Building unity in opposing racism and fascism
Nurturing alliances to form a broad front against racism and fascism is vital if we are to unite our class both nationally and internationally, writes TONY CONWAY

THE Communist Party of Britain (CPB) has always been at the forefront of campaigns against racism and fascism. We recognise, however, that situations and organisations of workers change; this must be reflected upon.

The CPB congress in November will see several major debates, including on racism and fascism.

The “stop the boats” campaign by the Conservative government and large sections of the mass media against asylum-seekers and other immigrants can only raise tensions and threaten race relations as millions of people confront rising bills, poverty, unemployment, poor housing and deteriorating services.
