message: I'd suggest that the reference to a book of his poems published by "CWRW Press" should probably read "Cwrw Press" - 'Cwrw' is Welsh for 'beer'!

replies: text: Actually it is not misleading, please rad the material and you will see that this is the case, notwithstanding your comment about a "socialist regime". Whether the hope would/could ever have been achieved, that is an issue we will never know. Leutha (talk) 17:07, 6 September 2015 (UTC)

message: I am concerned that 'Anthony' is used as Stafford Beer's first name on Wikipedia. Indeed he was christened Anthony but he abandoned this name when he was about 16 and he never used it again. I have started seeing articles and references in books referring to Anthony Stafford Beer, clearly taking their lead from Wikipedia. Stafford would not have wanted this I'm sure. I was a close friend of his (and I've published two books on him) so I know what I'm talking about.

message: "Beer also was reported to have read and been influenced by Leon Trotsky's critique of the Soviet bureaucracy." Come on, you can't just leave us hanging like that. Someone add in what this critique was. LastDodo (talk) 15:25, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
