Striking the Blow
Most of the recent and current struggles,although hard
fought by the participants have been isolated and
sidetracked bythe Unions and Labour politics.
Todefendourwagesandconditionsandourbenefits,tofight
cuts in services and jobs, to fight for our needs against the
requirements of profit and the market, we urgently need to
develop an independent movement of our class. Struggles
maystart offwithin the confines oftrade unionism and under
the influence of Labourist ideology but they must rapidly go
beyond these confines. They must begin to consciously
recognise who the enemy is - not just the traditional
establishment, the Tories,churches,judiciary,press etc., but
also the capitalist institutions,like the Labour Party and the
trade unions representing the working class.
