Ireland by Walking the Tightrope - Big Flame Revisited | Prometheus https://bigflameuk.wordpress.com/2009/06/17/episodes-in-big-flame-history-no-9/#comment-19946 Fri, 11 Apr 2025 20:23:45 +0000 https://bigflameuk.wordpress.com/?p=458#comment-19946 […] Politically, Big Flame emerged from a series of ‘base groups’4 in Liverpool in the early 1970s, which cohered with others around the Libertarian Newsletter Network into the national organisation in 1975. At the same time, the idea of cohering into a national organisation was rejected by the more libertarian inclined East London Big Flame group, who continued to exist as an independent organisation. Big Flame was heavily influenced by the ideas of the Italian workerist and autonomist left with its emphasis on autonomous struggle, be that of workers against their bosses, or black people against racism, or women against patriarchy. This autonomy was understood in terms of activity separate to the traditional union structures and political parties. In addition, it was reflected in a commitment to ‘inquiry’ into the changing kinds of struggles being waged in the 70s, which revealed the ‘autonomy’ of the working class from capital. Refusing to identify as ‘the party’ nor as ‘the embryo of that party’, the organisation was, in practice, a federation of various local groups engaged in an eclectic variety of activities – from support for workers organising in Ford plants, to women going on rent strike, to the movement to get British troops out of Ireland.

]]> Comment on Who We Were by Walking the Tightrope - Big Flame Revisited | Prometheus https://bigflameuk.wordpress.com/about/#comment-19944 Fri, 11 Apr 2025 16:30:13 +0000 #comment-19944 […] Big Flame existed in various forms from 1970 to 1984. The authors periodise its development into four phases (pg47): 1970-74 when the organisation was mainly based in Merseyside producing a newspaper there; 1974-77 when Big Flame became a national organisation and attempted to push for a ‘new revolutionary organisation’; 1977-81 when the organisation grew and began to have extended strategic debates; 1981-84 when the organisation declined and fragmented.3 The organisation regularly produced pamphlets, a Fact Folder recording various struggles from 1971-74, a Big Flame journal in 1974-76, and another journal Revolutionary Socialism from 1977-82. The organisation was structured around a newspaper, initially produced irregularly in Liverpool from 1970, before successfully emerging as a regular paper from 1972-83. Despite its small size the organisation produced a significant amount of print material, the vast majority of which is digitally accessible. […]

I greatly enjoyed reading BF book , very informative with lots of memories.

So , well done , very much appreciate of all the work you both put into it.

With hindsight , I should have submitted something for the book on the question of England and BF’s tentative links with Republican Socialists in Scotland & Wales.

I submitted the following to left libertarian blog in Scotland , Bella Caledonia – well worth a look at blog in general.

Lovely piece on the WCML website from our pal Seth Wheeler but I’m pretty sure we didn’t sing “When I’m Gone” at the end. Surely it was a Diggers’ song from ancient times? To be fair, there had been quite a bit of drinking and Steve Bond and Seni Seniveratne (in the photo) had to work very hard to get heard . . .

Really interesting piece, thanks, Simon. I don’t think we met but all those experiences/opinions tally so well with BF back in those days. Personally, I went soft and joined the LP when Corbyn became leader. Became less than impressed as time went on. Please stay in touch (we have a mailing list which we can add you to if you like?).

Only just seen this message, Keith, sorry so slow! Yes, we had to mention Wendy. One of many who left us too early and worked so hard to make the change we all wanted then, and still yearn for today.
