Dear readers;
The following is a message by Adam Ford: a regular reader of 'Left Focus'. Adam has written a sometimes-humorous, sometimes-serious piece on the culture of the Left. There are elements of his entry I disagree with. While I think that we need to go beyond impenetrable jargon to get new people into progressive politics, I don't think there's anything wrong with building a 'movement'. (you'll see the point of this when you read Adam's blog) Take the example of 'Get Up!' - and it's potential to mobilise for change. If I'm misinterpreting, Adam - you're welcome to correct me. :-) Other aspects of Adam's entry I agree with. For instance I feel too often on the Left participants are pressured to accept one doctrine or another - in entirety and without exception - or risk exclusion. To conclude, though - it's a good read... Readers are welcome to follow the link to Adam's blog - and to comment there. Commentary is welcome here also.
sincerely,
Tristan
Just letting you know I have my own blog. And I've got some hopefully feather-ruffling stuff up there now entitled "I heart Andrew Bolt - or, what's wrong with the Left - part one". Come have a look, and I'd be interested in constructive feedback.
