"How can we really stop Bush?
Build the international resistance!"

The war mongers are organised on an international
scale in a way that has never been seen before. Their
attacks on the working class are carried out across
boarders and continents by international
organisations such as the IMF and WTO whose sole aim
is to organise the exploitation of not only the people
living in the impoverished continents in 'the south'
but also the workers and youth living in the west.

If we really want to change the world then we need to
organise as well to not only resist these attacks but
also to win battles and victories over the bosses and
the capitalists states that defend them. Whether it
is the fire-fighters in Britain, the peasants in
Guatemala, the children in the shanty towns of Brazil
or the dead people in Iraq, all of them are victims of
Capitalism and Imperialism - all suffering in order to
keep profits up.

The working class has organised itself internationally
before, from Marx through to Trotsky. International
working class parties have been created to fight
against the capitalists, their attacks on us and our
communities, and to unite the workers around the world
in the struggle for socialism. Now, the
anti-capitalist movement and the renewed spirit of
resistance from the anti war movement has shown us
that we have a chance to create a new international,
one that can lead us forward in the fight for
socialism, to break our chains and to finally defeat
the likes of Bush and 'Bliar'.

This meeting will include revolutionaries and
activists from all over the region, giving us a a
chance to share ideas and discuss what we can do to
take the movement forward. The European Social Forum
in Paris in November represents a massive opportunity
to begin to internationally co-ordinate on a scale
never witnessed before. The ESF in Florence last year
issued the call for the February 15th demos that saw
30 million people around the world marching against
the war in Iraq, what else can we achieve in 2004?

So let's talk about how we can really stop Bush, not
just when he comes to London but the ideas and tactics
we need to stop him and Blair and everything they
stand for.
