Conversation Between Lolshevik and Q

  1. Q
    Oh, good luck to your initiative btw (I forgot to say that in my post in the IWL thread )
  2. Q
    Yeah, that kind of self-importance, the "we're the epicenter of the world" thing. I guess it comes with being the imperialist hegemon

    Knowing Esperanto has an added advantage in that you learn more easily the general layout of how many languages are constructed. So you could learn Spanish faster for example.
  3. Lolshevik
    What do you mean by that exactly? I know a lot of people here have the attitude that we don't *need* to learn a second language because English is the world language, etc. Of course it isn't, and even if it was it won't be forever. I've tried learning Esperanto and had a very high degree of success but of course there is the problem of finding someone to talk to. All the non-anglophones where I live speak Spanish.
  4. Q
    We don't care much about American self-importance

    It's never too late to learn a second language of course

    I don't think too many people know French and German is really only well known along the borders.
  5. Lolshevik
    Q, I was just wondering, do people in the Netherlands mock Americans for our usual monolingualism? I've heard that most Dutch people can speak English, German and French in addition to Dutch. I lived in Florida for most of my life and never bothered to learn Spanish or Kreyol, and I regret it now.
  6. Q
    Yes. At this point in time I think that we should work to establish a clear revolutionary lternative and given the circumstances, work in the SP is pointless at this point in time.
  7. Lolshevik
    forgive me if I sound harsh, obviously I don't know the situation on the ground as well as you, but that doesn't sound like a recipe for success to me. are you in favor of an open turn?
  8. Q
    Hey,

    Thusfar factually 2 members have been expelled from the party. However, working inside the party is practically impossible now and has to be done under secretive terms.
  9. Lolshevik
    Hey comrade,
    I read an article on socialistworld.net, the most recent one on the site, indicating that Offensief are active in the Dutch SP but that one member had been expelled and others are facing the same fate.

    I thought the whole of Offensief had already been expelled from the SP. can you enlighten me on this?
  10. Lolshevik
    I'm from the U.S., so unfortunately I won't be able to make it.
