We republish this article on the referundum on the EEC Common Market,
written by Ted Grant in 1979. The article explains that the struggle
against a capitalist common market needs to be linked to the struggle
of changing society on socialist lines, as the struggle against the
European Constitution today must also be. |

We publish this article written by Ted Grant just before the general
election in Britian in 1979. The article demonstrates that the Tory
policies were doomed to failure because of the sickness of British
capitalism and that the reforms offered in the Labour Party programme
were unattainable on a capitalist basis. The only way to carry out
these reforms and take society forward was the nationalisation of the
means of production, and the creation of a planned economy under the
democratic control of the working class. |

 A remarkable document written by a Republican Socialist, Ta Power, while in gaol in
Ireland in the mid-Eighties. The
significance of the conclusions drawn by this young thinker and fighter, who
made a careful study of Marxism whilst imprisoned, will not be lost on our
readers. Above all the demand that politics and ideology must play the
central role in the struggle for national liberation and socialism, in the
building of a revolutionary party of the working class, will come as a
surprise to many, especially knowing the period and the circumstances in
which this document was written. With an introduction by Gerry Ruddy. |

Elections can provide us with a snapshot of the political mood of
society at a given moment. Yet if we restrict ourselves to who won and
who lost they can teach us very little. This is the editorial from the
current issue of the British Socialist Appeal. |

The ongoing conflict between the management of An Post (the Irish state
run postal services) and the Communication Worker’s Union (CWU) may end
up with 1,450 workers losing their jobs, the reduction of workers’
incomes, and the subcontracting of deliveries of mail in rural areas,
if the CWU doesn’t stand up against these attacks. |

The Scottish Socialist Party, once heralded by many on the left as the
most successful socialist experiment in recent times, is in the process
of tearing itself apart after sacking its founder and leader Tommy
Sheridan as the party’s convener. Officially he is now simply a
“backbencher”. |

In her usual style Naomi Klein provided many interesting facts, but
failed to reach any concrete conclusions of how we can or whether it is
actually necessary to abolish capitalism. In essence she would like
another kind of capitalism, a more humane capitalism, which of course
is utterly utopian. |
