Chapter 4: The forces for change.

The forces exist which - if mobilised around the demands of the alternative economic and political strategy can put Britain on a new course, to tackle the crisis in the interests of the people, expand democracy and open the way to socialist revolution.

The urgent need now is to link these forces and their struggles closer together. The policies of the alternative strategy aim to promote the economic, social and political interests of all working people in a combined and mutually reinforcing way.

This process must also involve - at the organisational level and in the course of mobilising for struggle - growing unity between the forces for change, drawing together the widest possible alliance directed against state-monopoly capitalism.

Building and strengthening such a democratic anti-monopoly alliance must be the top priority.

To achieve it, however, requires an understanding of the class forces in capitalist society in England today.
