With its back against the wall, all other tactics having failed, the ruling class has no alternative but to launch vicious attacks on the labour movement, on the weakest and the most oppressed sections of the population.

In the last few months we have had a taste of what is in store: slashing cuts in the social services, tax concessions for the bourgeoisie, red baiting during the miners" strike, a frenzied campaign to slander the power workers, measured day work and productivity swindles, vicious repression of black people and Irish militants, plans to seil off profitable sectors of nationalised the workers in the back, It is the existing industry, plans for more racist immigration legislatien, the government bill to smash the ADS Small ad. rates: 6d per word; minimum 4 issues, 5d per word; min. 8 issues, Ad per word.

Smash the Bureaucracy!

But repeatedly we have seen the sickening bureaucrats of the labour movement-the Wilsons, Castlus, Feathers, Painters, Chapples, and even so-called left-wing leaders like Jack Jones-pleading with the government to calm down and have the patience to let them stab leadership of the working class which gives the bourgeoisia its greatast hope for success.

As the confrontation deepens, much will depend on the dedication and fighting spirit of the new generation of revolutionary militants now entering the factories and colleges, or still at school. The cynical bureaucrats of the labour movemerit have a hearty loathing for the revo lutionary youth and we must ensure that their fears are more than justified!

But the struggle we are fighting cannot be won by revolutionary enthusiasm alone. We must also have clear political perspectives and organisation. Without the first we will not know Send this form to: Spertecus Laegue, 182 Pantonville Rond, London N.
