We need a New Anticapitalist Party in Britain
Call for a New Anticapitalist Party | 02.12.2009 12:54 | Other Press | Social Struggles | Workers' Movements
After more than 12 years in office, Labour has proved itself time and again to be a party that attacks workers’ pay, conditions, jobs and rights. And now we face the worst capitalist economic crisis for decades, with a massacre of jobs sweeping the country.
The working class in Britain does not have a party of our own to organise and inspire resistance to the bosses’ crisis on a daily basis – on the streets and in the workplaces as well as at election times.

Without a new working class party, there is a danger that the racists and fascists will take advantage of the anger and anxiety caused by the crisis and scapegoat migrant workers, asylum seekers, and Black and Asian people.
A new party would fight to force the rich capitalists to pay for the crisis of their system, not the workers.
We appeal to all the trade unions and socialist organisations, to all activists fighting for resistance from below, to anti-racist and anti-fascist campaigners confronting the BNP, to the trade union leaders and members: let’s unite and build a new anticapitalist party.
Many activists and groups are now discussing left unity. Conferences in the autumn will discuss challenging Labour at the next election.
We want to see a new anticapitalist workers’ party take up that challenge.
We call for:
* An open conference – bringing together unions, socialist organisations, workers, youth and left campaigners – to launch a new anticapitalist party
* Local committees for a new party: start building roots in communities
* For a slate of candidates in the general election
