[Introduction]
[unclear: t] does not matter much if a person [unclear: uces] stereo-typed Party writings only [unclear: limself] to read. If he passes them on to [unclear: one] else, the number of readers is [unclear: led], and already no small harm is [unclear: to] If he has them posted up, [unclear: eographed], printed in newspapers or [unclear: ished] in book form, then the problem [unclear: mes] indeed a big one, for they can [unclear: lence] many people. And those who [unclear: luce] stereotyped Party writings always large audiences. Thus it has become [unclear: alive] to expose and destroy it."

This [unclear: typed] view of SRC must be rooted and subjected to rigorous criticism; for [unclear: ly] if to be a Marxist is anything, it is to [unclear: ntktogmatic].
[unclear: or] instance writing in Salient No. 4 this Lisa Sacksen claimed inaccurately that [unclear: e] power of SRC has been carefully [unclear: anded] over the years so that now the [unclear: cutive] is little more than an [unclear: inistrative] sub-committee."
[unclear: ikewise] Andrew Beach, writing in [unclear: mt] No. 13, sees this institution as the [unclear: mocratic] policy making body of the [unclear: lents] Association," whilst Simon Terry Salient No. 17) goes as far as claiming "SRC is much more than just a policy [unclear: ng] body for the association...To me, it [unclear: ve] all an opportunity for an exchange [unclear: iews] on all matters and is as much a part of our education as the lectures we feel so compelled to attend."
