If you have to work to live you are a worker you may not be a drone or a slave for anyone but the reality is that you are you dont get paid for the full fruits of your labour and the work you do creates profit for the boss's, this is teh basis of capiatlism i'm afraid. As for TUSC giving up and getting a poor vote i'm sorry but with 68 % of people not voting a vote for labour was hardly a endoresement of labour quite the contary labour got seats and votes but of those who voted was a tiny percent of people in this country. It was a anti tory vote not a vote for labour believe me. TUSC will carry on standing again and again and again as we have a alternative and labour will break its promises the spotlight is on them now to resist the cuts which they havent up to now, Last chance for them i feelmarkwrightukhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05441220724259593793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2204879926038431717.post-43624087849202585662012-05-07T14:45:37.286+01:002012-05-07T14:45:37.286+01:00TUSC failed.

The Greens got more votes and seats than you, and the Labour Party got their best results in some parts of the country since the 1990s<br /><br />Just give up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2204879926038431717.post-51807219845880844382012-05-07T09:21:59.396+01:002012-05-07T09:21:59.396+01:00"We must be standing shoulder to shoulder wit..."We must be standing shoulder to shoulder with workers in struggle be that on strikes on demonstrations and mass movements as the crisis in capitalism will deepen there is no doubt about that."<br /><br />I voted for the TUSC, but after reading that they only stand for workers (I'm not a worker-drone, etc), it'll be the last time I do!<br /><br />The work I do is NOT helping a slave-boss, it's for a better world for all (activism), while not helping the govt.

I couldnt make any sense of your points about tube strikes and teh USSR to be honest sorrymarkwrightukhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05441220724259593793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2204879926038431717.post-5124378566262733382012-05-06T16:37:09.441+01:002012-05-06T16:37:09.441+01:00I actually don't think you should 'build t...I actually don't think you should 'build the TUSC name'. The TUSC name is terrible and couldn't be more off-putting to voters. I can't think of many people who would vote for ideas England despises as a whole - trade unions (post-Winter of Discontent/recent tube strikes) and socialists (post-USSR). TUSC is a nice idea if it's aim is to push Labour left but to do that it needs to win over voters - and the party's name is very important to that. <br /><br />Don't think the word 'Coalition' goes down too well with many people at the moment either!Josiahhttp://marchthefury.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
