Socialist Appeal
The Marxist voice of Labour and youth
Momentum chair Jon Lansman is stepping aside. And faced with a new right-wing leadership, the Labour left is being forced to reflect. It is vital that we learn the lessons of the last five years. There can be no more compromises.
December 12th will be the most important election in decades. Labour will put forward a radical programme, offering progressive change for workers and students. The Marxist Student Federation is organising to fight for a Corbyn government.
The abolition of Labour Students presents an opportunity to re-establish a new organisation on a healthy basis. Socialist Appeal activists call for Labour Students to be rebuilt around democratic methods and bold socialist policies.
Labour's NEC recently voted to get rid of Labour Students. The organisation has shown disdain for democracy, rigging elections to ensure right-wingers remain in control. We need a Labour Students organisation that will fight for socialist policies.
Young Labour members in London met last Saturday for a day of political discussion and debate. Amongst the policies voted on, there was overwhelming support for a motion to restore Clause 4. This shows the thirst for socialist ideas.
