Trotskyism Quite frankly, we're unique!
We're the only movement that fights patiently and relentlessly for the building of a Trotskyist party capable of mobilising the working class in the struggle for state power and the establishment of a socialist society.
In doing so, the WSL alone does not shrink from head-on battles with the existing leaders of the working class - whether these be 'left' talking Labourites union bureaucrats, or Stalinists of the Communist Party.
In these battles we set out to prove to workers both in theory and in practice the necessity for a new leadership and for a programme of transitional demands which, starting from today's problems and today's consciousness within the working class, lead workers in THE KEY TO THE CU FINALS DUIT MORE Lc struggle to grasp the need for socialist revolution.
For this reason, though we are smaller than some self-styled 'revolutionary' groups, the WSL has featured in the forefront of pay struggles in British Leyland, in the fight against the sale of jobs by TUC leaders, in the struggle against the cuts, in unionisation struggles, and the fight against bureaucratic dictatorship within the unions.
This method of approachrejecting any descent to simple trade union militancy, and any form of concession to the.
counter-revolutionary reformist or Stalinist bureaucracy - is of course essential for the working class not only in Britain but internationally.

The WSL is not the biggest movement on the left in Britain nor is it the easiest to be a member of. But in its approach to both theory and practice it is the only really serious revolutionary movement.
When you look at the struggles now under way and the problems faced by the working class, the necessity for a principled leadership is unmistakeable.
