The BBC on us

 Tiny socialist party amasses £2.6m in reserves.

This is the title of a new article on the BBC NEWS website.   Such occurrences are very rare even during elections in which socialists campaign, leaving us to agree with Oscar Wilde when he stated ‘the only thing worse than being talked about is not being talked about’. 

You might be wondering how come a socialist party that wants to abolish money seems instead to be amassing it.   You may as well ask why, if we’re so concerned about the depredations of modern capitalist production, we don’t try to help by living in unheated caves and eating grass.

The article is wrong in one detail. Nobody in our Party pays ‘fees’, or any kind of compulsory dues. Members can choose to pay donations, the amount being up to them. Just like with all our tasks and activity, if you don’t want to, you don’t have to.

A bit different from most other organisations you know, we think you’ll agree.
