The right to say what is

Communists have fiercely opposed the Scottish Socialist Party’s complete surrender to nationalism, writes Peter Manson. We are equally opposed to the SSP’s intolerance - shared with much of the left - of anything resembling sharply expressed pole

Communists and open polemic
In the context of the SSP and the censorship of unacceptable views Ian Mahoney contrasts the big brother approach of Eddie Truman with that of the CPGB with its Leninist tradition of polemical exchange

God's cold war warrior
Cameron Richards investigates the role that John Paul II played in the downfall of official communism

An autocratic reactionary
Communists must stand firm against right-wing moralism and support the right of human beings to make an informed choice at every stage of life, argues Eddie Ford

Ghosts of Labour past

The main aim of Respect’s general election campaign is getting George Galloway elected as MP for Bethnal Green and Bow, reports Anne Mc Shane

Wasted opportunity
George Galloway displayed his catholic credentials on the BBC’s Question time last week, when he firmly sided with the disgusting ‘right to life’ propaganda of the dead pope and George W Bush, says Tina Becker

In the lurch

We ended March’s fund with a deficit of £104 and desperately need to make good the shortfall in April. However, there’s not much sign of the post-Easter spurt I was hoping for, with this week’s mail bringing in just £65. Thanks go to BV (£25), CT (£20), DA and TY (£10 each).

But I was also pleased to receive a very generous standing order donation from comrade RW - in addition to forking out his £25 for another six months’ subscription, he has committed himself to £30 a quarter on top. Very much appreciated, comrade. Nevertheless, we need to go some to raise not only this month’s £500, but also the missing £104 from March. Once again, there were no web donors this week - despite a very healthy total of 13,780 online readers. Come on, comrades, don’t leave us in the lurch!

To help us get there I have set myself the target of persuading 10 readers to make a donation via the website before the end of the month. I am also aiming to pick up at least five new £10-a-month standing orders from comrades with just a little bit of cash to spare. Who’s first?

We particularly need standing orders to allow us to plan ahead in this fluid political situation. Click here to download an order form.
