Which forces in society can be mobilised to resist some or all of the policies of state-monopoly capitalism and, furthermore, could be won for far-reaching change and even socialism?

Any serious strategy for socialist revolution in Britain must identify such forces at each stage of the process, developing policies which meet their interests but which also make inroads into capitalist power. The aim must be to maximise the forces for resistance, advance and socialism and neutralise or minimise those actively defending the status quo and opposing progress or socialist revolution.

Different sections of society have their own reasons for opposing aspects of modern capitalism, even if they do not understand their situation in political or ideological terms. The point is that they share a common enemy which exploits or oppresses them all, which blocks progress on every significant front and which will have to abolished because it cannot be fundamentally reformed.

That enemy in Britain is state-monopoly capitalism, a system which exploits workers here and abroad, oppresses large sections of society, constantly strives to roll back our democratic rights, generates militarism and war, and is now threatening the viability of our planet.
