Why are the "Wombles" getting mixed up with this weirdo outfit ?
Globalise Resistance is a front for hate filled middle class posers with a praetorian guard of the SWPs thugs and morons.
It excludes workers from playing any role, it is not socialist and is a pretty strange party.
A commentator from The Independent called Globalise Resistance the latest attempt of the SWP to colonise other people's struggles.
The SWP seems to have degenerated further since the death of its founder Tony Cliff (all due condolences, naturally).
I doubt whether Trotsky would recognise this travesty, this pastishe of a movement.

I pulled out of Glob Res. As much as I tried to work with what Murray Bookchin called "Pious little Brahmins", I felt that I could not rely on them in a crisis situation, where solidarity was paramount. I refuse to be a second class member of any organization !

To clarify things: The white overalls are not part of
Globalise Resistance because of it's reformist and
liberal politicals. The meeting on Saturday will be
attended hopefully by many people who want to know
what happened. It's therefore our responsibility to represent what happened accurately, thats why we're
going to be there. And also argue for co-ordinated
street tactics in future, something globalise resistance
are against.

Girls, girls, all this bitchiness is unbecoming and really will have to stop.

Keep your eyes on the prize; we need ideas to cross fertilize if we are gonna get there. None of us have the 'right' answer, the 'right' tactics, these can only be discerned with hindsight, something that unfortunately even we don't possess.

Debate and critique = good.

Juvenile bitchiness = bad.

What about some unity in the community. Lets just build the fucking meeting and get the truth out. Trotsky vs Bookchin can wait.

There are serious issues concerning your organization. remarks like "girls, girls", "handbags", ( and "now, now, children" in a previous article) merely show your blatant refusal to acknowledge the seriousness of the matter. i declare NO CONFIDENCE IN GR

for a start, we are not on the same side: trotskyists are state socialists, they want to convince people that if they got in power they would somehow be different from other governments. absolute bollocks. you can not have a revolution led by a self-styled vanguard, it has to be decentralised. history has shown that when trotskyists find a movement they think they can get recruits from, the latch on to it and bleed it dry until it's dead and then they move on.

according to one of their own papers, what they want from the current movement is "a cadre of bolsheviks". they will do more harm than good, and the only useful thing they've done so far is provide prague protesters with good stout sticks. but i think it is important that anarchists and other anti-authoritarians such as the wombles go along to these things to stop people falling into the trap of the swp. most people who do join them get quickly disillusioned with all the bureaucracy and general crap that goes on preventing them ever doing anything useful, and they do far more to suppress revolutionary sentiments than most state crack downs do.

anyway, what do you mean, trotsky would have been ashamed? that is exactly what he stood for. lenin and trotsky have done some of the worst damage to both marx's ideas (he had some good ones) and communism and socialism in general than almost any other people.
