ESF - Finally, Success Or Failure?

Chris, SWP/Ken (personal capacity) | 18.10.2004 23:17

OK we've had all the bullshit about the birth of the New Revolutionary Left, the struggle for ideas and praxis (whatever the fuckery that might be) and the ESF, Blar dee Blar.
Now lets get round to the serioso shiteroony, and show these sectarian turds what the fuck's fucking what.



How many fucking papers did we sell?

How many new recruits?


Show us the stats central committee!

Official Statement

19.10.2004 20:13

Exceptionally, I have been asked to make a statement to clarify matters because previous comments purporting to be me were hoaxes. They had nothing to do with the ESF, SWP or me, the real Chris Nineham.

Let me say the ESF was brilliant, and our comrades helped make this possible. The SWP steward who got an anarchist arrested is a bit of a nob, but he wants his apologies passed on - he thought the guy was a WOMBLE not an anarchist.


Having exceeded all our re-building targets, the Party stats for the ESF were, in fact, great. We sold over 250 papers, and recruited 7 brand new comrades. Additionally 15 of the new-style speculative joiners packs went out (thanks to comrade Mandy from London) to a complete North London Rugby club who turned up (pisssed) to the ESF... what a larf.

Dramatically, a comrade left Workers Power and joined us in the pub on Saturday night.

No other group can match our stats. We beat the Green Party and CND. RESPECT had the only other decent stats.

Help us re-build a new style SWP happening in a Socialist Worker Forum near you.

Cool-it-now, fist in the air, Comrades!!!

Official SWP to Change Name

19.10.2004 23:45

The week after the comrade student group the SWP re-launched their newspaper Socialist Worker they are officially changing the party name to the New SWP.

H


Ha ha ha - very droll impersonations of me.

20.10.2004 14:37


We would not change the name of the SWP without consulting the membership. And as yet haven't. But we shall be relaunching our Socialist Worker Forums as: Worker and Social Forums.

The paper is not being renamed, although a newswire and web-site called New Independent Media is starting up soon by a cooalition of the left including the SWP.

Since there has been so much speculation, we actually gained over 15,000 new members at the ESF.

Going forwards: the two most important tasks confronting the class are building RESPECT for the general election and G8 alternative conference and Demo.

Well done everyone.

Chris Nineham
