Pages From The Party Press

As mentioned in a previous post, I'm currently trying to raise the profile of the SPGB on MySpace, and part of that involves me occasionally transcribing the odd occasional article from the Party's archive for inclusion on the profile. At the moment, I'm primarily focussing on historical articles that touch on the history of the American labour labor movement. It makes sense as I know bugger all about the history of American radicalism save watching Matewan and Reds a couple of times on the TV, and borrowing a comrade's Barbara Dane's CDs one time.

So, for your pleasure - and my sitemeter - here's the links to those articles:

From the August-September 1986 issue of the now sadly discontinued Socialist View, the journal of the World Socialist Party of Ireland - The Wobblies

From the August 1986 issue* of the Socialist Standard - Jewish Anarchists

From the July 1977 issue of the Socialist Standard, a report on a debate between the late Michael Harrington and Fletcher Byrom, the former head honcho at the Kopper Corporation - A Better Form Of Capitalism

And previously unpublished, and to tie in with this year marking the 90th anniversary of the formation of the World Socialist Party of the United States - Issac Rabinowich and the World Socialist Party of the United States

More to follow when my touch typing gets above 15wpm.

*The August 1986 issue of the Socialist Standard was the first issue of the magazine I ever read. Fuck, if I hadn't replied to that wee ad in the back of the NME all those years ago I could have been a careerist contender.
