This evening I got into an argument with some anarcho-syndicalists ,as you do.

[crazy canuck]

WCC, CHP, COR, WIP, WBP, SPA, WIPS - what are those.

As for Social Credit - they were, in the BC experience, the coalition party - hardly a splinter.  Reform was a true splinter and I will never forgive you for giving us all those years of Liberal rule.

Western Canada Concept
Christian Heritage Party
Confederation of Regions
Western Independence Party
Western Block Party
Separatist Party of Alberta
Western Independence Party of Saskatchewan (apparently a different one)

And SoCred shambles on in Alberta as yet another fringe right-wing party.  294 people voted SoCred yesterday. :Alberta:

But those arent really what Mongers and I are talking about.  Those are simply fringe parties.  What Mongers is talking about are people that belonged to the same party, didnt like how the other person wore his lapel pin and started another party that had essentially the same platform, with the exception of how one wears their lapel pin.

ie - to the outside observer their differences are hard to understand or even identify. Which is what makes that Monty Python bit so great -  they get mixed up about who is who.

College students. Doesn't matter what the topic is.

I once got told by some Antioch college students that I'd be first against the wall when the revolution comes. Srsly.

Sadly, they probably didn't even know it was a literary reference.

The Vagina wall?

Seems the Social Part of Great Britain is in dispute with some johnny come latelys::

The SPGB is vehemently anti-Leninist and currently fights to protect its identity against Socialist Party of England and Wales, the relatively new name of the Trotskyist former Militant tendency (in propaganda and publicity material the SPGB often styles itself simply The Socialist Party whilst SPEW uses Socialist Party (without the definite article) and contests elections as Socialist Alternative

Handy for us outside observers that we can tell them appart because one own 'The'. 

[Razgovory]

I won't bore you with the details, but I was fascinated to find another group with such an ossified, internally complex, version of what has happened, why stuff they wanted didn't happen and why it will all happen eventually anyway.  History to them seems to be some elaborate construct that proves their position today, rather than say something uncertain and up for debate, analysis or discussion. 

Sounds a little like Viking.

To be fair many of us on languish have our own 'pet' theories, some several more than others. 

Oh I forgot to say, at one point, the main anarcho guy started drawing is own ven diagram of how the world/20th century history fits into his idealogical view of the world.
Weirdly he had no idea that many people weren't interested or were finding it somewhat tedious.

SPEW is a great acronym for a Trotskyist group.

Do you think they're wrong, Mr. Vineyard and French villa owner? 

I was 21 and working in the K-mart electronics department at the time.

Why the hate?  At least they're not Republicans!

They may still be.  I seem to recall that the neocon movement had some Troskyist influence...

[derspiess]

Lol, Zenith was the only brand of TV my granddad would buy.
