A conversation that may or may not have taken place recently between two WSM'ers:
First Abstract Propagandist: "I think the Party should consider starting up its own blog which could be directly linked to the existing website.
The beauty of the Party having a blog would be that it would mean that there could be much more topical items on the net, posted much more frequently. Rather than people visiting the Party website once a month, for when the latest Socialist Standard comes out, they would be visiting it every couple of days to see what The Socialist Party, and other members of the WSM, were saying about the issues in the news.
I tried to raise the issue as a Branch item for discussion at the last Party Conference but you could tell that most members didn't really know what a blog was, and its potential for Party propaganda."
Second Abstract Propagandist: "I'd sooner we didn't call it a blog - it should be called a News Group. The word 'blog' conjures up an image of a thirteen year old writing an online diary."
First Abstract Propagandist: . . . . . [Stands up and walks away]
Second Abstract Propagandist: "Where are you going?"
First Abstract Propagandist: "Just nipping off to write up this conversation for my News Group."
