Class unity will take our movement forward
Ahead of the Communist Party's Scottish Conference next week TOM MORRISON writes on the challenges ahead

SCOTTISH Communists prepare for their congress next week in good heart with the party’s cadre force growing in numbers and experience.

Our party in Scotland, along with an active and expanding Young Communist League, has sought to keep the focus of the labour movement on class politics during a difficult and challenging period.

The siren voices of those who call for “partnership working,” for classless nationalism and for securing a benevolent EU protector have diverted energies at a time when our movement most needs strength and unity to stop the pillage of our country.
