AT some point in the near future, we will be faced with a full-frontal assault on our class. We will see once again mass unemployment as the furlough scheme ends. Already there are attacks on workers’ terms and conditions and this will only expand unless we prepare.
Someone will have to pay for the crisis and slogans like “they’ve failed us” falls far short of what we need to be doing. We need a strategy. We need to move from being just an anti-austerity campaign to an anti-monopoly alliance in concrete terms.
What we are faced with is a class struggle and this goes further than just the Tory versus Labour anti-austerity campaign run since 2013 during which far too much emphasis was placed on Corbyn’s Labour and not enough effort put into building a real mass movement from below.
