The current edition of the Weekly Worker
(http://www.cpgb.org.uk/worker/745/index.html) is a hoot!

The final paragraph of Dave Vincent's article "PCS opts for talks", consisting
simply of "I despair", sums up the state of Marxism in Britain and
internationally. Elsewhere in the same issue, Peter Manson's article "Expensive
absurdity" reports on the 80-90 strong conference of Left Alternative, the
Socialist Workers Party's (SWP's) new "electoral front that does not contest
elections". Considering that the SWP has long been the largest Marxist
organisation in England, its troubles during a massive crisis of capitalism are
remarkable!

James Turley, in the article "Obamania and the left", says "by mid-2007, it was
abundantly clear that the Nader movement had all but wilted. So where had these
people gone? To the Barack Obama campaign, of course: the electrifying orator
and prophet of 'hope', 'change' and a host of other vagaries had poached this
grassroots constituency with impunity." Rather than celebrating Obama's victory,
and pointing out the correctness of Ralph Nader's former supporters in shifting
the Democrats to the left, and they are way to the left of New Labour in Britain
as a cursory look at www.barackobama.com would reveal, Turley moans about the
Democrats being a capitalist party. Surely, as Ted North reports on
"progressive, Keynesian [Gordon] Brown" in "Brown’s recovery and the global
downturn", with Labour easily winning the Glenrothes by-election and "the
Scotish Socialist Party winning 212 and Solidarity a disastrous 87 votes", part
of the solution to achieving
  socialism in Britain too is participating in a capitalist party!

So what does the CPGB (Communist Party of Great Britain, publishers of the
Weekly Worker) recommend as a solution? Well, they have been plugging away with
their pet project of a unified 'Marxist Party', with such monumental success
that their guru John Bridge (alias Jack Conrad) cheerfully reports, in "Future
course to be voted on", that (under their leadership) "the national committee
[of the Campaign for a Marxist Party] unanimously agreed to put a motion to the
December 6 AGM to close down the organisation" and instead "establish a
committee in 2009 with the aim of promoting the study of Marxism and the unity
of Marxists as Marxists"!

Surely it's time to face facts - Marxism, as a force capable of challenging for
power, in Western countries anyway, is dead!

But what about the unethical capitalism of George W Bush? Surely the Obama
victory marks the point at which it is mortally wounded too! Obama's recent
remarks about closing Guantanamo Bay are an indication that this era is coming
to an end. Granted, Obama's programme is not as revolutionary as I proposed in
my Ethical Capitalism Network (www.ethicalcapitalism.net), but the struggle
between the more ethical and less ethical capitalists has surely been won!

But the socialist left in Britain is not dead! The Convention of the Left at the
time of the Labour Party conference in Manchester in September brought together
many hundreds of left-wingers inside and outside that party to discuss the way
forward. That unity is not over - local meetings (including in Manchester) are
taking place and there is a recall conference, now postponed to Saturday the
24th of January (also in Manchester - see www.conventionoftheleft.org), which
will hopefully set up some sort of anti-capitalist network. [Incidentally, an
SWP member (Ian Allinson) suggested this when I raised the issue at a South East
Manchester SWP meeting.] In the current economic climate, a charter of reformist
demands (like the SWP's People Before Profit Charter) or even transitional
demands (like those of the Socialist Party) is inadequate. We need to point out
the need to replace the entire capitalist system, even if we don't use the word
"revolution".

I now recognise that the idea of hierarchies of committees based on workplaces,
as proposed by Marxists, should be part of an ethical socialist society - as
long as there are also committees based on local communities and the government
is elected by proportional representation (preferably by single transferable
vote). I now recommend a fusion of my ideas and those of Marxists and
anarchists. I'd strongly welcome a democratic revolutionary socialist party
based on such a fusion, but a looser and broader anti-capitalist network
(perhaps called the Anti-Capitalist Network) appears to me preferable in Britain
at present.

So what will those nasty unethical capitalists do when they see their power and
wealth slipping away (due to a looming victory of ethical capitalism or
socialism). Well, we should be prepared for them to try to bring about some sort
of apocalypse. As I sang in my song "99 Blue Balloons" (see
http://www.socialiststeve.me.uk/poetry.htm), when there is "nothing left but
suicide" they could allow a terrorist attack on a nuclear power station (like
9/11 was an inside job - watch the BBC "Conspiracy Files" programme on the third
tower, that collapsed despite not being hit by a plane, at
http://video.google.co.uk/videoplay?docid=9072062020229593250 or read my review
of it at http://www.socialiststeve.me.uk/conspiracy-files.htm).

An alternative apocalypse could come about via artificial bacteria being
released to target people with certain genetic characteristics (a sort of racial
war but it could be based on genetic characteristics other than race like the
colour of people's eyes). This may sound like science fiction, but J Craig
Venter's institute in the USA has proposed precisely this, supposedly to stop
global warming, and they first decoded the human genome mainly using Venter's
DNA. I now see my most important task being to do more work on my artificial
intelligence/simulation language SDML (I've almost finished making databases
much faster) and working in the field of bioinformatics to prevent such an
apocalypse. In the meantime, you can download and try out SDML, which is
available as open source Smalltalk code (as I publicised in a message I sent
several days ago at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PRsocialism/message/134).

McCain's tales of war don't add up
(Friday 31 October 2008)
Guard talks of tough but humane conditions, writes JAMES TWEEDIE.

US Republican presidential candidate John McCain has built a reputation as a war
hero on the basis of his claims of torture as a prisoner of war in Vietnam.

He was shot down over Hanoi on October 26 1967. It was his 23rd mission over
Vietnam and it ended in a lake in Hanoi known as Silvery Rushes, where he came
down after bailing out from his burning plane.

But the chief prison guard of the jail where he was imprisoned revealed recently
that Mr McCain had not been mistreated at all.

In an interview with the Italian daily Corriere della Sera, Nguyen Tien Tran
acknowledged that conditions in the prison were "tough, though not inhuman."

But, he added: "We never tortured McCain. On the contrary, we saved his life,
curing him with extremely valuable medicines that, at times, were not available
to our own wounded."

Shortly after his release in 1973, Mr McCain told US News & World Report that
his prison guards had beaten him "from pillar to post."

After being worked over at intervals for four days, he said that he had become
suicidal and agreed to sign a "confession" admitting to war crimes.

In his 1999 autobiography, Faith of My Fathers, Mr McCain described how he had
been subjected to inhumane treatment in an effort to force him to disclose his
ship's name, squadron number and the target of his final mission.

But in his 1972 book The Vietnam Story, Soviet author Ivan Shchedrov reproduced
the following transcript of Mr McCain's interrogation.

He was asked for his name, rank and then for his opinion of Hanoi's air
defences. "As to the ground-to-air missiles," said the major, a son and grandson
of US admirals, "I think they are quite accurate and we often cannot evade them.
I had almost reached my target when I suddenly saw the missiles heading towards
me. Then there was a terrific blast. And now I'm a prisoner."

Vietnamese former nurse Nguyen Thi Thanh recalled this week how she had treated
Mr McCain after he had been shot down.

In an interview with the BBC, she said: "My responsibility was to care for my
own countrymen only.

"But Ho Chi Minh advised people to show compassion and to save the enemies. So I
told myself that I had to fulfil my duty.

"That evening, when I left the clinic, an old man came to me and yelled at me
for caring for an enemy. I told him I just did what Ho Chi Minh asked all of us
to do."

Asked if a McCain presidency would be good for Vietnam, Mrs Nguyen said: "He is
friendly and he has done some good things for the Vietnamese, but it is
difficult to predict the future."

As for Barack Obama, she said: "I don't think he has any ties with Vietnam. But
a clean slate can be a good thing.

"If American people are wise, they will choose someone who loves peace."
