Titolo: Socialism and Conspiracies (version 4)

I've just updated this document on my website (
www.stevewallis.org
),
which I originally wrote about two and a half years ago. It summarises
my views on socialism and conspiracies, which you will have got a
flavour of if you have read the most important web page you will ever
read (at 
www.stevewallis.org/important.htm
).
There has been a continuous conflict between classes in society for as
long as they have existed (ever since the classless hunter-gatherer
societies known by Marxists as ‘primitive communism'). The ruling class
has conspired to remain in power and the masses have conspired to
neutralise the conspiratorial organisations of the ruling class enabling
them to overthrow the ruling class and establish a fairer society.
As time has gone on, the form and sophistication of the conspiratorial
organisations have advanced, but I now believe that establishing
conspiratorial organisations is a rational response to the class
struggle so the conspiratorial organisations have existed in one form or
another for as long as the classes themselves have. In their simplest
form, the conspiracies are merely alliances between friends or relatives
pursuing a common cause, but the most powerful conspiratorial
organisations today use computer modelling to predict the future and
determine what needs to be done to advance the interests of the classes
the organisations represent.
The continuous struggle between opposing class interests does not just
go on between people; it actually goes on within an individual's mind to
try to get that individual to act in the interests of a particular
class. I used to think that people could be neatly divided into those
acting in the interests of big business or the working class, but I now
realise that society is far more complex – people acting in the
interests of big business at one moment in time can act in the interests
of the working class at another moment in time.
After the Russian Revolution in October 1917, 18 countries sent their
armies to Russia to try to crush that revolution and failed. So the
ruling class (big business) were naturally very frightened about the
possibility of the revolution spreading. If you can't crush them from
the outside then you have to resort to crushing them from the inside.
Infiltration is occasionally recorded in the history books. It is fairly
well known that the leader of the Bolsheviks (who later became the
‘Communist Party') in the Duma (Russian parliament) was a police spy.
So what would the rational response of the ruling class in Britain be to
the Russian Revolution? Well, they obviously wouldn't want the fledgling
Communist Party of Great Britain (CPGB) to get off the ground. And when
it did, they'd want it to hold workers back rather than letting it lead
workers to a successful revolution. And it is well known that it did
hold workers back, most spectacularly and disastrously in the General
Strike. The usual Marxist explanation for the failures of the Communist
parties in the West is to blame inexperience and the influence of Stalin
(who was afraid of losing his own power if a genuine revolution were to
take place elsewhere). However, why would the international ruling class
(i.e. big business) be so naïve as to rely on such factors when they can
utilise the strategy of long-term infiltration to try to ensure that the
Communist Parties betray the workers they purport to represent? They
would have had the opportunity to ensure that most of the trade union
leaders in the CPGB at the time of the General Strike were state agents
or heavily influenced by them.
It is only to be expected that the state would particularly target the
largest socialist/communist party in the country. The largest such party
was the CPGB for many years but it is now the Socialist Workers Party
(SWP). Most genuine socialists who want to fight for a better society
join the party that seems most serious and this is usually the biggest.
The party for which commentators have recognised the greatest extent of
state infiltration is the US SWP (no relation to the SWP in Britain) –
the infiltration by the US state was revealed in a court case, which the
SWP won, and I believe that that infiltration was a major reason why
that party collapsed to the pathetic party it is today (of maybe a few
hundred in the whole of the USA). There have also been allegations
(including in a book by the journalist Stephen Dorril) of state
infiltration playing a significant role in the collapse of the Workers'
Revolutionary Party (WRP) in Britain.
By far the most influential socialist organisation in Britain in recent
years has been the Militant Tendency. It had three Labour MPs, led the
Liverpool council struggle (which inflicted the first defeat on Thatcher
in winning extra money for the city, but was ultimately defeated due to
the betrayals of councillors elsewhere) and led the poll tax non-payment
campaign which defeated the tax and led to the fall of Thatcher. If the
state was not already significantly targeting Militant beforehand then
it certainly would have started to in the mid-1980s. Militant made some
bad mistakes, which were sometimes (at least) largely caused by state
infiltration, and were very costly in terms of recruitment. However, the
biggest factor in the decline in membership (from about 8000 at its
height to about 400 at the time I left) was the collapse of Stalinism
and the capitalist triumphalism which resulted.
There remains the question of what the state did as Militant declined in
size. Did it withdraw most of its agents and allow the organisation to
regain its strength? That would be extremely foolish! No, I suspect that
most stayed in and are now a strong force in what is now the Socialist
Party. This, I think, explains the fairly recent sectarian behaviour of
the Socialist Party (such as pulling out of the socialist alliances and
generally preferring to conduct its own campaigns rather than uniting
with other left-wing activists).
In an earlier version of this document, I expressed the view that moves
away from sectarianism by the SWP (such as getting involved in the
Scottish Socialist Party, socialist alliances in England and Wales, and
taking campaigns involving other left-wing activists more seriously)
were a result of the balance of class forces changing within the SWP. I
now think that this move away from sectarianism was a cynical move by
the SWP leadership who are composed entirely of big business
infiltrators – the main evidence for this viewpoint is the fact that the
SWP have transformed the socialist alliances in most areas into
reformist electoral fronts for their own party. I have also had the
opportunity to study the Socialist Worker platform of the Scottish
Socialist Party firsthand at the party's 2003 conference, and the
ridiculous positions of that platform indicate that they have not
changed for the better due to uniting with the rest of the left in the
same party.
So how do the conspiracies work? Well, everybody builds models, to
varying levels of detail, of other people's minds inside their own
minds. This is necessary in order to conduct a meaningful conversation,
never mind doing something to change the world for the better! We also
build models of organisations and parts of organisations to enable us to
deal with them in our everyday lives.
The brain is partly motivated by the desire to promote a certain kind of
world – and there are two clear choices in the world today, a capitalist
world of wars, poverty, famines, unemployment, environmental destruction
(etc.) or a socialist world which will solve these problems – and partly
motivated by concern for individuals who the person cares about. Some
people are more clearly on one side (the working class or big business)
than others, but they are all acting to promote the interests of
socialism or capitalism even if they are not aware of it with their
conscious minds. We cooperate with those who we think are on the same
side, compete with those who we think are on a different side, and are
cautious while waiting further input with those who we're not sure
about. Some of us (including myself) act alone on this basis, others
form together in small groups, and still others join larger groups with
some sort of organisational structure. The larger groups are generally
most powerful but they are also most prone to infiltration by people
with different agendas.
Some groups rely entirely on the combined effect of the models in their
own minds to model other people and organisations and to develop
strategies and tactics based on these models. However anything a brain
can do, a computer can do, so it is only rational for the most powerful
groups to utilise fast powerful computers to help in their modelling.
Computer languages like SDML, which I developed over a period of about
eight years (see 
http://sdml.cfpm.org
), can be used for this task. In
fact, I strongly suspect that SDML is the primary computer modelling
language used by conspiratorial organisations today.
There is probably one dominant group on every side at any particular
moment in time, which has a strategy about how that side can achieve its
aims. Other groups on the same side will generally go along with this
strategy although sometimes in-fighting takes place that may result in
some other group becoming dominant. The dominant group on each side is
almost certainly not the obvious one – such as MI5 in the case of the
ruling class – a much more secret multinational organisation is more
likely.
Marxists recognise that there are two key sides in society – the working
class and the ruling class (big business) but there are also vested
interests which may have conspiratorial organisations of their own such
as Liberal Democrats, fascists, Scientologists, Jehovah's Witnesses, the
Catholic Church and Islamic fundamentalism. Since the ruling class is
the dominant class, the other vested interests are largely being
manipulated by that class, but they can be manipulated by the working
class or smashed as the balance of class forces changes.
Some of those vested interests indulge in infiltration themselves. For
example, the fascist organisation the National Revolutionary Faction
have on their website
(
http://www.nationalbolshevik.com/nrf/nrfadviceforcadres.html
) advice
for their cadres who are infiltrating socialist organisations and other
organisations in society such as the National Health Service and the
police.
I think I first became aware that big conspiracies were going on
involving state infiltration when I read the Morning Star (the daily
paper that was then the organ of the CPGB) regularly as a child. Why was
the paper of a ‘revolutionary' party so bad? I remember at one point
wondering what I could do to make the world a better place and writing
some suggestions down. I don't know what happened to that book of paper
– I probably threw it away realising that keeping it could be dangerous.
However, from that point on (if not before), I believe my subconscious
has been working on the problem.
I didn't significantly get involved in politics until 1989, when the
anti-poll tax movement was getting started in Manchester. I could tell
that this campaign had great potential to make a difference. However, I
didn't join Militant until the 6th of June, 1990. I went on the People's
March Against the Poll Tax from Liverpool to London later that year but
was fairly low profile in most of my time in Militant/Militant
Labour/the Socialist Party. I did however do quite a lot of work on the
internet, putting forward socialist views on various newsgroups and
setting up a mailing list for the CWI (the international organisation
that Militant/the Socialist Party is affiliated to). I also had the CWI
website on my work computer for a couple of years or so. However, it
wasn't until 1998 that I attained any significant positions outside
cyberspace, getting on the Steering Committee of the Greater Manchester
Socialist Alliance and the Regional Committee of the Socialist Party. I
think not becoming too prominent too soon helped me avoid too much state
interference too soon in my political ‘career'.
It was at the 1998 European School of the CWI in Leuven, Belgium, that I
first became a significant threat to the ruling class. There was a big
debate between the leadership of the Scottish comrades (then called
Scottish Militant Labour) and the British/International leaderships. The
Scottish comrades were proposing the setting up of the Scottish
Socialist Party which they would become a faction of (called a
‘platform'). This was opposed by the British and International
leaderships, and they had convinced the other sections of the CWI except
for France to go along with their opposition. I was the only comrade
from England or Wales to speak in the debate in favour of the Scots. As
a result I came under quite a lot of pressure not to speak in the debate
and I was moved later in the schedule until finally being slotted in
first thing in the morning before most of the comrades had arrived. I
reordered my speech to move what I thought were the most important bits
to the end, but the Chair cut me off and took the microphone off me just
before I could make those points. I ended up storming off the platform!
Others had been allowed to massively overrun their allocated time but
not me!
I spent much of that week discussing with comrades from around the world
trying to convince them of the Scottish case and I was fairly
successful. I went round them again after my speech in a damage
limitation exercise reassuring them that I hadn't gone mad, but that I
hadn't slept the night before my speech and that as a fairly
inexperienced comrade the pressure got to me. It seemed to work!
The conclusions I finally came to with my conscious mind, about state
infiltration of socialist organisations, arose as a result of that week
in Belgium. This was supposed to be a gathering of 200 of the best
revolutionaries on the planet and at times most of them behaved like
sheep. There were clearly some processes going on below the surface that
could only be explained by infiltration.
After coming to these conclusions, I thought of setting up a
counter-network to act against the state infiltrators. This is the only
rational course of action apart from giving up. Therefore it is not
surprising that such networks already exist! The ruling class
infiltrates our organisations so we have to infiltrate their
organisations – and our own to defeat the enemy within.
Of course infiltration is not limited to socialist organisations and the
‘security services'. Campaigning organisations, the NHS, the police, the
internet, companies, trade unions, etc., are also infiltrated. I hope
that the US military is sufficiently infiltrated so that if George W
Bush gets trigger-happy and presses the nuclear button nothing will
happen. This is not a game – socialism or nuclear annihilation is the
future of the human race.
But there are reasons to be cheerful. The Scottish Socialist Party had
six members elected to the Scottish Parliament in the elections on May
Day 2003 (partly due to my intervention in Glasgow). The SSP is
strongest in Glasgow, where it received over 15% of the vote and had two
members elected (Tommy Sheridan and Rosie Kane). I now realise that it
is essential for me to move up to Glasgow in order to influence events
much more than I can from down here in Manchester (but I will continue
spending some time in Manchester since it is another important city –
socialism has to spread throughout Britain and the world). I am
confident that the SSP can come to power in Scotland in the four years
to the next Scottish parliamentary elections if not before. A socialist
independent Scotland will be a tremendous beacon for the working class
and promote revolutionary upheavals across the world.

Steve!!  You're alive.  Did they let you out, or did you escape from the psyche ward again?

 Steve!!  You're alive.  Did they let you out, or did you escape from the psyche ward again?
I'm using my laptop and mobile phone at the moment, and I'm promised a
small amount of unescorted leave from Monday. I've had to rely on
escorted leave recently.
Some details of my current incarceration are on my socialist home page
(
www.stevewallis.org
) - the contents of which are included below.
Access to my laptop was removed for a few weeks, due to putting
explosive stuff about the NHS Trust that is incarcerating me on my
website. I was forced to modify the most important web page you will
ever read in order to gain access again. I will now be updating this
website regularly. Stay tuned for further developments…
 
 
I have recently modified my most important page, which I have called
"The most important web page you will ever read". Find out about my
torture by Glasgow police, corruption in the police force and NHS,
assassinations, robots and the Scottish Socialist Party's brilliant
performance in the elections to the Scottish parliament. It's serious
stuff, and if you are at all genuine, then you'll be dying to read it!
Click here to read the most important web page you will ever read!
 
 
The first document I put on my website was entitled "Socialism and
Conspiracies", which I wrote about two and a half years ago. It
summarises my views on the big conspiracies in society which keep this
iniquitous capitalist system in place and my ideas on how these
conspiracies can be overcome to enable a world socialist revolution to
take place. I have now updated this document to take into account
changes in my thinking about these conspiracies. To view the modified
document, click here.
 
 
BRILLIANT SOCIALIST MUSIC – I have recently made some big changes to
my list of favourite songs of all time. You can massively influence
people (for good or bad) via music, so it is really important to point
out songs which have had a positive influence in my life. To view my
list, click here.
 
 
DEMAND DEMOCRACY IN IRAQ – Saddam Hussein and his Ba'athist regime
have lost power, but the US and British occupation will not lead to
democracy unless there are mass movements of the Iraqi people. For
more details, visit my new page for democracy in Iraq. I have set up
the 'iraq-democracy' mailing list to support the struggle for
democracy in Iraq, including opposition to the occupation.

LATEST NEWS ABOUT MY SITUATION – Anybody who has read this web page in
the last few months will be aware that I was arrested twice on the
weekend of Saturday the 25th and Sunday the 26th of January for
distributing subversive material (attacking corruption in the police
force and Royal Mail, as well as putting forward socialist views on
issues such as the war for oil against the people of Iraq). You will
also be aware that I am incarcerated as a political prisoner at
Manchester Royal Infirmary. I went AWOL up to Glasgow to help the
Scottish Socialist Party gain six seats in the elections for the
Scottish parliament on May Day. After three days on the loose, I was
captured and tortured by Glasgow police, and taken to Gartnavel Royal
Hospital in Glasgow. I was returned to Manchester two weeks after I
left. I was then transferred to a different ward (Brook Ward, also at
the Edale Unit). For more information about the circumstances that led
to my incarceration, visit my page on the socialist revolution and the
police state.
 
MY CAMPAIGN FOR MORE VEGETARIAN OPTIONS – I started a campaign about
three months ago for more vegetarian options at the hospital where I
am incarcerated. For information about the campaign, click here.
 
LAUNCH OF MANCHESTER INTERNATIONAL SOCIALIST MOVEMENT – I have now set
up Manchester International Socialist Movement as an informal
organisation based on the internet. If you agree with (most of) the
politics of the International Socialist Movement, you are encouraged
to join the Manchester ISM's discussion list on the internet. To join
the list or for more information, visit the home page of Manchester
ISM.
 
A SOCIALIST CAMPAIGN ON CRIME – I started a campaign against ID fraud
shortly before my incarceration, due to the persistent habits of my
postman putting letters hanging out of my letterbox – a massive
invitation to criminals if ever there was one! Yet Royal Mail and the
police are utterly corrupt as they demonstrated by refusing to do
anything meaningful about it when I pointed it out to them. I believe
that this is not an isolated situation and that it is happening in
many other parts of Britain (especially since a programme in January
on national TV showed how easily ID fraud can be done if you get
access to someone's mail) and maybe the rest of the world. If you want
to know more information about my ID fraud campaign, click here.
 
OPPOSING ID CARDS – ID cards are not intended to solve crime, but to
increase the surveillance of socialists and other left-wing activists.
After quite a long struggle, I got my local Socialist Alliance to
adopt a radical position of opposition to ID cards, which should now
be adopted by the Socialist Alliance nationally. To see a model
resolution, similar to the one that was passed by South Manchester
Socialist Alliance, click here.
 
SOCIALIST MAILING LISTS – I have made a lot of enemies on the
internet, but there are now four mailing lists that you can subscribe
to, in order to receive fairly frequent emails from me, unscuppered by
a 'moderator'. For more information, click here.
 
SOCIALIST WORKERS PARTY (SWP) MEMBERS ARE BIG BUSINESS INFILTRATORS –
I am involved in the Socialist Alliance, which should be moving
towards a party like the Scottish Socialist Party (SSP). However, the
Socialist Alliance in most areas has been utterly wrecked by the SWP
who want it to be a reformist electoral front for their own
organisation, rather than a lively party dedicated to the overthrow of
this iniquitous capitalist system. As a result, the Socialist Alliance
only has a single councillor (in Preston, in an area where there were
already three Independent Labour councillors), which is pathetic in
comparison with the SSP's six members of the Scottish parliament. My
message on overthrowing SWP bureaucrats in the Socialist Alliance
illustrates how the SWP operates. It is clear that they are not
incompetent, but conscious infiltrators on the side of big business. I
witnessed the Socialist Worker platform of the SSP in practice at the
SSP's conference in March, and it is clear that that platform is just
as bad as its sister organisation in the rest of Britain. I am now of
the opinion that rank-and-file trade unionists need to struggle within
the trade unions for them to set up a new mass workers' party (as
advocated by my former organisation, the Socialist Party, that
unfortunately abandoned the Socialist Alliance a couple of years ago
letting the SWP wreck it). The SWP need to be combated politically and
defeated, as they were at that SSP conference but as unfortunately
rarely happens in the Socialist Alliance. The SWP's control of the
Stop the War Coalition ensured that the Coalition rarely pointed out
that the war was for oil and never said that ordinary people in Iraq
should rise up and overthrow Saddam Hussein. Therefore, the anti-war
movement appeared to many to be appeasing Saddam Hussein's vicious
dictatorship, and Tony Blair was able to gain the moral high ground in
the media for the war. The most vicious infiltrator of big business is
an SWP member in London called Sean Wallis, who happens to be my
brother; he was persuaded (i.e. not elected) to maintain the national
website for the Stop the War Coalition (
www.stopwar.org.uk
).
 
 
I am a revolutionary socialist (a Marxist heavily influenced by
anarchism), fighting for a world free from poverty, unemployment,
homelessness, war and environmental destruction.
I am a member of the South Manchester Socialist Alliance. I am also
the Convenor of Manchester International Socialist Movement. The
International Socialist Movement is the leading ‘platform' of the
Scottish Socialist Party.
I am also a computer programmer, and I have developed a modelling
language called SDML, which may be of use to other socialist
programmers (especially those who know Prolog). As I explain in my
"Socialism and Conspiracies" document, I believe that this language is
being used by conspiratorial organisations to model the world in order
to predict and influence the future. If you want to try SDML out, I
recommend that you allocate about five consecutive days to work
through the tutorial.
I am publishing my autobiography, entitled 'Transition', one chapter
at a time. If you want to read what I have written so far, click here.
Two games designed and implemented by myself and my brother are
available for free downloading on Windows platforms. For more

 escorted leave recently.
I didn't get it! I had to resort to going AWOL. See the message below...
Hi all,
I went AWOL yesterday (Friday) from the psychiatric ward where I was 
incarcerated as a political prisoner. I was left with no option, 
since my psychiatrist (a man called Dr Hussain) would not give me any 
unescorted leave unless I agreed to go back on a "mood stabiliser" 
called Depakote. Depakote made it impossible to concentrate on 
anything for any significant period of time - I would often talk to a 
nurse trying to make some point and other thoughts would come 
flooding into my head to stop me from making the point fully.
I left via a fire exit at about 11.25am - my preferred way of going 
AWOL - and out-sprinted staff despite the fact that I had a small 
rucksack on my back taking my most important possessions (except for 
my laptop which is currently with Sony being mended - I got some 
water on it, which turns out to be fortunate since the only way of 
getting it up to Glasgow is to get Sony to send it to me when it is 
mended).
I am going flat-hunting tomorrow, since I was advised by a nurse 
(after I mentioned to another nurse who I got on well with that I was 
planning to go AWOL; I couldn't keep it secret anyway - the pressure 
was too great and it must have been obvious from the way I was acting 
that I had "itchy feet") that I had to get a flat in Glasgow if I 
wanted to persuade the mental health authorities that I am now living 
here. If I am recaptured, which may well happen at some point 
although I'd like to think that the forces of the working class have 
sufficiently infiltrated the Glasgow police force to ensure that they 
would not recapture me simply if they find out where I live but that 
they would have to find me acting in a bizarre/revolutionary manner. 
I am not going to keep my head down in Glasgow, but I will work with 
other members of the Scottish Socialist Party on campaigns rather 
than do things on my own. This will make it harder for them to claim 
that I am acting in a way that indicates that I have a psychiatric 
illness. When I was captured in Januwary it was for handing out a 
political leaflet on my own - this was claimed by my then 
psychiatrist Judy Harrison to be a solo political protest!
I have moved to Glasgow because it is the strongest place for 
revolutionary socialism in the world - the Scottish Socialist Party 
got over 15% of the vote in the Scottish parliamentary elections 
(partly due to me going AWOL to help them) and has two Members of the 
Scottish Parliament - Rosie Kane (who is very good politically) and 
Tommy Sheridan (who has reformist politics but I think is playing a 
useful role of pretending to believe them in order to expose how bad 
they are). Rosie will be in my branch (Pollokshaws Road) and I'll 
attend my first meeting of that branch on Tuesday evening (7.30pm, 
Langside Halls, in the park at the middle of the road).
One of my plans in Glasgow is to help set up a branch of the 
Independent Manchester United Supporters Association - an 
organisation which defeated Rupert Murdoch's attempt to take over the 
club. I am thinking of producing a leaflet to hand out at Celtic and 
Rangers matches to help cut across sectarianism by uniting Celtic and 
Rangers fans who are also fans of Manchester United. I think the best 
thing to do is to set up a Glasgow IMUSA mailing list first, then 
organise a meeting when there are enough people who are interested. 
I'll raise my ideas on this at Tuesday's SSP branch meeting.
One of the ways in which you can influence people is via music, and I 
did some karaoke last night. I sang Jerry Lee Lewis' "Great Balls of 
Fire", Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody", Labi Siffre's "Something Inside 
So Strong" and Bryan Adams' "Summer of '69" before finally doing a 
duet on anarchist band Chumbawamba's "Tubthumping" (which was used at 
a Scottish Socialist Alliance election campaign I believe - the SSA 
is the forerunner of the SSP). On the way to my hotel, I came across 
another pub doing karaoke and did "Bohemian Rhapsody" and "Great 
Balls of Fire" again before my piece-de-resistance - Nena's "99 Red 
Balloons". There was time for a bit of speaking into the microphone 
before the song came on so I explained that I had come up to Glasgow 
to help the Scottish Socialist Party and that it campaigns against 
wars, that the war against Iraq was for oil and will not bring 
democracy and that it was fitting for me to sing the best anti-war 
song of all time. I sang "99 Red Balloons" (badly) during the SSP 
election campaign - but I have now realised how to sing it, in 
a "male" way rather than trying to hit the notes that Nena does and 
that I don't think I am capable of hitting. I like to think that I 
could sing in tune when I am completely free of medication (I still 
have an injection of "Depixol" from a week ago in my system but it is 
not affecting me much) but I have found ways of singing that mean 
that it does not matter if you hit the right notes. "Great Balls of 
Fire" is my karaoke speciality and I belt it out (I have found it 
impossible to sing well in my psychiatric ward room - there needs to 
be at least one good looking woman in the room for me to be inspired 
enough to do a good version of it!) I hope to learn how to play it on 
keyboards and you never know - I could be playing at SSP socials!
Anyway, that's enough for now. I'll send further emails from time to 
time to update you all on my time in Glasgow...
Revolutionary greetings,
Steve.
