  • Quote for the week:

    "The capitalist system of society instills within its youthful members aspirations for "success" and an unflagging ambition to climb the somewhat elusive ladder of fame and fortune to achieve comfort, riches and security. The seeds of ambition are subtly imbedded during early school years by false propaganda that benumbs and misleads the mind when it is too immature to be discerning and too enthusiastic to be realistic." Samuel Leight, World Without Wages, 1980

    Labelled with love

    In the words of Barry the radish, "We should have done this years ago.". Finally got round to posting the labels section on the Socialist Standard@MySpace blogspot.

    Champing at the bit for articles that include the label left-wing reformism? Want to read all the Greasy Pole columns in one sitting? Have a recce of what sort of books are reviewed in the Socialist Standard? Wonder if there are a hundred pieces on the blog from Adam Buick yet? Then click on the provided links and the hundreds of others over at the blog. (The labels are listed in alphabetical order on the bottom ride hand side of the page.)

    You know it makes google sense.

    Another cracking front cover for next month's Socialist Standard from Paddy and Neil. They'll be missed when they step down from doing the layout of the Standard.

    Didn't we do this already with Artmedia Bratislava a few years ago?

    Seven minutes in and they're already 1-0 down . . . at home . . . against a team founded by Felix Dzerzhinsky.

    It's going to be a long season following Celtic on BBC's live text.

    Whatever happened to Bob Bert?

    Apparently, it's not just MsMacGuff who has issues with NYC's finest:

    "Sonic Youth - how can you be in a band for about 25 years and make about 20 albums and never have a single song? It's just jazz by people who are shit at their instruments "

  • Open Letter to Michael Moore
  • They shoot cowards, don't they?
  • Whose thoughts are you thinking?
  • Quote for the week:

    'Labour is the source of all wealth, the political economists assert. And it really is the source - next to nature, which supplies it with the material that it converts into wealth. But it is even infinitely more than this. It is the prime basic condition for all human existence, and this to such an extent that, in a sense, we have to say that labour created man himself.' Engels, The Part Played by Labour in the Transition from Ape to Man (1876)
