ANTI HIERARCHY!

Now's the time to start forming new organisations.

All revolutionary organisations run their course.
By the end of their lifespans they all become bureaucratic and hierarchical and undemocratic. They also get WAY too close to The Establishment. The title Non Governmental Organisation is often a contradiction in terms.

So let's start a load of new organisations in order to preserve the vitality and independence of this movement.

Globalisae Resistance et al are all becoming a little bit too 'mature' now. We need new alliances of small autonomous groups that are independent and democratic and non-hierarchical. Everyone should start up their own resistance group.

At my universty we've just started a group called Anti-Capitalist Action. We're going to be leafletting outside Starbucks during [US but why not make it UK too?] anti-starbucks week, and we'll also be squatting an empty house soon and turning it into a social center.

Let's all resist the rise of corporate power.

Start groups against global corporatisation, against human rights abuses, against environmental abuses, against racism, against privatisation, against the arms trade, agsint fascism, against the private finance initiative, against mistreatment of asylum seakers, agsaint the the IMF, World Bank and WTO, against war, and against everything that's fucked up about today's world.

Good for you

Go for it! Just remember to avoid the usual attempt at a Trot takeover bid in their usual corporate style and you have the makings of a good idea. Nice one.

Hey people! I too had a cool idea, I formed this
great organisation called the SWP way back in 1968.
We are great fun, we were at the heart of the anti-war
movement, and what's more anyone can join.
We're a great bunch of guys and gals, and we're into
democratic centralism, and we even have our own
newspaper so you don't have to buy from the mainstream
media.
Come to our discussion groups, to have a drink and
a veggie-burger, relax and talk politics. (Crusties
and vegans get in for free!).
We don't have whitesuits like the W.O.M.B.L.E.S, (too
expensive for us poor revolutionaries), but we did
wear red bandanna's at Genoa.
Do not be fooled by these "anarchists" they are talking
shops inc. their main activity seems to be handing out
anti-SWP leaflets at our rallies, too bad they could
never get their own together.
Also. . .
Can I now introduce the new Marxist-Leninist Samba band,
to paraphrase Lenin, Anarchist attempts at percussion
are an "infantile disorder".
To round off can I invite you join our new front organisation (like the Anti-Nazi League, Globalise Resistance etc.) The Animal Liberation Alliance (ALA).
Now I'm goin' off to drink a pint with my funky, crusty
SWP mates.

Stop slagging off the SWP!

Infighting and general disunity is the way our opponents want us to be.

Wouldn't it be great if we could rise above all that nonsense and bury our differences. We all have far more in common with each other than we have differences.

No we don't

No we don't have anything in common with THEM. THEY are authoritarians, we are not. Next you'll be suggesting we work with the Labour Party (you know, the ones THEY encourage us to vote for). You don't work with THEM. You work under THEIR control. THEY are an enemy of the working class because THEY don't come from among us. You work with THEM if you want, and see where it leads you. I don't intend to be part of another ditched SWP campaign. Action Plan, GR, ANL, Right to Work, Socialist Alliance, Stop the War ad infinitum. Whats the difference between a supermarket trolley and a SWP member? The supermarket trolley has a mind of it's own.

Yeah everyone

Yeah everyone!
Check us out - if you can. We are protest, we are the vocal ones, we are the placard wavers, we are at the centre of the ever shafting road to socialism.

And we've ordered our new 'yasser' pop-on headwear*. Come on you just know you're going to look right in it, don't you?
