I expect to disagree with some of John Percy's and/or Allen Myers' opinions, but that's OK. It will be an opportunity to be reminded of what the DSP said and did at various stages in its development. This may prompt some reconsideration of what we got right, and what mistakes we made. Nobody has yet demonstrated in practice that they have the complete answer on how to make a socialist revolution in an advanced capitalist country. Looking at past attempts to build a socialist party may be useful in clarifying our ideas.

Re: [Marxism] Volume 2 John Percy's History of the Australian Socialist Workers Party
POSTING RULES & NOTES #1 YOU MUST clip all extraneous text when replying to a message. #2 This mail-list, like most, is publicly & permanently archived. #3 Subscribe and post under an alias if #2 is a concern. * There’s an egregious error from the first volume of John’s memoir (from 2005), which I pointed out at some point but too late before printing (this was released a bit before the DSP faction fight and split made rational political discussion with John sadly impossible). The incident was well before my time but related to one of my research interest, Australian independent music. John mentions a curious appearance of the SWP in popular culture was a recording, sometime in the 70s, of Sol Solbe heartily crying out “Direct Action, twenty cents!” at the start of the song “The boy who lost his jocks at Flinders St Station”. However, John wrongly attributed the song to Weddings, Parties, Anything, when it was actually by another seminal Melbourne band, Painters and Dockers, on their 1984 release Love Planet. They were named after a fairly notorious union both due to their tongue-in-cheek punk provocativeness but also a genuine leftism. They broke into the top 40 for a while in the early 90s. I don’t know why they had a recording of Sol’s sales pitch but presumably recording urban soundscapes was the sort of thing young artsy punks did in the 70s. Another curious affinity between this band and the SWP/DSP is that singer Paul Stewart has had a special concern for East Timor liberation struggle since his older brother along with four other Australian journalists was executed by Indonesian troops there in 1975, and his later band the Dili All Stars gets back together occasionally for benefits. So there you go.
