I heard one episode and they were referred to as "serial whingers", oooh edgy. And then there was the "Ireland...twinned with Nigeria" line over and over.

Was the bit in bold as dodgy as it sounds? RTE doesn't really do comedy.

It would appear our position on Kronstadt has been resolved with this - defintiely not fake - message from Trotsky. Obviously people will claim it's fake, but (assuming my memory/understanding is correct), as Posadis has taught us, the aliens will bring full communism, and this is a message from the aliens, blates. It woz lenin wot did it. I'm setting up an anti-leninist tendency. We reject the teachings & methodologies of Lenin, whilst still embracing the teachings & methodologies of trotsky - where these are the same we both reject and embrace them, in a dialectic fashion, seeing them as thesis and antithesis to the synthesis of Proletarian Democracy.

It turned out they were trying to make a laboured point about Ireland's corruption, saying Nigeria is the most corrupt country in the world, which is wrong anyway, but there was a weird subtext especially considering how often all black people are assumed to be nigerian here.

Not really, no. RTE comedy is never funny.

So were the SP, AWL and Workers' Power. Most of the work goes on inside though, I was there leafleting this morning. We'll be there every day until it ends (Thursday I believe) and I expect the rest will too.

Very well, we have enough people for a fully functioning branch in Sheffield. And a decent sized entrist faction in one of the Sheffield SP branches

I think we probably ought to intervene in this thread on libcom, they're talking about PD and one of them appears to believe we're a genuine Posadist group: http://libcom.org/forums/libcommunity/trot-split-lulz-15042012

Bright Dawn salutes the Murdoch attack on Cameron's degenerate public school clique government. We raise our clenched fists in celebration of the bourgeois infighting. At this important time our enemy’s enemy is most decidedly our friend.
Yesterday James lit the fuse, today let Rupert set the prairie alight.
Victory to James Murdoch!
Victory to Rupert Murdoch!
Victory to Proletarian Democracy!

Note to the blogger comrades: when I hit the Tweet this button on this page http://proletariandemocracy.wordpress.com/2012/04/25/communique-3-650870-am-2/ the dialogue box comes up with text that carries no reference to PD. It's not worth tweeting in that format, can you sort the template out so that it tweets lots of PD refs and hashtags?

And here, comrades, the odious Spiney admits openly to his dangerous insurrectionist adventurism and and advocacy of the ill-disciplined workerist temperament of the machine-wreckers. What place for such naive ultra-leftism can there be in a project so solemn and serious as ours?
'Luddism', while futile, still has a bad name.

Too right, read a great book about it years ago: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Land-Lost-Content-Luddite-Rebellion/dp/0434629006'Luddism', while futile, still has a bad name.

It is a part of local history near my home town. A fair few Luddites (some only youngsters) were held in the gaol at Lancaster castle. There they were publicly hanged as well.

When I moved down south I got a pamphlet done by a local historian about similar uprisings among the shearers in Gloucestershire. What he makes clear in that book is that they weren't "against progress", they were against being de-skilled and the loss of the relative freedom and lack of social stratification of the old master-apprentice way of doing the job.
ETA: Here's that pamphlet: http://www.diandsaulbooks.co.uk/the...historical-records-by-john-loosley-2535-p.asp Bit later than the Luddites but same grievances IIRC - I'd not hard of the southern version at all til I moved there.
Oh, of course. For the Luddites It was organisation in defence of livelihoods and working conditions. It wasn't just changes in industry but a time of war in Europe, blockade, and high food prices, that not only presented the threat of destitution but possible starvation for their families.
