I think we should play a game. Put forward a made up far-left grouplet name, and see who first manages to come up with one that actually exists. My suggestion is The Left-Leninist Current.

 

[butchersapron]

Why are the funniest things always drenched in such sadness and failure?

Shut up.

[ItWillNeverWork]

Tetchy.

You can't have Left Leninism. Doesn't work.

You are free to come up with your own.

Workers Power candidate Jeremy Drinkall in the last general election:



His 109 votes beat the Cats Protection League candidate by 13 votes but trailed the SPGB by 34.

That's a good result. Cats are very popular.

They publish "Aurora". that's a cool name.

 

[butchersapron]

They publish "Aurora". that's a cool name.

It's a fantastic name - it only come out as one page sheet every so often though.

That's a relief. For a second I thought you might be Dutch, and I'd hit upon a sore spot.

 

[butchersapron]

A shell from the battle ship Aurora told the people planning the storming of the winter palace to get cracking. Do it now!
