Summer Offensive 
Shortcomings
“Informative and provocative as usual”
is how TJ describes last week’s Weekly Worker. “I can almost
forgive you for your carping attacks on the rest of the left.”
And to show that absolution has been granted, he encloses a cheque
for £15.
It’s good to know that we’re appreciated,
for all the criticisms you have, comrade. I can assure you, though,
that our polemics are far from “carping”. As we say every week,
“Our central aim is the organisation of communists, revolutionary
socialists, anti-capitalists and all politically advanced workers
into a Communist Party” (‘What we fight for’). Through exposing
shortcomings - not least the failure to grasp the necessity of
that “central aim” - we strive to make it a reality.
Comrade TJ’s donation demonstrates that
he is at least on the way to learning this lesson - our paper’s
fight for left unity is concrete and we need hard cash to back
it up. So we are grateful too to RH who sent £5, FD, BH and PL,
who all sent in £10, and DS, who contributed £20. Thanks to all
of them, our February fund finished on £514.
Going into March, and another £500 target,
I wonder how many of our web readers will help us out. Last week
8,100 read us online, but no-one took advantage of our PayPal
facility to send us a donation. Another shortcoming to be overcome!.
