But yeah, this is the strange thing. Most people agree we should natiolise the rail service, the NHS is mostly a good thing, to keep the post office public, renationlise the Utlities, greater demcrascy, greater freedoms of liberty, womens rights, gay rights, etc etc. Yet here are living in an ever more Capitlist society. With less liberty and less public ownership then ever before! An age of farse you might say, a time where we give billions to the bankers who caused the mess we’re in and then we cut out our own vital public services to pay for it. It’s quite insane, no one agrees with this, yet it happens.

I frequently have this circler argument with my father. I assert we clearly don’t live in a demcrascy but he believes simply becase we have a ballot box that means we live in a decmrascy. I point out what I have just pointed out…”well yeah but why is nothing actually like the way most of us want it to be then?” “What about the millions and millions it takes to wage a poltical campaign?”

Of course to a certain degree it is correct. It would theoretically be possible to start a party and do all this. But the ones with power of course would not go down without a fight. You only need to see the insane war waged agaigst the Labour Party when it was a sort of Labour Party during the 30s by the mainstream media. Or in a whole host of countires when Socialist Parties have taken some sort of power. From smear campaings to all out war resulting in the deaths of millions.

So my point, people are not alone in thinking what they do. We all want a better world. The problem is if we have any chance of creating this better world we must organise and organise well. With strong solidarity through a new workers party. It’s simply uniting, if you never fight you certainly will never win, if you do fight, hey you might win! They will try and demoralise you. I was reminded of this recently during the Postal Workers Strikes. The BBC ran a whole segment of people talking about past struggles that failed, saying what’s the point, we never win. We don’t win all the time, it’s a war, you win some battles, you lose some. But, you must keep fighting as they will come back at you again and again until there’s nothing left to take. There are so many examples of the people winning, we still have an NHS, Universal Suffrage, the weekend! And many others. Workers of the world unite, we have nothing to lose but our chains
