The most working-class anarchist group is...

Wanna pint Lletsa?

<Runs from Pickman's Model >

Yeah. E mail me a Guiness please. Standard kind not extra cold.

So says the man whose sole purpose in life seems to consist of starting up 'scathing'-but ultimately apolitical-threads about what the editor of this site rightly calls 'the S -fucking WP.'

isn't it a bit unfair to slag off everyone who posts on those threads?

 

[Pickman's model]

lletsa

why don't you start a thread? it might be interesting.

 

[Chuck Wilson]

He's never slagged off me.

Anyway, have we come to any sort of conclusion as to who is the most working class anarchist group?

As I have said before there are individuals on here who I would have no problem working with and who would be definately be an assett. However there are others who clearly don't see the working class as being central and others who say they do but have no real connection with them politically.

As for Class War. It's dead isn't it?

 

[LLETSA]

Maybe I could start one on the SWP?

Maybe not - better not to tread on the toes of those who have certain areas of discussion boxed off, so to speak.

I might very well do that when I have something that it's worth starting a thread about.

A good rule to stick to methinks....

I didn't do that. But since you ask - no, not really.

so, in the best part of a year you've been unable to think of anything to start a thread about?

you could have started a thread to introduce yrself last april - though it's clearly a bit late for that now.

 

[Pickman's model]

I didn't do that. But since you ask - no, not really.

yes you did.

you said that i started threads which ended up being apolitical, thus blaming the posters on threads i started. i initiated the discussions - i didn't always conclude them.

I could have but I didn't. It isn't a stated requirement of membership.

I registered when it became compulsory so that I could continue to view the board now and again. Only decided to post when RA closed their boards. You lucky people.

 

[Pickman's model]

and did you start any threads on the ra boards?

 

[LLETSA]

yes you did.

You start off threads that are apolitical from the off.

 

[Pickman's model]

some of them, true.

but i didn't think we were talking about threads in books and that.

 

[LLETSA]

and did you start any threads on the ra boards?

I would have to check. Can't remember offhand.

But what's this obsession with starting off threads?

yr just carping from the sidelines, without anything to offer except yr knocking copy.

Don't understand that last sentence.

So starting off apolitical threads on obscure internet boards is somehow showing leadership to the working class is it? Oh no - I forgot, you don't approve of leadership.

Ask the other former contributors to the RA board if I had nothing to say in the threads in which I chose to post.

 

[Pickman's model]

Don't understand that last sentence.

i agree i have started some apolitical threads - in books, health, community and so on - but i didn't think we were talking about other fora.

do you understand now?

i can't think of anything memorable you posted there.

you also seem to be confusing posting here with political activity irl. why?

The vast majority of those in which you indulge your SWP obsession.

Hey, it's good this isn't it? I've never done this verbal tennis stuff on the internet before. All of a sudden I feel like I'm truly up to speed (as they say) with contemporary society.

Makes me regret that I need to go and have a pee.

That's precisely what I am not doing.

no - come up with examples - if you can.

before we proceed, though, you may wish to remind yrself of the title of this forum.

Although it does puzzle me that whenever I come on this board certain people are always but always on line. Without exception. Makes me wonder how they manage to do anything else.

just a good impression, then?

that'll be the mods.

Do you honestly think that I or anybody else would waste time searching the archives of a board like this for threads you've started about the SWP?

The title of this board? What have apolitical threads about the SWP got to do with UK Politics? (You admit above that many of them are apolitical.)

 

[LLETSA]

that'll be the mods.

Oh yeah.

(Rolls eyes and all that.)
