resident Peter Davies, proto-punk and Anarcho-syndicalist thought he was making a political point when he dressed up as Baroness Thatcher to appear in a ‘pop’ video. Little did the pint-sized poppet know that we at Welsh Icons had a camera person on set.

Within minutes the photograph was uploaded to social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter. It has even been viewed by people as far away as Newport and Caerphilly.
Comments have included:
“I don’t like looking at it, but strangely, cant seem to look away“.
“You know that bullet I mentioned earlier, the one I felt I had been lucky to dodge… well now I realise just exactly how lucky I’ve been. Looking good Davies, loving the pearls !!!”
“my god, i didn’t realise how much i fancy him!”
When asked to comment the diminutive Davies told us:
“Anarcho-syndicalists seek to abolish the wage system, regarding it as wage slavery, and state or private ownership of the means of production, which they believe lead to class divisions.
“Additionally, anarcho-syndicalists regard the state as a profoundly anti-worker institution. They view the primary purpose of the state as being the defence of private property and therefore of economic, social and political privilege, even when such defence denies its citizens the ability to enjoy material independence and the social autonomy which springs from it. In contrast to other bodies of thought (Marxism-Leninism being a prime example), anarcho-syndicalists deny that there can be any kind of workers’ state, or a state which acts in the interests of workers, as opposed to those of the powerful. Reflecting the anarchist philosophy from which it draws its primary inspiration, anarcho-syndicalism holds to the idea that power corrupts.”
At this point our reporter could no longer keep a straight face and went to share the photograph on Facebook again.

This is the bit about the typewriter thing :D

http://www.af-north.org/other pamphlets/open_letter_to_the_international.htm

That there was thievery, burglary and assault at that time is true but we were not involved in any of it. The main perpetrators were of course the ICC, something you are understandably reluctant to dwell on. While some of your ex members in London took a typewriter with them when they left, you engaged in acts of brutality hitherto unknown in the proletarian movement. You forcibly entered ex-members homes in England, stole personal property such as stereo equipment, destroyed their telephones and personal belongings and, where you found them at home. assaulted them in the process. You even had the audacity to return to one former member’s house for a second bite of the cherry only to find that he had changed the locks. Your internationally gathered collection of thugs. nonplussed at this. were unaware that the ex-member was indeed within, prepared to defend himself against a second looting of his home. On your first successful raid on his home you stole many personal belongings. He belonged to none of the factions that left the ICC in 1981 but was ‘punished’ for his personal association with ICC dissidents.

More. you declared your intention to enact these disgraceful scenes at the homes of every comrade who had left the ICC "the internal bulletins belong to the collectivity". In such circumstances. fearing a repetition of such thuggish behaviour in our living rooms it is not surprising that we in Scotland threatened that we would call the police if the burglars tried to enter our homes by force. Whatever that might have meant in political terms it is difficult to see what other threat at that time would have halted the ICC gangsters. The threat worked. The burglaries ended. No one called the police.

The spat was between the ICC and the Communist Bulletin group - the internal stuff was just put up on the Subversion site years later.

I'm sure the spat spilled over.

I have vague memories of being at Subversion meetings when the ICC came along to "intervene". Certainly the two groups were still going at it in their publications in the '90s.
 
I don't get these "interventions" lol i mean what the fuck do they think that people are gonna join their sect just through one of them standing up and reading a list of denunciations, it seems like the worst way to recruit someone anyone could imagine. Don't try and sell papers in the street, or for that matter talk to anyone normal (it seems like they have been living in a basement for the last 50 years) don't try to give leaflets to anyone, don't try to campaign on anything or let alone try to take part in strikes or anti cuts stuff or direct action or anything like that that remotely affects the real world in any way, no, go along to some slightly bigger left wing group's meeting and stand up and read some weird rant and in that way you're "forging a new party" :D

i mean fuck do these people have friends and family etc that aren't in these sects (or any sect at all)? do they actually have a clue what everyone else thinks, do they have jobs etc? How the fuck could you go around all day in the normal world thinking about parasites and swamps and north korea's right to nuclear weapons etc? When they meet anyone normal do they talk like that to them?
 
BTW, did you know that "Uncle Joe" was a nickname created by a US pr firm during the war, to sell the wartime alliance with the USSR to the American public - and when Joe himself heard about it, he had a fit?

and Churchill proudly said he was part of the 'troika of tea drinking nations' that would stand up against tyranny
 
Imagine if the Sparts or something really did seize power one day lol and became the government. Could you imagine what it would be like? It would be like a new stalin. In fact it would probably be worse! You wouldn't be allowed to have any fun or anything!
