Blake's Baby

Wish I could make it to London too- even if I had money, accommodation, and so on, I still have to work...

I'm planning to get in touch with some British ICCers over the next month or so. It's awfully isolated up here.

Cheers BB.

As a British left comm, how involved are you in left comm organisations and which one(s) are you involved in?

Well I think branches of the Labour party in Liverpool under control of the Militant Tendency were flouting Labour party agreed policy in the 1980s. Hence why Peter Kilfoyle suspended Liverpool District Labour party. Difficult for me to think of an ICC analogy but if the ICC agreed to campaign on the slogan 'the rate of profit is falling' and a section campaigned on the slogan 'the rate is profit is rising' then that would be flouting policy. If a member was arguing it or writing it I don't think that would be a problem except for a cadre party.

can't remember if you answered this point, but most current large parties in the west don't follow the model that branches are dissolved if they are inactive or in opposition only if they actively flout policy. These features are peculiar to cadre parties, a model socialists ought to drop in order to seriously grow.

Incidentally if you want to read more about the 1906 Islington branch split you can in the World Socialism group particularly this topic

I am a member of the "Left Communist" group. And thank you for pointing that out.

Do you know of any left communist organizations in the United States?

Ok, thanks.
