A EUROPE OF PROLETARIAN NATIONS?
If we could somehow combine Nigel Farage's Europe of Nations (or as we call it an Association of Independent European Socialist States) or an irradiated moon of Jupiter with spirit of People’s Korea, a fully-fledged Proletarian Democracy may emerge. Nigel Farage genuinely desires national liberation and nationwide independence – what better more popular British protagonist of juche is there? Galloway? We think not. Whilst we disagree with Farage on the use of the bourgeois colour purple, we would like to see a constructive dialogue between the progressive minority within UKIP and PD. The nuclear ball valve is in their court, if they are serious about furthering their anti-EU goals.
OUR SECTIONS
Our journalist section members have between them, in total published or been heavily involved in 398 articles for the Guardian/Observer, 314 articles for the Independent and Independent on Sunday, 58 in the New Statesman, 43 in Red Pepper, 36 in New Humanist and 3 in New Scientist. They have visited over 16 crisis-ridden countries and made up over 89 quotes attributed in part to 21 made-up people, correctly justifying this Proletarian Democratic practice on the grounds that many people made up names when returning Poll Tax forms. Our Manchester members, still our core, have intervened in literally dozens of meetings: 3 ICC meetings, 4 CPGB meetings, 9 SP meetings and 19 SWP meetings. We hope to branch out and grow our appeal by intervening in a Spartacist League meeting somewhere in Sheffield in the new year. Our North London members, who spearheaded the ‘Long March of the Hoxton Crowd' driving their family property portfolios further northwards into Haggerston and Dalston Kingsland, have fought the housing benefit cap by holding a meeting on a weeknight in London Conway Hall without childcare at the venue or any babysitting in people's homes. Our South London members have attempted to discuss the consequences of the 1974 Imperial Typewriters strike with Darcus Howe on 2 separate occasions waiting for his departure from his flat in order to Doorstep-Dialectics Discussion-Challenge him. This has been a superb Proletarian Democracy innovation, one we look forward to applying to Tariq Ali. (Discussing Vietnamese Trotskyists in 1937 makes perfect sense in Tariq Ali's neighbourhood of Muswell Hill-Crouch End. )
Our unflagging youth movement members have, over time, released several fundraising CDs with poorly mixed KRS-1, Public Enemy, Paris and Dead Prez songs. 'Revolutionary Mixtape 1', ‘Popo the Block’ and ‘Down with Kim Howells – the Compilation’ were particular favourites. They have organised 3 highly-liked post-ironic Facebook 'joke' campaigns to 'vote for the most working class one' in various Simon Cowell television shows, and made the tough-revolutionary point that the NUS is not like a workplace union in a total of 8 different ways. Inside, but outside and against the unions - at the same time. Have your cake (from the SU shop’s fair-trade range), but keep it for later!
Our women's members (12% in all, a supremely high part of total membership compared to other vile sectarian ultra-leftists) have demanded funding to organise a women's day from general funds. The discussion between the Proletarian Democratic Organising Committee and Women's Committee over this point has been in progress over the past 3 months and will continue at the next sub-congress at the semi-regional level. In the meantime, some of their members have written an appraisal of another journalist member's Guardian Saturday Magazine feature on unusual lizard pets, scoring it 8 out of 10 in its attempt to insert Proletarian Democracy feminism into newspaper articles. (Compared to the tawdry efforts of Madeleine Bunting, Liz Jones and Rosamund Urwin and their limp bourgeois feminism, our women’s section are like a male’s facefull of pepper-spray laced with uranium oxide ready to decay). A response paper is expected soon. Our racial minority caucus consists of 1 member, an Egyptian international PhD student completing his thesis on the Middle East labour movement in a prestigious economic history department.
A BOOM WITH A VIEW. THE WORKERS’ BOMB.
Our efforts prove we are the hardest working and most correct organised left-wing grouping in Britain. We have done all this allied to the spirit of Proletarian Democracy. There are endless complaints about us we shall not dirty ourselves with answering all (or indeed any) of them. We merely wish to re-emphasise the central point. We do what we say. We have the vision and you have the leg-work. Look at the title of our paper 'Worker's Girder' it means what it says - to those who understand no explanation is needed, to those who do not understand no further explanation is possible. One day we all will look over the part Proletarian Democracy played in the construction of a post-nuclear bomb workers’ democracy and smile with pride. Join us.
