"The reason
Sean McGovern that DPAC has been 'taken over' is because you (and others) are
keeping their distance. Come and join us, be counted and make a difference!"
The truth Sandy is I cannot
compete with time and physical energy. Instead of us having one Cuts
organisation, a new one is formed every time a new cutback arises. Thus
meetings pile upon meetings which suits the way the SWP operates.
We don't need a separate bedroom
tax group. Why isn't this vicious attack on our class being fought against a
yet another attack on our Welfare State. I get dizzy trying to keep up with the
different groups that have formed over the past few years.
It's as though five Left people
walk into a meeting and six new groups emerge.
Back in 2008 shouts of
'Capitalism is Dead!' could be heard echoing around Left circles. A couple of
banks were partly nationalised and it was as though the ghost of Clem Attlee
was amongst us. Five years down the line, and what? The banks are fat with
reserves (our deficit); the rich still cheat on their taxes; and neo-liberalism
basks in the wealth it has stolen from the 99%.
The rich may have their
differences, but they focus on the important things; that is ensuring the poor
are kept that way. Why the fuck can't we take a leaf from their book and begin
focusing on issues instead of creating division...
