Subject: AUT: Introduction


I have been subscribed to this list for a few weeks now but I have not previously contributed.  I guess its time I did.

I am a London based communist.  Most of my practical activity is based around the "anti-capitalist" movement, which means working with people with different perspectives, particularly anarchists.  I try to do so in a non-sectarian manner whilst retaining a critique of anarchism.  I guess this is my main field of interest at present.  I also belong to a small local class struggle group and attend a reading group.

In reading the discussions on this list I have encountered a number of difficulties.  One is the sheer volume of contributions.  I realise that Genoa was an exceptional event, but this was the case before Genoa and continues.  In the last 24 hours I have had 28 e-mails.  I do not have time to read them all, let alone contribute.  A second related problem is that some people seem not to change the subject line and therefore it bears little resemblance to the actual content.  I know other people have stopped subscribing for these reasons.

Moan over - many contributions are useful and thought provoking and hopefully I'll be able to engage with the discussions.
