An Harangue

Lyrics

The insecurity of crystalline political super-
Structures as a consequence of economic crisis and
Social conflict, is not in itself a new form of social
Organisation — making deep changes in the social
Project. Unless a conscious socialist transformatory
Alternative develops, the result of crisis must be the
Further entrenchment of reaction and the growth of
Mass repression in lieu of solutions to societies’
Problems. The ruling classes are universally appraised
Of such prospects: in the non-industrial countries
The only growth industry is military and in the
Industrial (‘advanced’) countries, there is a vogue
For discovering and ‘elimination’ ‘dangers within’
And an increase in hysterical, repressive legislation
The ideal is now the ‘strong’ and opaque state where
Repression keeps workers in line and activists
Harassed .. entangled in a charade … tolerated
Up-to-a-point. The point is that at which the
Activists cease to resemble traditional reformist
Organisations. The latter are, in any case, afforded
Space in which to operate — mystify

For the ruling classes to want such regimes is one
Thing — to achieve them is quite another: the
Workers can move to the centre of political events
Rapidly and surprise the ruling classes with their
Economic power. This — even when the working
Class, as, such, is a minority

But the prospect remains bright for the authori-
Tarian right: for this, both the reformist parties and
Peasant-fixated 1960’s revolutionaries are to blame

What is needed is an integration of the ideology of
Socialism … socialist … transformatory sections … with
The industrial working class

Socialist-working class solidarity is historical
Leadership identity
