Subject: AUT: Wildcat, Workers Voice and other pamphlets


I've just scanned two old Wildcat pamphlets and put them on to our
web-site.  They are:

Capitalism and Its Revolutionary Destruction.  This was the Wildcat group's
basic statement.  It made good reading then and still is today.  The only
real issue we have with it is the implication of capitalism as having an
ascendant and decadent phase in the same way as the ICC et al go on about.
Subversion's view is that the only decadence we're interested in is sitting
on a beach with a glass of champagne!

How Socialist is the Socialist Workers Party.  Written in 1985, just after
the miners' strike.  It takes the SWP apart using quotes from their rag
Socialist Worker.  

I've also scanned an even older text:

Communism or Reforms.  Produced by Workers Voice (from Liverpool, not the
current CWO group), sometime around 1974.  Two articles from the Workers
Dreadnought in 1922, by Sylvia Pankhurst and Anton Pannekoek. An analysis
of the programme of the Communist Party of Ireland.  With an introduction
by the WV group containing information about the Cork and Limerick Soviets.  

And finally:

A Day in the Life of the Car.  Originally published in 1989 by "year minus
one press".  "24 Damning Facts about the Car".  A communist and green
critique of capitalism's dependency on the car and the car culture.
Written by the same comrade who wrote the "Letter from Hastings" in
Subversion #22.
An absolute must.
