Bring back hanging
I'd also be interested to know exactly what nino_savatte meant by that too. Maybe on another thread if you don't feel like dealing with it on this one nino_savatte?
durruti02 said:you clearly DO give a shit about RA to say this .. and i do not present RA as anything .. i simply metionned them .. i was never a member, it is not my role to defend them and i do have criticisms though that have no place on this thread
BUT just what DID this mean then???
"We all know how the RA came about....don't we? Friggin' sectarian shite"
p.s. i have NO problem with opposition to my ideas .. there have been really good debates with e.g. rmp3 and occasionally MC and VP who all disagreed with my position .. you however do not want to debate and seem to believe i am bnp or similar and should be rubbished not debated ..
p.s. this is your thread .. not content .. just another attempt to rubbish
p.s. do yuo not think it odd to accuse me of trying to shut debate when it is you who is doing that and you who accuse me of starting too many debates

THE ERA OF THE SECT IS OVER
So where, when, how and why did it all go wrong last time round? That there is no single incident, individual or organisation solely to blame is hardly a surprise. Nonetheless, within months of the working class taking power in Russia in 1917, the Bolshevik leadership laid plans (on a basic misunderstanding that a minority administration could impose communism from the top down) to ban all political activity other than their own. A bastardised Marxism, which undeniably prepared the ground for the Stalin led counter-revolution that followed. Thereafter the entire socialist thought process was contaminated in one way or the other. With the moral high ground surrendered, the rise of fascism followed swiftly. From a highpoint in 1917, defeat in the Spanish Civil War less than twenty years later, arguably closed the chapter on working class self-determination in Europe in the 20th century.
This pattern cannot repeat itself. Not least because those organisations who pledge their allegiance to the failed experiment of 1917 and who religiously follow the formula, will never get the opportunity to do so. The era of the sect is over.

Are you familiar with the word "squadism"?
One thing that I've noticed about the RA is that they keep banging on about "the Left" (as if they aren't on "the Left"). Not only are they schismatics, they're notoriously sectarian.
I just had another look at their website and they say that "socialism is dead". Nothing like aping the words of the right -eh? Wasn't Thatcher's stated aim to consign "socialism to the dustbin of history"?
You can kill people but you can't kill ideas.
torres said:I am nino. Very familiar indeed. What's that got to do with your ridiculous assertion that RA were trots? In fact, you even provide eveidence that they were no such thing in your above post. What sort of trot says "socialism is dead"? What sort of trots describe themselves as 'anti-leninists'?
And now you seem to be claiming that they're thatcherites too - thatcherite trots. I see. Do you want to have a little sit down? You appear to be living in the 80s or early 90s.
torres said:Hang on, let's go back to the start. Are you still claiming that:
"The RA are schismatic trots who left the SWP. What's the problem with that statement? It's true."
nino_savatte said:Where did I contradict myself? I didn't. The nature of their politics may differ from the SWP but you cannot deny where they came from...or are you telling me that the RA was not formed by expelled former members of the SWP?
torres said:A simple yes or no would suffice. You were pretty sure that you were definitvely correct when you posted
"The RA are schismatic trots who left the SWP. What's the problem with that statement? It's true."
Are you still so confident that this is true now? Do you still claim that RA are trots?
torres said:Some questions can be answered with a yes or a no. Do you still think RA are trots for example. Or no. i'm not a trot. That's another one.
"The RA are schismatic trots who left the SWP. What's the problem with that statement? It's true."
Cough it up man.
torres said:Wow, you really are genuinely that pig-headed aren't you It's allright nino, we all make mistakes now and then, we mature by admitting to them. It's a strength not a weakness.
"The RA are schismatic trots who left the SWP. What's the problem with that statement? It's true."
Do you still claim this is true?
nino_savatte said:No, you have a problem with opposition to your ideas. There is much evidence of your abusiveness, lying and smearing of other posters.
What I want is for you to acknowledge the fact that your ieas on immigration have been in circulation for some time; they are not new and they come from somewhere. Perhaps you would rather ignore historical fact in order to advance your bizarre ideas of class and immigration.
You have shown, many times, that you don't read anything unless you can select a quote to support your narratives.
You don't start "debates", you post narratives and then get upset when they're challenged.

nino_savatte said:You're like a stuck record...oh, you're too young to remember things like vinyl, aren't you?
So you're saying that the RA are what? Anarchists? Social Democrats? Marxist-Leninists?
Do one.
torres said:Do one
Yes sir!
What an odd insult as well - 'too young to remember vinyl'?
Come on nino, just admit that you made a mistake when you called RA 'trots' - it's not such a big thing that you need to so publically lose your rag like this. It does, however, bring into doubt your political understanding and use of certain terms - maybe that's why you're acting like this?
torres said:Looks pretty clear what you were saying to me:
"The RA are schismatic trots who left the SWP. What's the problem with that statement? It's true."
Which part of it did i read wrong? Does this post not say that RA are trots?

And trolling? Do you even know what that means anymore? It doesn't mean anyone that doesn't agree with you and it ceratinly doesn't mean people who ask you to clarify what you've inaccurately said about a group that they happen to have some knowledge of. Well, ok better you lop me onto ignore than have to deal with your mistake - if that's how you want to deal with it fine.
