A bridge not far enough, in my opinion.

Did you end up on the aliens/Santa's/Krampus' naughty list? That might be why you're still living under the yoke of capitalism.
You got Dwyer instead - like the time I asked for "the Historian" and got a crappier than average historical romance.
Edited to add: Warned you that the censor's off.

I feel that lately PD has become too theoretical and divorced from the practical matters of bringing about the glorious socialist revolution, and thus my contribution to the next issue of Workers' Girder will be one designed to help comrades perform vital practical actions that may have been missing of late.
If other brothers and sisters felt that such guides would be worthwhile then perhaps suggestions of other future topics could be made, such as the best way to prepare and cook the rich or attracting the attention of aliens in your own home.

Bravo BigTom an excellent and handy guide. My only suggestion would be checklist of royals, as there are rather a lot of them and we must be sure they are eradicated. Baby George can easily be re-educated though, let's not be babykillers!
I think a handy guide for improvised weapons would be useful - how to make a garrot out of a telephone cord or a shoelace for example.

It's not a handy wallet-sized guide though, with pictures like the one above. Have you seen how tiny the text is?

Hardly getting over it.

Tom, your bourgeois upbringing has inculcated you with a belief that the necessary liquidation of the royal family is "murder", and that proletarian methods of necessary liquidation would be "brutal". I worry for you, conrade.

...not to mention that photo of the 'perfect', nuclear family at tea; I'm pretty sure that Engels might have had something to say about that....

Perhaps someone could compile "The Proletarian Democracy Little Book of anti-bourgeois Improvised Weapons"?

I could accept "brutally liquidate" but a revolution without brutality towards the ex-rulers is a revolution not worth having.
Also, I'd like to draw your attention to the fact that the document clearly states that this is the overthrow of the state through means of violent revolution. If you want to make a step-by-step guide to non-violent, non-brutal methods of overthrowing the state, go ahead, I figure it might look something like this:

My only concern with that photo is the hetero-centricity of it all, really I haven't addressed how LGBTQQIAA people might feel oppressed by not being represented in the image of the family there, If only the parents of the family had been of the same gender then we could have hit perfection, although the setting itself is perhaps not exactly right, and the food being consumed may not be PFWC enough for PD. However the almost mind-boggling multi-ethnicity of the family represented is ideal and a true representation of modern Britain. Just needs a child of african descent to complete the set. I mean, to fully represent the wonderful diversity of ethnic and cultural origins in modern Britain which makes our country so special. Not that we're any more or less special than anywhere else in the world mind, that is the way fascists think.
Still after I settled on that picture (which was amongst the first images on google images), I checked my hetero privilege so I think it's ok right? It's not like I rejected images of non-standard families to choose this one, at least not consciously.

We should start a "V for Vienetta" campaign, complete with masks that look like a Vienetta.
Viennetta, perhaps?

Neccesary violence isn't brutal, it's necessary. Note that I didn't say "no violence", I merely stated that "brutally murder" shows your bourgeois origins. Who else but a member of the bougeoisie would suggest that the necessary liquidation of the royal family was "brutal murder"?
Perhaps I've been too soft on you, comrade. perhaps you need to spend some time in the classroom at the Clacton-on-Sea Peoples' Holiday Resort.

A step up from the SP conference I was at which took place in January in Skegness. Bleak doesn't begin to describe it.

PROLETARIAN DEMOCRACY:
Destroying effete embourgeoisement one seaside town at a time - crushing feeble Frinton between the Workers' Hammer of Walton-on-the-Naze and the Peasants' Sickle of Clacton-on-Sea - Rise up ye beach hut users! Smash the anti-pub and chip shop byelaws! Penny arcades under soviet control! For autonomous piers and self-managed promenades!

I quite like it down there - it's like the seaside used to be when I was a kid. And the room sharing means that for a couple of nights every year I get to torture members of my branch with my guinness fueled flatulence

Over here its almost always been held in some community centre or the like in some dismal town in the midlands. But thanks to the economic apocalypse putting a swathe of the hotel industry into NAMA, actually moderately swanky hotels will do a deal to host the whole thing on an off-season weekend, at a rate that's competitive with a community centre and a bunch of B&Bs. Still in terrible towns mind you.
