Several historical articles from the Socialist Standard from the 1920s and 1930s not previously available online have now been added to the archives section of the SPGB site here:

I think you may be thinking of this article about the Fabians which does say that they stand for the rule of a bureaucracy and state capitalism.
There was another article entitled "Evolution & State Capitalism" in the April 1910 issue but this is not (yet) on line.
I've passed the technical problem on to our webmaster.
Thanks for that. I for one will be dipping into these with some interest.As I was trying to access some articles on the SPGB website yesterday, and couldn't, any chance you could get your webteam/person to check out why not? Using the search function for articles referring to 'state capitalism' I kept getting 'page not found' errors, even when the search turned up results (ie, it would list the results, then when I clicked on an interesting article I'd get a 'page not found' error). I have this idea that the SPGB were claiming the Fabians were state capitalist around 1908, and I was trying to check it out. Thanks.
Hi I think you must of been using the search form on the worldsocialism.org site rather than the worldsocialism.org/spgb site. The WSM site needs to be upgraded following the recent update of the SPGB site. Sorry about that.
Search on the spgb site works fine:
http://www.worldsocialism.org/spgb/search/node/state%20capitalism
I've fixed the search on www.worldsocialism.org
Thanks Darren, that's awesome.
IIf you reckon I was searching through WSM rather than WSM/SPGB, you may be right. I think the header was blue which might suggest it was the WSM search; but the urls came up with /SPGB, I'm sure.
Thanks also to you Alb, thata looks really interesting and exactly the kind of thing I was after. I wasn't searching in particular for an article I'd read, but was aware that the SPGB had criticised the Fabians for being state-capitalist before WWI; and checking out the WSM site, I came across several search results that might relate to that. But they didn't seem to exist. I'm now trying to find the one that I was looking for yesterday - should have copied the info so I could find it again, but never mind...
There was another article entitled "Evolution & State Capitalism" in the April 1910 issue but this is not (yet) on line.
Just to let you know that this article is now on line at
http://www.worldsocialism.org/spgb/socialist-standard/1910s/1910/no-68-april-1910/evolution-and-state-capitalism
Also others including one from 1925 on the confused idea of a "Scottish Workers Republic" which has come up in the news again.
