G'day Bob'n'Hugh, I realise I'm probably giving Bob a bat with which to beat Hugh here, but I find myself pretty well completely in agreement with Hugh on this one (which proves anything can happen in this world). Get with the critical mass, help that mass discover in itself the capacity to

In reply Hugh writes! I think this is very clear. And we'll be able to see just which approach reaps most profit from the coming mobilizations, that is, which approaches (as there will be many) organize more people into building a revolutionary Marxist party and organizations and networks

G'day again, Bob. Nope Rob. It just don't work that way. You'd be hard pressed to prove it works by way of that vanguard of yours, Bob! Especially in first world settings. We don't have those well-drilled collectively conscious proletarians on whom your mate Lenin was so keen. We have a

Three cheers for Hugh. What would we all do without him. Hugh: It's not a static question. It's a question of a movement being built around Livingstone's candidacy that might well be able to use a few fundamental democratic, anti-bourgeois slogans to gather behind it all the popular

George Pennefather is right to point to a major problem in the history of Marxist theory. He quotes: "The wealth of those societies in which the capitalist mode of production prevails, presents itself as "an immense accumulation of commodities," its unit being a single commodity. Our

It is amazing that this story has not gotten out into the general Left and Liberal press. Njeri is one of the 3 negociators from the community that the Bush directed Texas Department of Corrections had to call upon to difuse the hostage situation several weeks ago. If not for Njeri and
