RE: [A-List] European Workers Party

["Mark Jones" <markjones011@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

William Morris would have liked our idea for a new Workers Party for the
whole of Europe (and Turkey too): for it will e a Europe of terrible poverty
and great inequality, and a Europe of bizarre and showy wealth as well
Morris said of socialism:

"I ask you to think with me that the worst which
can happen to us is to endure tamely the evils that we see; that no
trouble or turmoil is so bad as that; that the necessary destruction
which reconstruction bears with it must be taken calmly; that everywhere
-- in State, in Church, in the household -- we must be resolute to
endure no tyranny, accept no lie, quail before no fear, although they
may come before us disguised as piety, duty or affection, as useful
opportunity and good nature, as prudence or kindness. The world's
roughness, falseness and injustice will bring about its natural
consequences, and we and our lives are part of those consequences; but
since we inherit also the consequences of old resistance to those
curses, let us each look to it to have our fair share of that
inheritance also, which if nothing else come of it, will at least bring
to us courage and hope...'
