spartacist stall....outside soas (russell square)

the stall, is mad!

I don't know about the spartacist league in general, and my opinions only relate to my experience on the stall which was positioned outside soas university today.

the stall had inflamatory statements put on placards, and the one which drew me into debate with one of the guys manning the stall went something along the lines of "down with the dalai lama"....

after a small debate with the guy i got the impression of a severely dogmatic, black and white thinker who saw the dalai lama as a bastion of the imperialist us government whilst the chinese government was shrouded in this beautiful glow of loveliness....with the tibetans living a wonderful life...

surely, such left-wing propaganda does no good, it has no humanity and no thought in it. . . to all the new students at soas, their stall can only serve to make them incredibly sceptical of holding left wing views..

there are many great left-wing organisations operating these days and making connections to people....its just very sad to see these dogmatic ideologues in such a prominent place....
