again imc proves its colours

0742 | 19.05.2006 13:04 | Sheffield | World

again imc proves its colours, lack of interest in the struggles of the
working class and very much instead the actions of the middle class
counter-culture. i honestly thought we had turned a corner and placed a
feature on the wire about local matters.. now i find the matilda article
has replaced it.

though well written, it demotes a damm good artical to no
2. getting the swan artical together was a task and as one of the people
involved in said task i feel it should have been left until the event on
the 20th was over then a artical about the m1 should have taken its place.
as it stands the artical on matilda is not the view point of all involved
and was neither talked about within the wider collective that is matilda.
therfore it should not have appeard as an front page until it had been
talked about and agreed by the wider matilda collective, at this stage i
do honestly find myself pulling out of any support for sheffield imc and
likewise imc as a whole as it seems to serve but the intrest of the few,
see..

i do not desire to work with people who see their own interest over the
wider interest of the working class.

What do you expect the majority of people on here are either conspiracy nuts or like to keep themselves in a world of mindless activism removed from the day to day problems of the working class.

What do you mean, "withdraw support", 0742? If you don't think that the IMC is representing the concerns of the working class, then why not just report more working class issues and spread word of the IMC in working class areas and movements?

Pulling out of the IMC just means everyone loses out. The IMC is a collective endeavour, and if you don't like the way it works, try and change it - but it doesn't help anyone to take your ball home and refuse to play.

I'm surprised this post has been allowed to stay, and not been hidden, as is usually the case with any article which doesn't fit into a narrow definition of IMC editors opinion of counter-culture activism.

The working class are irrelevant to IM - all that matters are saving the whale, hugging the trees, campaigning for Africa and flooding the country with asylum seekers.

No wonder the BNP are on the march - the British left are incompetent and irrelevant!
