and there I was, excited to see two new pages of this thread. imagine my disappointment. Seymour looks like Mark Corrigan. Also, I imagine him as the worst thing ever.
aint no such thing as halfway trots
Are you ready for the next episode* (waaay-aaaaay....)
... sell papers every day.
* of the class struggle

Exasperated, not angry.
The first couple of pages of Seymour's introduction are terrible too, but after that, he stops showing off and just gets on with making his case - which is actually a perfectly reasonable and fairly well made one. He's weak (tho not completely wrong) on 'the left' but is very good on neoliberalism itself
I dunno with a preface like that...
what's the point though? Who is going to read it? Especially after that preface

THe point is, as always, to make sure he's a prominent "intellectual". Also, money. Not necessarily in that order.
Anyone who has been following his blog to get info on the background to the SWP debacle.

Rather quiet on the SWP front, so -at the risk of being denounced by someone for posting non-SWP stuff on this thread- here's something which struck me as being wildly over optimistic and reminiscent of that party at its Delta tubthumping worst:

Of course, I would be delighted to be proved wrong by a mighty upsurge in the class struggle. But somehow ...

Tssk tssk, do you not read the rest of the boards? That beauty has it's own thread - http://www.urban75.net/forums/threads/prepare-for-a-mighty-upsurge.321797/

Thanks for the gentle reprimand. It's true that I haven't followed the other boards (time is short!), but will endeavour to do so now. On the other hand, given its somewhat delusional tone, the "mighty upsurge in the class struggle" does ring bells for ex-SWPers like myself.

So many particulars. So many questions.
Will there be stickers? I bought a vinyl copy of Dark Side of The Moon and there wast stickers. Not my revolution without stickers. And a poster.

Eamonn McCann goes off piste on Crimea. I'm pretty sure this is not the SWP line.

Well he does rehearse the old mantra of "neither Washington nor Moscow" even if the gist of the article is that Russia is right.

If anything using "neither Washington nor Moscow" in support of an argument for Moscow is likely to raise more hackles than simply making the argument itself.

This article is worse than German's. I love almost everything about this man but this is appalling. The weirdest thing is his (him of all people with his background and experience of the reactionary carnival of partition) whitewashing of Russian occupation and partition of Ukraine. It's perverse.
And yes invoking Neither nor only to do precisely the opposite is almost as perverse.

That bit reads like something from Spiked

Read it three times now and it's almost like his mention of Ireland at one point is almost a deliberate eff you to everyone who will point out the irony of a Derry man supporting the annexation of part of a country by its larger bullying neighbour.
He has of course always been a maverick who ain't afraid to disagree with any line, that's arguably his strength. But this is so off beam and so counter intuitive for someone in the tradition he belongs to that you'd have to wonder if he'd have written something like this while Cliff and Harman were still alive and before all the shit and splits of the last few years. Counterfire are certainly whooping for joy at this article.

Nice. I think tan leather jacket is actually the thing though. See if you can work in black dress shirt and green Pentel rollerball as well
I must admit I have never seen Calinicos in a black donkey jacket, I do recognise the green Pentel though and of course the perennial black shirt.
