Rees on Lukacs on Lenin

Everyone's raving about it. Unfortunately I missed it at Marxism 2009 and still have a wild Trojan trampling round my computer so have no sound and, therefore, cannot watch it myself.

Take note that most of the contributions are from our well respected Scottish comrades-what are they doing so well that makes them so theoretically knowledgeable? A fair bit of theory-praxis in equal measure me guesses. Ah, if only we could say the same.

Good start and thumbs up to John and the crew at stop the war!

Sometime last year John Rees asked me something like 'What are your future plans?' I took that he meant politically as I believe many people wondered what the hell I was doing or wanted in the past 6 years. My response was "I'll keep going until I get what I want." I loved his response - he said "Fair enough." That was the end of our conversation. Thanks for asking John because this is exactly what I was talking about - comrades being innovative in our struggle against these war mongers in word and deed! I've got what I wanted now John.

The future looks brighter for me now as I recall Malcolm X's words "By any means necessary!" That is why I kept going non stop. I was about to buy some knitting needles to learn a new trade - but will give them a miss for now!

FLorence, what an excellent contribution. I too look forward to more innovative moves-politics need not be boring and/or dogmatic and we should continue to learn from the struggle, from the 'class' and we can do this in so many ways. Have u watched his Timeline programme?

Look out for upcoming events such as 'Stop the War-aoke' Sing along to all your favourite anti-war songs! And other things...

Will keep posted.

Keep it up comrade.
