Die Neue Zeit

When i spoke of liberation camapigns, and the CPGB's disregard for them, you said:

"Well, a return to orthodox Marxism means the downplaying of New Left identity politics and an emphasis on class politics. I don't see a problem there."

Do you even know what identity politics are?
And if so, why do you see them as seperate from class politics?

Thanks

Ahh then. It seems you use it more than other users. Also, are you a Kautskyan? I am unfamiliar with his works.

What is social-proletocracy?

thanks for the clarification, comrade. Your post raised a few eyebrows until I figured out you were referring to bobkindles :þ

glad you were interested in the article about bordiga i posted. was worried nobody would actually read it.

In the Militant-era the word sect and sectism was used to denounce those organizations on the left that made programmes which didn't accaunt for the 'subjective situation'. C.f. the "tranistional method" or "approach".

In the post-Militant era the word sect got replaced by "ultra-left". This can only be understood in the context of the organizational crises of the IMT and CWI.

"we're more than qualified to be on the party's "formal program" committee or what not"

But we don't have the kind of "good noses" one needs to avoid rampant "ultra-leftism" .

Did you read my letter in the Weekly Worker?

I think I can finally stop ranting about what happened months ago thousands of miles away from me. it's kinda like I now have closure. I had lots of strong opinions about it. The only thing I regret is the last sentence. I think I was trying to have some grand conclusion to it reinforcing my internationalist views, but it sounded like I was saying that it's inherently reactionary to fly the British flag. That's actually not what I believe.
