Workers Power have split

[chilango]

1,000,000,000 points for a thread about it on revleft where people express interest in joining

Do it.

Take Proletarian Democracy to the advanced layers of the proletariat.

Bonus points for anyone who can get PD "trending on Twitter".

 

[SpineyNorman]

We also need a longer name. Provisional Committee for the creation of the 11th International for Proletarian Democracy?

Think that probably needs a bit of work.

 

[chilango]

...but play it deadpan comrades.

Remember - Poker Face.

PD are part of the 7th International Spiney. Keep up or you're expelled.

Like this?

Seconded comrade, get it in the minutes.

 

[chilango]

If you any of you want mocked up PD front covers, posters or graffiti you only have to ask...

 

[krink]

I've had enough already. I'm splitting to Advanced Proletarian Democracy for The Workers' Bomb.

 

[Delroy Booth]

I'm well up for that. The Workers Bomb is a good idea. no irony whatsoever.

 

[Red Storm]

Didn't realise Proletarian Democracy had already existed before!

We thank comrade Tristram P-M for his position paper, 'Towards a Teleology of Post-Schumpeterian Analysis', a vibrant contribution to an essential real-world debate about the issues affecting workers today the most, and a timely shot across the bows of the leaking hulk of last-century leftism. Now available in pamphlet form, this coruscating polemic leaves in tatters the so-called arguments of the deviationist rump masquerading as Continuity Proletarian Democracy.

In 1978, Peppino Impastato stood as a candidate in the Cinisi council elections for Proletarian Democracy (Democrazia proletaria). He was killed during the election campaign on the night of May 8–9, by a charge of TNT placed under his body, which had been stretched over the local railway line[1] – a sinister twist of fate to the car-bomb that had killed his uncle and initiated Peppino's revolt against the Mafia. The same day, Christian-Democrat Prime Minister Aldo Moro's corpse was discovered on via Caetani in Rome. Two days later voters in Cinisi elected him as a councillor.

They do things differently in Italy

For the organisation which harbours the most correct analysis in the spirit of Trotsky, Marx and Lenin to be described as "fictional" is insulting the mass of the working class who have placed its hopes in the Party. Our newspaper, Proletarian World, has long been regarded by the vast ranks of the working class (with the exception of municipal socialists, anarchists and defeatists) as the most correct analysis of Marxist thought.

 

[Delroy Booth]

Whilst others on the so-called "left" have behaved like the worst type of revisionist backsliders, we on the other hand have remained a staunch anvil able to withstand the onslaughts of the hammer of capital!

 

[frogwoman]

We alone have constistently defended the right of North Korea to initiate the Workers' Bomb which will destroy reformism and opportunism and bring socialism to the globe.

 

[Delroy Booth]

We alone have constistently defended the right of North Korea to initiate the Workers' Bomb which will bring socialism to what's left of the globe.

 

[Delroy Booth]

btw that "staunch anvil against the hammer of capital" thing was a genuine quote from an obituary from the Morning Star I once read.

I hope there's an entrance exam.

WPPE ?

Don't worry supporters can still pay solidarity rates for subscriptions.

 

[Red Storm]

WPPE ?

Nope.

 

[Delroy Booth]

I hope there's an entrance exam.

Naturally! We don't want to be letting the riff-raff in, after all.

 

[SpineyNorman]

Is it bad that I'm considering stopping my subs to the CWI so that I can join this group?

Actually yes, that is bad, I should remain in the CWI as a spy like that Nigel fella did!

Not sure if they'd be classed as leftist or not but that sounds a bit like the ALF to me.

Yes, but this has to be followed by "We denounce the pseudo-revolutionary gibberish and effluent of lumpen academia, the quintessential parasitic layer that epitomises the bankruptcy of the petit-bourgeois intelligentsia in the epoch of late capitalist imperialist decay."

Nope.

I'll give you the answer...

Red Action!

We sought neither recognition nor recruits. To describe the structure of Red Action at this time as 'Terrorist' is not intended as a smear or an accolade but as an accurate political definition of how we operated (Making of Red Action, 1988).

 

[SpineyNorman]

That's reminded me, we need a really strange and unexpected position in imperialism. The AWL have the pro-Israel bit sewn up. We can't be pro-North Korea cos there's already loads of nutty groups doing that. What about being pro-Ulster Unionism? Maybe a United Front with the UVF or summat?

Or alternatively we could recongnise Cornwall's right to national self-determination?
