I actually quite enjoy keeping track of the various splits, factions and paranoid delusions of the far left, it’s like my own version of soap opera. Do the spartacists exist in oz? god I…

Aw yeah the German Spartacists League were undoubtedly good guys, Rosa Luxemburg and all that, no the Sparts in Britain today are tinfoil hat mentalists that broke from the SWP back in 1964 and go on about noble stuff like how it’s reactionary to oppose child molestation, or North Korea’s right to have nuclear weapons. They’re masters of punchy slogans like this:

Their stuff makes riveting reading, check this out

How can you not love a piece entitled:

“Statement of the International Executive Committee of the International Communist League (Fourth Internationalist) Repudiating Our Position on Haiti Earthquake”

Brilliant. I did a google search and they do exist in Australia, here they are encouraging us to “defend China”. Enjoy!

Brings back memories of an amusing old song poking fun of the Sparts:

“Spartacists Are Coming To Town”
(To the tune of “Santa Claus is Coming to Town”)

(Chorus)
You better be pure You better think right
You’re in trouble
If you’re not Trotskyite
Sparticists are coming to town

They’re checking you out
Making a list
Going to find every revisionist
The Sparticists are coming to town

They jeer you at your meetings
Their questions last an hour
You’re holding back the working class
Who’re about to seize state power

(Chorus)

They support martial law in Poland
They think that it is great
That the army keeps Poland
A degenerate workers’ state

(Chorus)

They go to demonstrations
They sometimes break a head
They’re trying to prove to you
That you’re better red than dead

(Chorus)

They come up with great chants
They always get a roar
Like “The Defense of the Soviet Union
Starts in Cuba and El Salvador!”
