Elections

[workerscommunes]

Some interesting points W&T. I won't attempt to deal with your points blow by blow (that arguably belongs on another thread) however I must just reinstate two things:

1) I have never called you a fascist or a Stalinist as I have no reason to think that is the case and I respect your questioning of certain aspects of anarchism. As an anti-state socialist though, I would prefer a delegate who is similarily anti-state.

2) For the final time, I do not attempt to stand for delegacy or take part in any election. Shedding my endorsements would be as good as doing that.

Hardly. Shedding your endorsements would simply give someone else (hopefully not me!) the chance to take on the job of delegate. There's no reason why it should require you to take part in any election, unless you actually want the delegacy.

I think the delegacy should go to someone who wants it, and who can do it justice (which I couldn't, I don't have the time). Doing the position justice, in my view, would involve posting resolutions here for debate, and going through the list of proposed resolutions to identify any worth endorsing, as a bare minimum.
