Do They Mean Us? #5

" . . . a weird little left-communist sect"

Probably the same SSY cadre who constructed the fifty foot effigy on wheels of my personal hero, Jock Tamson Tommy Sheridan, and who then chose to pour four cans of kerosene over that magnificent chiselled monument to the tribune of the people, before setting it alight and pushing it downhill from atop a Munro into the sleeping Potemkin Village of Bambery. What a fiendish cartoon villain.

But as he has mentioned Left Communism, it would be amiss of of me if I didn't point you in the direction of this interesting introductory article on Amadeo Bordiga that originally appeared in the Rubel and Crump book, 'Non-Market Socialism in the Nineteenth and Twentieth Century'.

Before you ask, this excuse of a post is Desperate But Not Serious.

aidan (and danny boy?),

it was my wee joke. You taking it seriously worries me. ;-)

The 'Do They Mean Us?' series is just an excuse for me to pad out the blog. See here, here, here and here for further proof. I'm shameless like that.

However, it was comical to see us tagged 'Left Communists'. The LC don't like us very much, 'cos we are in the 'swamp'. Don't ask, but reassured it has nothing to do with Camp Secret Squirrel. ;-)

Cheers
