We are
calling for a national campaign to take advantage of this election year to
emphasize the power of direct action and to present direct democracy as a
viable alternative to representation. This campaign will include literature
distribution, postering and stickering, demonstrations, educational events, and
other forms of community outreach, both in our own communities and around the
Democratic and Republican National Conventions. It will culminate in a
nationwide day of direct action on November 2, election day.

JUST DON’T VOTE - A CALL TO ACTION

Making history or just repeating it ?

Karl Marx once wrote that history repeated itself, first time as tragedy, second time as farce. The left in Britain seem intent on proving him right. How else can we explain the attempts to create yet anothernew party to challenge New Labour at the polls?
It is like 1997 has been decreed as year zero for Marxists. The history of the labour movement is happily ignored while the SWP and assorted other sects repeat the tactics which worked so unsuccessfully in the past. Blair did not appear from nowhere. He is just the latest in a long line of Labour politicians who, upon gaining office in the capitalist state, promoted capitalist policies.
This is not surprising. The state is the instrument by which minority classes use to maintain their power and privileges. It can never used to destroy them. What is surprising is that Marxists seem to forget this, urging us to vote for radicals at election time and get outraged when they defend the interests of the few rather than the many.

Le vote du 12 mai

Le 12 mai, le peuple suisse sera appelé à se prononcer sur l’acceptation ou le
rejet de la nouvelle Constitution fédérale. Quelle doit être, dans cette
affaire, l’attitude des internationaux auxquels leur qualité de citoyens
suisses donnerait droit de prendre part au vote ?
Pour résoudre cette question, nous n’avons pas à examiner les mérites et les défauts de la Constitution de 1848 et de celle de 1872, à les comparer entr’elles, et à accorder notre préférence à l’une ou à l’autre. La question pour nous se pose plus simplement.
