Socialist Appeal
The British section of the International Marxist Tendency
The global microchip shortage has shed light on the retreat from globalisation across the world. The scramble to re-shore industries can only intensify the crisis of capitalism. The only way out is international co-operation and socialist planning.
Capitalist governments the world over are exploiting of the COVID-19 pandemic in order to curb civil liberties and clamp down on dissent. It is vital that the workers' organisations fight back to defend these basic democratic rights.
Mass vaccination offers the clearest route out of the COVID crisis facing humanity. Yet the barriers of private ownership and the nation state stand in the way of achieving this. The capitalist system is killing us. It must be overthrown.
Socialist Appeal supporters are deeply saddened to hear the news of the death of Hans-Gerd Öfinger, a lifelong revolutionary Marxist and a founding member of the German section of the IMT. We send our solidarity to his family and comrades.
