THIS pamphlet from the Communist Party’s Anti-Racism Anti Fascism Commission is a bold and timely intervention in the toxic debate on migration, Brexit, populism and the steady march of the alt-right in the wake of the capitalist crisis and crash of 2007-8.
Packed with statistical information, historical analysis, topical commentary and political strategy it attempts to formulate an internationalist position that is both anti-racist and anti-fascist and capable of winning support within the working class and wider society.
This is a tall order. It has to grapple with the key conundrum of progressive and left politics today: how to integrate economic and historical analysis of class with the cultural elements of ideology (nationalism and identity) to produce a political approach capable of mobilising the support of the 99 per cent?
