PT1.
Following on from the democratic 'route'. Countries like Britian are ruled by
a politcal party that has in reference to its population size is tiny and in
those parties themselves only a minority are truly active. There are approximately
30-50 thousands communists in this country. I would say it is the duty of every
communist in the UK to join the Labour party, every member of the SWP, Socialist
Labour Party, Militant (don't make it so obvious this time!) Revolutionary Workers'
Party so on all should be members of the Labour Party. Forget hair-splitting
disputes if it generally Left-wing it's should be the Lawbour Party.
I myself am a communist and have been, except the first fourteen years, a communist
all my life and also been a member of the Labour party since my teens. Peter
Mendelson, Jack Straw both EX-members of the communist party. but they wouldn't
have been made ministers now if they still were. Yet now are in a position to
extend power and influence over major decisions of this country to wards a more
fair and egalitarins society. Keep your parties but jion the Labour Party as
well.
