Anyone know much about this lot? I remember hearing about them and they seemed quite clued up. In the sense that they don't have loads of dogma or bullshit about Trotshite or LMaoist theory, just plain fighting for the working classes. I think this is what is needed, a group/party fighting on issues that affect people from what is a left wing standpoint without all the jargon and baggage associated with it.
However I don't like their Anarcho-Communist esque rejeciton of trade unions, their clame on their website about how socialism has failed and some of their stuff on opposing multiculturalism is worrying and confusing in equal measure. But I'm interested because some of their viewpoints, the whole no bullshit direct confrontation of the issues facing working class people seems relevant and the way to getting change.

I know a few guys involved and this it was a brilliant project to begin with. Bit of a dead duck now though.

I was a member for a while.

The aims and strategy are good. Anarchists need to earn a lot from them, in London many of us have started taking on board many of their ideas.
