With workers by the thousand taking to the streets to oppose Tory policies there is plainly no lack of militancy in the organised working class.

Name.
Address C1 to advance workers beyond trade union militancy, protest politics and illusions that capitalism can be abolished through parliament.
The Workers Socialist League is a Trotskyist movement fighting day in and day out to build such a principled leadership in the working class in Britain.
Internationally, we are affiliated to the newly-formed Trotskyist International Liaison Committee, which fights for the reconstruction of the Fourth International and the building of revolutionary parties in every country to lead the struggle against imperialism and against the parasitic Stalinist bureau: cracies in the deformed and degenerated workers' states.
We invite all readers of Socialist Press to seek more details of the WL and its work, and to join us in the struggle for socialism.
