Your dog turd spotted post is definitely one of my favorite ever on revleft.

Your article "Anxiety and Destruction" has been posted on both Democracy and Class Struggle and MAOIST_REVOLUTION. Thought it was pretty cool.

If you are interested, most of what I have to say about those topics is in this detailed blog post I just wrote: http://www.revleft.com/vb/blog.php?b=6357.

Do I have permission to use this post in my sig ?

Lol Fair enough. I have been reading about the black panthers recently myself and find it quite interesting, even if i dont agree with all of their conclusions / methods - i'm going to have to read up on mao as well.

yer, i think the riots have put the british left into a bit of a crisis, on one hand youve got people supporting everything that went on, including people haveing their houses/shops destroyed, and on the other hand youve got people like the IWCA saying that everyone in the riots was a lumpen class enemy

thats cool what uni are you going to?

Hi yeah - to be honest, that's not been my experience around here where cwi members have directly organised strikes etc ... i think that standing around with banners etc is something everyone in the left does .

Haha. I actually think that we got the riots stuff more or less right to be honest. I think none of the left really knew how to respond to it and in fact i've seen one sect say that the riots were all done by the lumpen who are the enemy. on 1 hand you can't support looting and damage to working class communities, and i don't think that the riots were in any way revolutionary. however, you can't condemn people or support people being thrown in prison for stealing a fuckin pair of trainers and we're also now calling for a campaign of civil disobedience. i don't think our reaction/response is anywhere near as simplistic as is being portrayed.

i'm interested - what led you to becoming a maoist? are you in a party and do they organise in your area?

fair enough then i didnt know that about maoists. and yer sorry about them too, something went seriously wrong with my computer lol x btw, i was looking at your blog - some really good posts on there

oops, summink went wrongwith my internet there, you can delete those messages lol

ta for the message mate, ha im glad you think im cool, but i'm really not a fan of mao thanks for your replies though on that thread, they're quite interesting lol

i like the cwi, they do good work locally and thats what its about really agree that there are problems, but there are in any organisation and to be honest i cant imagine tankies are any better

ta for the message mate, ha im glad you think im cool, but i'm really not a fan of mao thanks for your replies though on that thread, they're quite interesting lol
