Class War newspaper

Just reread parts of the first issue. Ian Bone's rabble rousing brought this to mind from our Herakles:

In England, for instance, the way to show political power lies open to the working class. Insurrection would be madness where peaceful agitation would more swiftly and surely do the work.

The show of political power is not the same as the seizure of political power.

Love seeing these up here. Thanks Sparrows Nest!

Not a surprise to see criticism of Class War from the cop collaborators of Sussex University above.

Should point out that this article, though it appeared in Aufheben as an "intake" , was not written by anyone involved in Aufheben.

I remember being invited for a pint at The White Tart by Ian Bone and his cronnies when I worked in a post room off Finsbury Square. The overall impression that I left with was, gobbledegook.

Here's a temporary link to a scan of one of the missing issues #4

(This issue was put together by Lia and Aleks and I have a dim recollection that there was some unhappiness about the content).

The class has to be injected with higher consciousness. This higher consciousness cannot be founded on real experience, by its very definition, and so must find another basis. This is found in how other people suffer—in victims. Anger is twisted out of class solidarity which then aquires the pious stench of Christian brotherhood and can do nothing more aggressive than condemn capitalism for being immoral.

Class War, [#4], on the politics of social-democracy (of the Left and right).
