What we stand for


Who am I and what do I stand for?

Well, I am a Marxist and a member of the Labour Party. There's a contradiction in terms. I know many of the lefty bloggers and it seems to be catching on.
I am a member of the trade union UNISON and the assistant branch secretary of the Islington branch.

Politically, I was once in the IMG--International Marxist Group--then its follow-up groups, the Socialist league (who published Socialist Action), the International Socialist Group (ISG-publishers of Socialist Outlook). I left them in 1991 and became politically aligned to a mainly French group called the Lambertists, after Gauloise smoking leader Pierre Lambert.
Now I support a small group called Workers Action (see www.workersaction.org.uk ).

I nivite anyone who remembers all this or even me to write in and discuss those heady days back in the 1980's when we fought Reagan and Thatcher and spent our time in YCND and at Greenham Common.

Cheers for now

Mikey
