THE DRIVE TO WORLD WAR

PUBLIC MEETING AND DISCUSSION

Capitalism is pushing us to war. From Ukraine to Gaza, Yemen and beyond, powers large and small are enrolling workers to kill and die in defence of the interests of capital as their system is unable to throw of its permanent economic crisis. The British state – along with other NATO partners – is now openly warning the population that a new World War is coming. Parties right and left urge us to support this or that warring faction but the interests of the workers are global not local. We have no property to defend and no nation is worth one drop of workers' blood. The only war that workers have any interest in is the class war.

In this meeting, we'll give an overview of how we see the current imperialist proxy wars and how they relate to the 'crisis of capitalism', and we'll discuss what can be done by workers in the face of these wars.

INTERNATIONALISM IN A TIME OF WAR

PUBLIC MEETING AND DISCUSSION

Internationalism is never more crucial than during wartime. The big imperialists use the smaller nations as pawns and send the working-class to die to protect the wealth of their ruling-class, while the world working class has neither property nor nation to defend. So-called revolutionaries and reformists show their true colours and line up behind one country or another in the name of social justice, national liberation, or anti-fascism. In truth, they are only participating in the capitalist drive to war. Our viewpoint, as internationalist communists, is always rooted in class struggle. We fight for no nation, only for the working-class in revolution. Class war is the war to end war.

In this meeting, we'll give an overview of internationalism and what it means to communists; we'll provide a history of the relation between Marxism, our tendency, and nationalist war; we will bring this context to today's situation and the current imperialist proxy wars; and we'll discuss what can be done by internationalists in the face of these wars.

THE PRESENT WAVE OF STRIKES AND THE WAY FORWARD FOR THE WORKING CLASS

PUBLIC MEETING AND DISCUSSION

The UK is experiencing the biggest wave of strikes for a generation. Hit by inflation over 10%, cuts in the social wage and precarious employment, large sectors of workers had enough and started to fight. However, the unions are keeping the strikes separate from each other when a united strike would be the start of a real fight. Instead, the unions recommend bosses’ offers below the rate of inflation. What is the way forward for the working class’ struggles? Come to a public meeting to discuss this.
