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.
Yet the existing trade union bureaucrats and Labour leaders -whether right or left'-have no perspective to offer those workers prepared to fight in defence of jobs, living standards, social services and demo. cratic rights.
These can only be defended through policies which start from the independent interests an then ternating alass, ashich as • ine workie cass. WACT internationa class has nothing to gain and everything to lose from attempts to restore the profitability of their own" employing class.
In a period where the contradictions of the anarchic capitalist system force the wholesale closure and destruction of the productive forces of society, only a socialist planned economy on a world scale offers a way forward.
To achieve such a perspective a leadership is needed which, in today's struggles fights 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 bureaucracies in. the deformed and degenerated workers' states.
We invite all readers of Socialist Press to seek more details of the WSL and its work, and to join us in the struggle for socialism.
Please send me more details about the Workers Socialist League.
