Socialist Challenge-what the changes mean active in the Labour Party were automatically branded as "reformists'. They only wanted to work with revolutionary women and maintained that It's up to the SWP to decide what's revolutionary and what isn't'. Secondiy, they felt that as some of us differed with the SWP over the nature of the Soviet Union and how to build the Rank and File Movement, it would be impossible for them to work with us. Such political differences would, they claimed, turn Women's Voice into a 'talking shop', and democratic rights for tendencies could only aggravate this.
SWP supporters in Moss Side see the function of Women's Voice as that of a periphery organisation for SWP members and sympathisers. We believe that Women's Voice should FLEET STREET claims that papers like Socialist Challenge incite class hatred and undermine democratic institutions in Britain.
But Maggie ladies government is doing our job for us. The Tories have incited more class Dylan (27 September) was certainly overdue. However, the point is not that anyone expects Dylan to become a socialist, but simply that one at least expects him to produce good music. Socialism and good music are certainly not incompatibie. but they don'talways go together. The Transitional Programme, for instance, could not be set to music.
Nigel's last paragraph, however, gives the game away. He still nourishes an illusion. He hopes this phase won't last. That this is ludicrous is obvious from his own article, which details Dylan's gradual decline. I think Dylan is finished for good in tact i am so disgusica lal l can't even listen to any of his old records.
Pauline Harbour, East London. many people as a naked weapon of class rule. Socialist Challenge will be able to reach an even wider audience as more and more people realise that they're going to have to fight - and fight hard alacks. That paper more accessible to new readers.
We've no intention of dropping our under Pol Pot was neither a capitalist state nor a workers state. It was a historical aberration and its future was always unstable. If the Vietnamese had not overthrown Pol Por it is very likely that imperialism (utilising the refugees and Thailand) would sooner or later have made a push in that direction.
It is true that Pol Pot was not creating a capitalist state. Everything was taken over by the state (including personal belongings). It is also true that the means of production and the working class were smashed. Stalin's. atrocities did have a rationale: heavy industrialisation, i.e. increasing the weight of the working class. Pol Pot destroyed the tiny working class as a social class. All human rights were in order to stop these at bus stops; aking I would maintain that Kampuchea lines and while you're there find out Guildford what the pickets feel about how to win Hemel Hempstead Huddersfield The biggest boost you can give to Hull your paper is to take it everywhere Leamington you go and sell it.

(20 September) was remarkably weak on paedophilia. To say that cross generational sex is a side issue...' (rather a silly euphemism for paedophile sex, aren't sexual relations between a girl/boy of 16 and woman/man of 60 cross generational?) is plainly incorrect.
Daughter/father relationships, lesbian/feminist custody cases, and child/mother relationships all in their various ways proclaim the prolific nature of paedophile relationships.
I find it amusing that David AS rising Socialist Challenge RON Todd's pledge that the Transport and General Workers Union will impose sanctions on the Smith-Muzorewa regime if the Tories lift them (27 September) can only be welcomed. However there is a small problem. In order to impose sanctions the TGWU will have to win the support of its members. And there's the rub.
I wonder how many of the white airport workers who welcomed Smith at Heathrow were members of the TGWU. The fact that racism is so widespread means that the TGWU leaders will face some problems. The should be aware of these before the launch any campaign.
