Articles For New Members

“That as inadequate theoretical and historical knowledge (especially about other movements purporting to oppose capitalism) can lead frustrated and isolated members to seek erroneous alternatives to sound socialist activity, this Conference instructs the EC to arrange without undue delay, the distribution to new members, and other members requesting them, of articles from the Socialist Standard listed (see Annex), together with any other important theoretical articles of which new members should be made aware” (1992 SPGB Conference Resolution).
