SWP document missing, presumed dead
A reliable source informs me that the SWP launched a ten point 'People Before Profit' charter at this year's Marxism. I can find no trace of it on the internet. Does anyone have a copy of this mysterious document?

Keep the members busy whilst the leadership desperately look for a project.
Not dead yet it seems...

Looks quite similar to the 'Action Programme' from 1998, which was pushed heavily by the leadership for about six months, then dropped and never mentioned again.
Except its less radical than that was if I recall correctly...
I've finally read it. It's pretty terrible, very weak, very reformist...
I've seen the Daily Mirror articles to the left of that crap :/
it seems to me like this is just another of the 'broad' intiatives the swp likes where it really consists of mostly just them pushing something relatively crap.
I saw it at 'Marxism'. Wasn't exactly universally popular.
Mind you, there was plenty of people spouting the usual- 'lets unite around this at least for now, we can build on it later'.
Never occured to them that it might make a bit more sense to try and build some longer lasting unity- i.e. around a principled, revolutionary marxist programme, (you know, actually being honest about your politics and what you think is needed) not this twaddle.
Oh well...
"twaddle". Cute!
