? you didnt sent a PM to me as far as i can seen, can you send it again?
I don't share your interpretation of Lenin's What Is To Be Done, I guess. I don't see him favoring agitation over propaganda in that work. Rather, I seem him stressing the need for moving beyond agitation around immediate demands, and toward propaganda work. If anything, he was responding against the strategy that you attribute to the SWP-UK. Lenin sharpened his formulation of this in his later work "Left Wing Communism: An Infantile Disorder." He says: As long as it was (and in as much as it still is) a question of winning the proletariat’s vanguard over to the side of communism, priority still goes to propaganda work; even propaganda circles, with all their parochial limitations, are useful under these conditions.
How would you describe the revolutionary strategy of Cliffism?
Why do you mark 1986 is a pivotal year in the history of the SWP(UK)?
I wouldn't rush anything. Take your time, get in contact with lots of organisations, ask questions and keep on reading reading reading.
What happened with the CPB?
Left Marxism-Leninism?
In your organisation it says Community Party of Britain.
So, I would favour the paper opening up conversations with individual leaders of the other parties on doctrinal lines and arguing through our differences. Demonstrate in public the errors of the likes of Alex Callinicos, Harpal Brahr, Peter Taaffe.etc I think the WW would agree. But the problem is that these leaders never bother to respond to what they call a 'gossip rag'. So, the critique remains one-sided and this can be troublesome at points, I agree. The Communist University of this year already has set dates. Would that be an opportunity to get to?
You seem like a serious poster and you have self-identified as an 'orthodox' Marxist and look for a group to join... Are you familiar with the CPGB? What are your thoughts on them?
