Just two things with regard to Mr. Ellis, a former SLP member who has been carrying this torch around now for more than 30 years:

1st â€” Mr. Ellis to the contrary notwithstanding, nothing yet has “sealed the SLP’s doom.” We’re still here.

2nd â€” Whatever “yahoo group deleonism-list” may be, and whoever may be responsible for it, it has nothing to do with the SLP and the SLP cannot be held responsible for whatever is posted there. The SLP has a website (www.slp.org), and when it comes to the World Wide Web and the Internet, that is all the SLP has. Anyone who wants to take Mr. Ellis’s advice to “See for yourself” will have to go there.

This is a comment from Ken Ellis, but I am posting it for him because his computer is having technical troubles posting: “What sealed the SLP’s doom was the fundamental dishonesty of the rationale for the party’s Socialist Industrial Unionism program. While attempting to dialogue with some of them about their many indefensible theories, they resort to the same techniques perfected by the late SLP National Secretary Arnold Petersen: they become indignant at the idea that their theories are flawed, they attack the critic, and they change the subject. No appeal to reason can persuade them to examine their theories with any degree of objectivity, so immersed are they in stagnant dogma that they worship. See for yourself at the yahoo group deleonism-list and go back to early 2009 to see how many times important issues were evaded. Lots more damning evidence avails at my web site.

The Socialist Labor Party, unlike other left groups and parties, has never supported the Democrats. Hopefully the SLP will find a way out of this mess they’re in; they have really been the only truly Marxist political party in this country for many years. And they did not support Obama.

Frankly I’m amazed they still had an office – but its VERY good to know that their archives have been preserved.

Echo the plaudits to Richard Winger – does a great job.

Yes, Don, Richard Winger deserves appreciation from all of us – very much so.

While we are all here, let’s thank Richard [Winger] for being so fair and balanced! I have found both TPW and IPR to be very [alright, some what] biased and not living up to their moniker and or original mission state ment[s]!

Does that mean that we are going to receive even more bourgeois conservative postings (most of them not logical) than we already do. God forbid!

On the subject of other closings, can anyone tell me the story about Third Party Watch? Are they on vacation or something? They haven’t posted since December 22nd.

And creating all those new disabled veterans via that totally unnecessary Trillion Dollar foreign adventure in the middle east?
