The text which follows was delivered as the introduction to the above meeting which was attended by about 30 people from a number of towns in the Midlands and North of England, as well as Scotland. They represented a wide divergence of political opinion from anarchists, anarcho-syndicalists, left communists, (organised and individual) as well as individuals originally from a variety of Trotskyist backgrounds.
The meeting was divided into two parts. The first part discussed the political basis of the NWBTCW coordination. Most of this was taken up with the rejection of the politics of a Third Worldist Castroite who tried to insist that both that the peasantry were the real revolutionary class and that Cuba was socialist. He voluntarily took himself out of the meeting when the second half on the practical nature of NWBTCW was discussed.
