SPGB: The Small Party's Good Blog

It's early doors, but the excellent news is that the SPGB now has its blog up and running.

Subscribing to the theory that if ain't broke, don't pick any of these brilliant suggestions, the Party has opted for Socialism or Your Money Back as the title of the blog. That's fine and I'm not bitter, as it's a canny title and it will doubly serve the purpose of reminding people of that excellent book of the same name.

As it states in that always difficult third post to a new blog:

So here is another Blog.
  • Given time and effort it will make a case for a post capitalist society.
  • We aim to provide comment and analysis from an uncompromising Socialist point of view.
  • We will make no pretence to objectivity.
  • We will present a no nonsense case for ending the present way of running the common affairs of humanity.
  • We will present a political programme based on fact and argument. A programme that we know can be understood by anyone willing to give it consideration.
  • (From 'What? Another Blog?')

    Damn, I guess that means it won't be carrying the lottery numbers. So much for my hope that it would be an online socialist daily newspaper that the movement has always needed. I'm kidding of course. There are some top notch writers in the SPGB, and I'm sure that it will go from strength to strength.

    Bookmark it; commission Banksy to do a mural to mark its appearance; Fisk it; tell your friends (and David Duff) about it; urge Norm to give it a Normblog Profile and maybe even post a link to it on your blog, but perhaps don't hold your breath in the process in getting a reciprical link in return. Some SPGBers do take that hostility clause to heart.
