1. Thanks for posting this
i checked out the article and site. great educational information on socialism and Marx at the AWL basic education programme

http://www.workersliberty.org/node/9803

Hal Draper's essay "the two souls of socialism" is essential reading.

2. No problem. I'm
new to DU and searched for things on the miners strike anniversary finding little.

It was such a seminal moment in the UK for me, my community and the left that i thought i should post a few things. Still can't shake off the bitterness 25 years later i'm afraid n this area. Although it is channelled nowadays

Support us any way you can in this... http://www.putpeoplefirst.org.uk/

4. Thanks. The miners strike was such a
fundamental part of my upbringing and my community that i thought i'd post a couple of things.

At this moment in Labour history, we are at a once in a generation chance of changing things, the kelaidoscope is in flux and we must steer it towards a fairer world so i thought i had to bring some experiences i've had to the forum.

Thanks again

Equality, fraternity, liberty...
