We greet the millions of public-sector workers who went on strike on 30 November, protesting against a massive assault on their wages, social benefits and retirement pensions. They are quite right to say that the crisis is not of their making; that they can't and won't pay for it; and that they will oppose all the government's cuts, whether implemented by the ConDem government or by Labour, Tory or LibDem councils.
We need to understand, though, that the government's austerity programme is merely the reflection of the deepest ever crisis of this historically outmoded system. No reform is capable of breaking the downward spiral of crisis and war into which capitalism is dragging us all. The only solution is to organise a movement capable of destroying the old and building the new!
You accuse us of "attacking Stop the War". Comrades, the organisation belongs not to the officers but to the members.

It was set up in recognition of the fact that there was no existing party in Britain that carried a consistently Marxist-Leninist, anti-imperialist, anti-social democratic political line. It was, and is, the unshakable conviction of these comrades that only such a party can develop into a genuine working-class vanguard.
More information on the setting up of the CPGB-ML can be found in the first issue of our journal, Proletarian, in particular the article Why the CPGB-ML? Readers may also be interested to read the correspondence between the 'leadership' faction of the SLP and various expelled comrades.
