THE HOPELESS AND THE REST OF US...
Why socialism has been reduced from a mass movement to a sect in little over twenty years, and why what little remains is apparently happy to line up facing entirely the wrong way is complex. The steady distancing from the class is possibly pivotal. Yet snobbism cannot in itself excuse the excess of stupidity the left call politics - Joe Reilly investigates

COUNTDOWN TO MAY 2002
If it is to credibly survive the council elections in less than eleven months time, the general election results 'ought to scotch once and for all the notion' that the LSA is set for some kind of 'breakthrough'.What is needed now, says G.

Red Action And The LSA
