It is said you can know a person by who they do (and do not) associate themselves with. Systematic ideology is descriptive rather than prescriptive - that is, it is good for explaining the relationship between things but not much good for saying how things 'should' be or 'should not' be. Nonetheless, here are some of the individuals and organizations that have had an impact on systematic ideology. Some are supporters and students, some are negative influences and critics.

Trevor Blake thought by transcribing a few essays onto computer and putting them on a BBS he could learn about two things at once: a political theory and electronic publishing. That was in 1992. The theory was systematic ideology and online publishing turned out to be on the World Wide Web instead of BBS. You can view a small amount of Trevor's work and interests unrelated to systematic ideology at the following address.

Braziers Park "is a community, a residential college and an architectural treasure hidden deep in the south Oxfordshire countryside. It was founded in 1950 as an educational trust, and is a continuing experiment in the advantages and problems of living in a group. Community members share responsibility for running the college and the estate." Harold Walsby lived and taught at Braziers, and the memorial lectures held in his name occurred there.

The Charity Commission for England and Wales describes itself in this way: "The Charity Commission for England and Wales is established by law as the regulator and registrar for charities in England and Wales. Our aim is to provide the best possible regulation of charities in England and Wales in order to increase charities' effectiveness and public confidence and trust." This is the organization that recognizes the George Walford International Essay Prize as a charitable group (number 1071002, to be exact).

The International Institute of Social History in Amsterdam houses the papers of Harold Walsby and George Walford. The papers are in good company: the only existing pages from the manuscript for the Communist Manifesto are also housed here.

John Rowan lived and worked with Harold Walsby in 1950, and in 1951 joined the SPGB at Harold's suggestion in order to learn the rudiments of Marxism. He became the editor of the SPGB's internal journal, Forum, and became part of a group which included Frank Evans and Stan Parker; they were all expelled eventually for dissident views. John went on to develop Walsby's theory (see entry on this Web site) and now believes that Walsby's approach is best pursued through joining in with the ideas of Ken Wilber.

The South Place Ethical Society describes itself in this way: "Based at Conway Hall, London, the South Place Ethical Society is, we think, the oldest freethought community in the world. It was founded in 1793 as a dissenting congregation and for more than two centuries has been a focus for serious discussion of basic ethical principles. By 1888 SPES had rejected the existence of God and become an Ethical Society, the only one which now survives in the UK. It is now an educational charity and maintains a proud tradition of free enquiry in all areas of thought and action. It arranges many talks, courses and seminars for members and interested non-members as well as the famous seasons of Sunday chamber music concerts." Students of systematic ideology have participated in meetings and debates at Conway Hall for decades, and continue to do so to this day. Their newsletter The Ethical Record includes writing by and about George Walford.

Eric Stockton was born in London, December 1924. He participated in the Manhattan Project, and (much later!) contributed to Ideological Commentary and the George Walford Memorial.

Richenda Walford is a daughter of George Walford. She is co-creator of the Web site Brussels Remembers. "We started collecting data about memorials when in London because we enjoyed walking and cycling around the city, finding out about its history, geography and architecture. We plotted them on maps because we find maps endlessly fascinating and enjoy using them. When we moved to Brussels it seemed that collecting memorials would be a splendid way to investigate this city and so it has proved." She also co-created London Remembers.

Anarchy ('A Journal of Desire Armed') hosted an exchange between editor Lev Chernyi and George Walford in 1992. Do these anarchists fit the description of anarchists presented by systematic ideology (see Angles on Anarchism)? What do these (or any) anarchists hope to achieve, by what means, and how much progress have they made?

The Marxist Internet Archive is a marvel to behold. Over 300 authors and surely the majority of every major and minor text by and about Marx, Engles and all that follow from them. It is difficult to imagine a more comprehensive and useful collection of Marxist writing. If you want to make reference to the epidynamic ideologies (those advocating either Reform , Revolution or Repudiation), you'll end up reading and quoting Marx sooner or later.

Oswald Mosley and his British Union of Fascists were a vital concern to the early students of systematic ideology - they viewed fascism in Britain as a real and negative possibility, and some of their work was designed as a direct response to the BUF. In particular, read the extended writing about fascism in The Domain of Ideologies by Harold Walsby. The 'Friends of Oswald Mosley' have created a Web page about Mosley's life and work. As you read their literature, think of why fascism was first considered an ideology of Expediency but later considered an ideology of Domination (see Meet Systematic Ideology for an explanation of these terms). How did systematic ideology transition between a prescriptive school of thought (against fascism) to a descriptive school of thought (explaining fascism)? And how does one resolve the contradiction of both (1) describing something neutrally and (2) being for or against that same thing? Resolving this contradiction helps clarify the purpose and function of systematic ideology.

The Socialist Party of Great Britain served as a foil for many students of systematic ideology. It was from the SPGB that Harold Walsby, George Walford and many other early students split, and the dialogue between the SPGB and students of systematic ideology has gone on for decades. It is the editor's limited understanding that the SPGB has split into two groups, each claiming the name 'Socialist Party of Great Britain.' The first group listed here seems to be the one most of a kind with the group George Walford and Harold Walsby wrote about, but both groups are listed out of a desire for fairness. The reader will have to decide for himself or herself which is the 'real' SPGB. Look through their literature - can you explain why they call themselves socialist while George Walford called them anarchist?

Debate Links
There is no e-mail list, Usenet group or other forum specifically devoted to systematic ideology - and this is by design. What the theory needs most is critical attention from outsiders. Here are some suggestions for where to do just that. Some members of the World Socialist Movement Forum and the Libertarian Alliance Forum knew George Walford for many years, and are ideal critics of his theories. Please consider these forums as places to find comrades to help you discredit the theory as well as places to help you understand the theory. The editors of GWIEP.NET cannot always be found in every conversation in each of these forums; please feel free to contact us if we are missing out on an especially good dialogue here or elsewhere.
