Dick Talking Socialism

Sadly, the Socialist Courier blog has to inform its visitors that Richard "Dick" Donnelly has died. He had been a member of Glasgow branch of the Socialist Party since the mid-1950s and was a regular outdoor and indoor speaker, a writer for the Socialist Standard and frequently a contributor to this blog. Dick would probably be the first to tell comrades, "Don't Mourn - Organise!"

The Socialist Party website has a few recordings of Dick that are well worth listening to.
