About Me

There are a mixed selection of posts here. Some from a previous blogsite of mine (Revolutionary Act - now defunct), some are past articles from the Socialist Standard and Socialist View (SPGB journals), and some is stuff I've had in the press. Anyway, I only go as far back as I began saving this stuff to a pc.

You've got to make contact with the alien leader. How will you tell when the conversation is finished?

When he decides he no longer wants to be leader, apologises, abdicates and establishes the dictatorship of the proletariat on Planet Zonk. Oh, and says "cool blog".
