    Does this club support the original form of marxism or just the more tested versions no used in dictatorships ??

    Well, I'm a bit of a leftie, but I wouldn't have the first clue what these clubs are for... Do we discuss how our political preferences are superior, or do we just badmouth the old white men in the other club?

    Thanks for the assistance.

    The reason the various 'left wing' clubs have not survived is because I think most of the regular lefties on the board - including myself - find the idea of a separate club for a separate political ideology, on a public board meant to be for all, fairly laughable. Plus I personally think it flies in the face of what you would expect from lefties, leave the old mens, private entry clubs to those who traditionally are great at it - the elitist Conservatives. They love membership clubs because they love to divide people into boxes and live in such a society, we should be about the complete opposite.

    Anyway, if there is a good discussion put forward, I will post a few things I guess - I post enough in the Conservative club anyway, always is amusing.

    And Lem - we are all used to Gawain by now, normally you learn to just ignore him and a few of his fellow Conservatives.
    GARCIN: I "dreamt," you say. It was no dream. When I chose the hardest path, I made my choice deliberately. A man is what he wills himself to be.
    INEZ: Prove it. Prove it was no dream. It's what one does, and nothing else, that shows the stuff one's made of.
    GARCIN: I died too soon. I wasn't allowed time to - to do my deeds.
    INEZ: One always dies too soon - or too late. And yet one's whole life is complete at that moment, with a line drawn neatly under it, ready for the summing up. You are - your life, and nothing else.

    OMG the nerve of some people. Jag How many times did I post in the Liberal club or proggressive circle. Less than ten. Meanwhile look at your own shamless gate crashing at our club. Youve posted there more than I have.

    Gawain - I have no problem with you posting here, notice the rest of my post on what I think about clubs here.

    But sometiems you do make some statements and lead threads to places you have to ignore.

    Totaly agree!
    I'm a left-winger also. In my opinion we don't need memberships and such dividing things. We could post here, set our perspective and keep this thread alive. The conservatives and moderates could also post. We can't refuse this. We could gain from their perspective and overcome our big defect, fragmentation.

    Anyway, long live the LWC!

    Do you mind if I add you to the membership list? We are still in the process of organizing. The club is still in its infant state. I am welcome to any suggestions, comments, or criticism.
