Why and how should the working class and peoples of Britain take the road to socialism?

The answers can only originate in the specific conditions and features of capitalism as it operates in Britain today.

In particular, the impact of state-monopoly capitalism on the different classes and sections of society has to be understood if it is to be counteracted in ways which draw  the masses of people into political thought and activity. The most powerful sections of the capitalist class predominate in the determination of British state policy, at home and abroad, and their strategy in the new, third phase of imperialism needs to be identified, exposed and challenged.

The maximum possible unity within the working class and the labour movement will be essential, together with the coalescence around the organised working class of an alliance for a popular, anti-monopoly alternative. In working out the way to socialist revolution, full account must also be made of the international context in which progress is sought, assessing the external balance of forces likely to support and oppose progressive advance in Britain.
