Thank you for your comment. We can agree with all your words. Besides, you write with such clarity and from such consistent revolutionary positions that are very rare among modern left.

Do you have any articles in English or maybe you could write a short one for us on the basis of your comment for example? We could translate it into Russian and publish.

It would be very useful for us and for visitors of our website because we lack information about the real situation in the Northern Europe which still seems like terra incognita or even a kind of a «social paradise» with no class conflicts or national problems to many Russian leftists.

The problem with the class struggle in Europe is that the working class is still facing a period of understanding the character of the state and the so-called ‘democracy’, and especially that the unions are tied to the capitalist state itself.

This also includes understanding the state supported ‘left’ political parties which receives quite some economic newspaper support from the state.

During the last months in 2009 have unions and the employees freely accepted reduced work time and cut in wages without organizing protests, with some few exceptions.

In this situation of social frustration and lack of political class consciousness have political right-wing parties been lifted up in the media. The state and capital want to lead workers anger to blame immigrants and foreign workers for lack of access to emplyment in time of mass unemployment.

‘Left’ groups have met this development by fighting fascism inside the frame of capitalism by establishing a policy of bourgeois humanism instead of workers alternative. Not even that: the ‘Left’ has also been fooled to fight fascist groups where the fascists have decided when and where for battle. The consequences is that the ‘Left’ is handing over the overall initiative to the state, capital and the fascists groups. By establishing a critique of fascism based upon debate about race and how many immigrants should be accepted has the struggle for socialism been put in the shadow. This is no surprise since nearly all ‘Left’ groups, with exceptions as ICC and IBRP, have close ties to fascist and right-wing organization in the developing countries to ‘fight’ imperialism. Their open alliance with Hamas and Hezbollah by leninist/trotskyist groups and the syndicalists in Sweden expose this fully.

The revolutionary-socialist struggle is not about lifting up The Party or any Leadership. Such a political method ultimately leads to workers subordination under an elite and in the end under another upper class which will be born the moment the new leadership get control over the means of production and the economic surplus on ‘behalf’ of the population.

- All power to democratic elected workers and popular councils for collective ownership of the means of production.

- The class struggle is international and the working class has no fatherland.

- The aim of socialism is not to establish a party state. The aim is the rule of horizontal structures worldwide by and for ordinary people without any elite on behalf of the majority.
