conceit that I am a “sectarian” and this is a “sectarian website”, I have no interest at all in fishing in the same pool as the SWP. I am a GMB branch secretary and a prospective parliamentary candidate for the Labour Party, I have no other political axes to grind, and as such there is no self-serving agenda in us publishing this stuff.

Well my position has always been "But such a recognition is completely part of a Marxist approach which acknowledges that oppression cuts across class divisions. We point to how women are trivialised, judged and discriminated against even if they are city bankers or Tory ministers. But we go on to say that doesn’t mean that we believe that such women have a common interest in bringing down the system that breeds such inequality." that I misrepresented that position with my badly phrased initial question, is fair comment.funny to see the prof/kimber destroy rmp3's stupid diana bullshit. referencing zetkin.
I'm glad I clarified at least I didn't intend to infer an individual's experience of verbal racism is unimportant.interestingly, while I agree with the criticism of John Barnes here http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/blogs...acism-football-dangerous-wrong-114214077.html I can quite understand why he would be embarrassed to have his "suffering" of racism, compared to those who suffer from lynch mobs to institutionalised discrimination.
which struck me as funny as Chris Harman asked me to put Ernest Mandel recordings on the resistance MP3 website, and http://www.bookmarksbookshop.co.uk supplies books by all three quoted authors.So many books. So much Trotsky. All that Cliff. I had to knock through an extension in my brain in order to make room for all the books I read and, by quantity, I had good reason to think I was well read. The problem was that whilst I read a lot “within the IS tradition” I’d never been encouraged to get a broader education in case I became infected by alien ideas from other, naughty, traditions. So the works of poor old Ernest Mandel, Germaine Greer, or Hilary Wainwright barely existed, despite the fact that they are each have juicy and rich peaches that could only deepen an activist’s understanding of the world around them.
While a merger with SR was rejected, a wider, broader regroupment project was agreed. This will include not only SR and the likes of Workers Power, but the anti-cuts campaign, Plan C, the Industrial Workers of the World and the Anarchist Federation - which seems speculative, to say the least. The result is not exactly dazzling for people with a principled Marxist outlook then, but it does mean the comrades in and around the ISN and the Anti-Capitalist Initiative, which were scheduled for an imminent merger, will have a breathing space until later next year. Hopefully this is going to give comrades in both groups some time for real thought, debate and critical reflection, which is obviously desperately needed.
do you think they're talking about Labour?it does look like fiddling while rome burns- they aren't in a million years going to be in the position of having to deal with that question and its not even a real question cos who are the reformist parties of the left? Respect? TUSC?
They're talking about being coalition partners as themselves with a governing reformist party. Governing reformist party. Coalition partners.
they're probably thinking that, seeing as they'll be roughly the same size as the lib dems after the next election, they might as well think along the same lines as them?They're talking about being coalition partners as themselves with a governing reformist party. Governing reformist party. Coalition partners.
Do read the last part of that report: they are debating whether they should reject or work in government coalition with reformist parties. Really.
