Fight for socialism in 2024! [ The problem with David North's Socialist Equality Party and its World Socialist Website ]
No surprise that my comment on David North and his Socialist Equality Party was REMOVED. But on whose authority? North's Socialist Equality Party is the quintessential Marxist " vanguard party " sect and personality cult . Since it idolizes the long dead Russian revolutionary leader Leon Trotsky it is actually a personality cult within a personality cult. The members of David North's Socialist Equality Party can be compared to the " Clears " of the Church of Scientology . They will not even talk to people on the Left not affiliated with their effete organization. Oddly enough , their articles on world events in their World Socialist Website are usually commendable and truthful . And I frequently forward them on my blog and Facebook page. Just weeks ago I tried to comment on a WSWS article condemning CENSORSHIP of anti-Zionism and anti-American imperialism public opinion , condemning this contempt for the free speech tradition of Western Civilization. Then I was quickly reminded that I was instantly recognized for the " Catholic , fascist , anti-Semite " that I am ( ??? ) . A red banner message sprang up saying that I am BANNED FROM THE WORLD SOCIALIST WEB SITE . And I have been for years now.
The collapse of so many " vanguard " Marxist parties is the main reason I remain an independent democratic socialist. Also, the Left in general seems implacably hostile to the world's great religions , especially to the Catholic Church. I have said in many posts, that were not censored, that the biggest mistake of the old Soviet Union was not SOCIALISM. It was turning itself into a dreary " officially atheist " tyranny.
How can any of these remaining Marxist " vanguard " parties ever spark a mass movement while being so mentally out of touch with the masses ? It is not enough for a revolutionary party on the Left to have grasped- or imagine it has grasped- the LOGIC OF HISTORY . It must have considerable EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE . A working class that needs to be told that it is exploited and oppressed is hopeless. But still MILLIONS of working class people around the world go to church once a week compared to the pitiful few who attend arid and rather ludicrous lectures on " dialectical materialism " ( which seem to prove that the COSMOS is on our our side in overthrowing the capitalist plutocracy ! ) .
If the SEP sect survives its Great Leader David North , 25 years from now another SEP successor cult leader will be directing the CLASS STRUGGLE from high up headquarters of the World Socialist Website.
Of course , I do not expect any SEP member to reply to my post here. Or to even say a polite HELLO !
