	In Defence of the Truth - reply to John Rees of the SWP (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Rees is at pains to blame the authoritarian policies of the Bolsheviks on what he calls "the weight of objective factors" facing the Bolsheviks, by which he means the combined impact of events the Bolsheviks could not control (namely economic disruption, civil war and so on).
		Rees argues that it "is a tribute to the power of the Bolsheviks' politics and organisation that they took the measures necessary." Let us consider these measures, the politics Rees claims had no effect on the outcome of the revolution.
		Rees comments indicate that he is not familiar with the make-up of the soviets, which allowed various parties to acquire voting representation in the soviet executive committees (and so were not directly elected by the producers).

		John Rees continues by arguing that: "As it became clear that the revolt was isolated Petrichenko was forced to come to terms with the reality of the balance of class forces.
		Rees notes that one of the leaders of the rebellion, Petrichenko, "got in touch with Wrangel" in exile and "joined forces" with him.
		Rees comments that the "balance of class forces had finally brought ideology and reality into alignment." It seems incredible that a self- proclaimed socialist could base his case on the activities of just one individual, but for all his talk of "class forces," Rees seems happy to do just that.

		John Pilger was the next to speak and gave a long and largely interesting talk about the hypocrisy and lies behind the war in Iraq.
		The most interesting speaker was John Rees, who, as Respect national secretary, set out his “strategy for the way forward”.
		Rees stressed the need to “build an alternative for working people” - “and we could do no worse than to raise the hopes of working people and then let them down because we could not fulfil our promises”.

		Politicians from all the major parties have declared open season for all who want to blame Muslims for the problems in Britain and to blame the victims of racism for the racism in society.
		It seems as though Labour ministers want to break down the unity ordinary people forged in the anti-war movement bit by bit, and wont be happy until they prove the problem lies not with their atrocities but with Muslims.

	Oliver Kamm: April 2005
		Politicians and others who write for the press often get accused of not knowing the first thing about the subject on which they write, but Mrs King is an unusual case where the charge is literally and not merely hyperbolically true.
		It is a shame, and a dispiriting reflection on the governments of the US and UK, that the urgent and compelling case for overthrowing Saddam Hussein by force was largely left to writers such as Shawcross and Christopher Hitchens to argue.
		I am glad that that there is a coincidence of approach between a left-of-centre government in the UK and a Republican administration in the US, and unlike its critics consider that this rests on something greater than the personal relations of the political leaders concerned.

		This group was known as the "philosophic radicals," for they demanded that the practices of their society, particularly the political system, be rationally justified.
		Jack Lively and John Rees have edited a collection, Utilitarian Logic and Politics, which includes Mill's “Essay on Government” and much of the critical discussion it generated at the time (including Macaulay's attack on it).
		Accordingly, Bentham and Mill hold that the function of government is to organize society in such a way as to maximize the sum total of want-satisfaction or utility accruing to its members, and Hobbes’s view is similar.

		Painting the anti-war movement as heir in a long line of "great mass movements", Rees issued a stark warning to the Blair government: "You depend on the trade union movement in this country for 70 per cent of the funding of every general election you stand in," he said.

		Not unexpectedly, at Respect’s September 10 national council meeting, the SWP’s John Rees argued in favour of supporting the Blair government’s proposed laws on incitement to religious hatred.
		The one small caveat for ISGers appeared to be the failure to progress the conference decision from 2004 that (in principle, at least) Respect should have a regular newspaper.
		Under the leadership of John Rees - a man increasingly characterised by an unseemly appetite for mainstream bourgeois politics, it seems - this group is moving to the right at a breathtaking rate of knots.

		A related fact is that on some social questions--'family' issues, immigration, race, law and order--Labour leaders stand closer to the consciousness of the mass of workers.
		And at times various politicians, both Tory and Labour, have attempted to mobilise popular opinion on these issues to re-establish their support.
		They are likely to share many of the sentiments of more openly committed anti-capitalist activists, including a commitment to active campaigning, but they will not necessarily see the working class as the key agent of social change.
