but we have openness to the pole dancing profession

Ah, but batons is a French word, and afaik there are more French speakers in the world than there are pole dancers.

It will no !longer be acceptable for one privileged middle aged man to make a unilateral decision on the part of the group over the language to be used in descriptions of the plutonium fuel rods (and 'rods' with its macho connotations should be renamed 'poles' in all future PD publications to symbolize our openness to the pole dancing profession).

This would appear to be an excellent start to our work on the PD SSP, but....having been contacted by comrades from the Międzynarodowa Socjalno-Rewolucyjna Partia, I feel bound to express their dismay at the suggestion that rods be re-named as 'poles'. The noises coming out of Vilna seem to favour staff or baton as alternatives. Though the latter does sound dangerously like the sort of (class) weapon favoured by the dogs of the bosses to oppress us. Surely this discussion requires some sort of special conference to select the PD SSP(People's etymology) sub-committee? (Henceforth known as the "PD SSP PE SC")

The former sounds dangerously closely related to the subjugation of the proletariat.

A good point, well made comrade. I will propose that you be made a candidate for the PD SSP PE SC elections.

Proletarian Democracy safe spaces policy

First of all each stage of the workers bomb production process (actually the workers bomb should be renamed the people's bomb because 'workers' may be alienating to those of our allies who don't have a job) should be decided by a consensus decision process. It will no !longer be acceptable for one privileged middle aged man to make a unilateral decision on the part of the group over the language to be used in descriptions of the plutonium fuel rods (and 'rods' with its macho connotations should be renamed 'poles' in all future PD publications to symbolize our openness to the pole dancing profession).

At every stage of the production process of the bomb care should be taken to ensure a safe and intersectional space. For example bomb blasts should no longer be assumed to be 'dangerous' with its patronizing connotations of keeping weaker members of Proletarian Democracy out of the way, the whole concept of health and safety was born out of a colonial desire to protect the so-called weaker members and as such must be discarded. Women especially must learn to embrace danger, throw away their constraining protective suits and learn to stop worrying and love the bomb!

Has PD considered ensuring that the aesthetics of its nuclear arsenal are compatible with intersectionality? In your propaganda the workers' bomb is depicted in a phallic shape, as I'm sure you are aware there is a real danger that this phallic shape will cause mutually assured destruction to be a very triggering experience for many. I am deeply concerned that PD remains uncommitted to the idea of the apocalypse as a global safe space.

Yes to fraternal development assistance via the accessible transfer of the people's technology, but "backward" populations? Surely not comrade? Why would we use the language of the imperialist dogs?

Is this something the re-education committee need to be made aware of?

Khrushchevite revisionist assumptions of the superiority of those who possess nuclear weapons for the purpose of carving up the world to share with US imperialism, or a reiteration of the power found in the national liberation struggles of the progressive peoples who populate the countryside of the world? The spiritual atom bomb...

Yes, backward. The idiocy of rural life comrade

The PD SSP PE SC will consider this matter at their next workshop on mistranslations in the works of Marx.

To a 19thC greek scholar the word "Idiotismus" would still have retained the original Greek meaning of forms based on the word idiotes: a private person, withdrawn from public (communal) concerns, apolitical in the original sense of isolation from the larger community.

Sounds like a form of bourgeois individualism - a disgusting slur to throw at our more backward comrades and one I'm confident Marx would never have made!

Would "members" make it sound too exclusive?

 

[SpineyNorman]

That's the patriarchy - the term member is associated with male member. Spear is, scientifically, the only appropriate term.

PD workplace signage up to support new SSP:



Will help all comrades keep a track on oppression in the workplace. Of course we have the potential for a split coming with one side saying that the aim should be to keep the sign to zero days since privilege checked as we all need to check our privilege at all times in case there is a new spoke of oppression we hadn't seen before that we are privileged on. On the other side there are those who think we can create a truly safe space in our workplace with no oppression occurring and therefore no need for privilege to be checked whilst at work.
Personally I am with the latter group, though I do not believe that it is possible to prevent all oppression within capitalism, even in a horizontally organised workers communist co-operative like we have, but it is what we aim for, and we should celebrate.

The development and maintenance of a homemade nuclear arsenal to the exclusion of all other considerations and programs even while still constrained by the ugg boots of US-Sino capitalism should at the very least afford us "the freedom to achieve freedom, then a bit more, then maybe...who knows?" as Michael Collins put it.

"More backward comrades", comrade?
It seems that this bourgeois language is infectious. Our more poorly-educated comrades* will be glad to know that you're spending July and August at the Clacton-on-Sea Re-education Holiday Village.

*History shows us that poorly-educated comrades, after all, have been failed by the system, rather than because they are "backward".

I think that in order that we don't jump ahead of the class on this one we should put forward a motion at the next TUC conference for local branches to draw up a privilege checklist enlisting the help of the HR department at all our comrades workplaces. Obviously once the checklist has been filled out we can send the HR department to the reeducation village but for the time being, a transitional approach is necessary since consciousness is lagging behind objective events.

Hmm, they appear to have spruced it up.

It does look like the Clacton complex might well require some expansion in the near future. Incidentally, do comrades intend the SSP to cover the re-education camp?

More weasely unscientific post-modern liberal moralism comrade. Regardless of the causes of their backwardness, these comrades are indisputably drawn from the most backward populations on earth. Their backward, superstitious false consciousness renders the leadership of an industrial worker-vanguard, led by operatives in nuclear facilities, essential for their liberation

Proletarian Democracy and Anti Pacifist Action joint statement on Usama Hasan and the SWP

Comrades,

Proletarian Democracy applaud the SWP's stance of solidarity against the pacifist anti-worker running dog Usama Husan and his lack of condemnation for the Jesus and Mo cartoon. Such a shameful display of non confrontational sentiment can only delay the inevitable countdown towards the detonation of the Worker's Bomb. Despite their Cliffite deviations the SWP have proved themselves more genuine Marxists than many on the so-called 'left' such as the Provisional Committee for the Bright Dawn of Proletarian Democracy, the IWBA, and many former comrades who have through backwardness and never fully understanding our Marxist programme, departed from our ranks and found themselves becoming sects on the fringes of the labour movement.

We applaud the SWP's stance. however, we as Posadists committed to the detonation of our bomb must go further. We take this opportunity now to announce a solidarity demo with the Christian Union at Bristol Union against the Archbishop of Canterbury after he said that maybe it might not be such a bad idea for women to be bishops. And we are corresponding with the Israel Society at Doncaster University who have asked us to stand with us in solidarity with them against Rabbi Sternberg and his failure to condemn another rabbi and his pacifist message that sometimes the Palestinians may not be so bad after all. The Burmese branch of Proletarian Democracy is organizing a solidarity demonstration with oppressed workers furious at their local monks not being sufficiently enraged about jokes about the Buddha.

such actions prove that we, Proletarian Democracy, go further than the SWP. Through our support of militant religious activists we are building a bottom up network against pacifism which will put our party in the forefront of the struggle for total nuclear annihilation and the rebuilding of a new socialist world!

[DotCommunist]

it is notable that amongst chucklism there has been insufficient room for the laughing buddha. Once again we distance ourselves from the foolishness of 'face' book, a petite bourgoisie time-wasting organ that attributes quotes almost at random- but it should be accepted that a certain level of facebook entryism is acceptable so long as comrades do not discuss where the tea money for last weeks meeting went. Clear cold tap water is enough for the proleteriat and is enough for the voice thereof. Soon this water will be heavy. We fist bump with our persian bredrins here.

Some amongst us may wonder at this support, but are we not united in condemnation of the failed moaists and thier domination of tibet? To me. To you. Is this girder real or a metaphor?

Cmrds from the vedge wedge have seen fit to produce a pamphlet 'Barry and the Buddha' extolling once more the virtues of self denial through lols and no meat. Despite strident calls for a purge I must urge calm. There is room on this starcraft earth for all.

Consider: nitroglycerine requires a smart tap to ignite- the agitation of the molecules is an expanding pressure wave that consumes all materiel. Thus high explosive. How much higher then our purpose! In the irradiated desert to come there will be many wild eyed prophets and tollers of bells.

The betrayers of the fourth international known as 'firebox' collapsed in igonimy and shame. Our fire box is as pandora's.

The intersectional working committees of Proletarian Democracy are constantly striving to identify new and exciting forms of oppression which can be applied to a proletarian milieu hungry to assault new privilege.
Sometimes candidate combabes are too imbued with residual privilege to recognise the depth of oppressions afflicting them; this is where the highly trained councillors of the our Privilege Quotient hotline are essential!
Marxplaining, the ability to explain any and all issues through the random application of unconnected quotes from the works of Marx and Engels, has been crudely applied by soi disant anti party elements for decades, but now under the guidance of our Eternal Dear Leader Barry Mainwairing, whose development of the 'Double Diamond' of Marxism- Posadism: Dialectical Dianetics has open up an new world of oppression and new vistas for liberation.
With close cooperation with their councillor, a candidate combabe completes our detailed questionnaire. Then through advanced proletarian mathematic process a Privilege Quotient fraction is derived, uniquely customed to the combabe.
Privilege over oppression is then converted through the application of DD into oppression over privilege reversing the equation in a mirror of the liberation of the oppressed masses through thermonuclear conflagration.
Of course as any true follower of the narrow path to proletarian liberation will recognise, there can be no true liberation without mass extermination.
What is gained for the potential recruit is a greater understanding of their oppression, and the opportunity to progress further through the ladder of multitudinous positionalism.

There have been rumblings amongst our enemies, whose betrayal of the class has been noted and documented and WILL BE AVENGED! That potential combabes are asked to make a, modest, financial contribution toward this valuable liberationary work. But we ask you, is not the path to intersectional self awareness is beyond monetary value?
