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.
The Principles of Socialism (16 April 1976)
How Can a Real Revolution Be Achieved?Debate between Dick Donnelly, SPGB, and Albert Meltzer, 'Black Flag' (anarchist) (12 February 1987)
Why Is Socialism Still Relevant (12 June 2004)
