I've joined the party wtoch fights for socialism
by Norman Munnery
The struggle of the miners and the Upper Clyde workers has shown that by determination and working-class solidarity, the actions of those whose only concern is personal greed**, can be effectively checked.
During the past 11 years of Labour Party membership, I have seen the disappointment of the few true Socialists who struggle to change its bourgeois ideology to one of Marxism Leninism. Their efforts, I am sure, could be better spent organising within the Communist Party.
For this past year as a member of the Labour group on the Brighton Council I have been constantly struggling against the reactionary elements controlling that group.
Time and again I have had to vote for motions that betray hopes of the working class by their revisionism, while Marxist ideology has been suppressed.
From out of this personal struggle has come an increasing awareness of the role of the Communist Party, not only in the constituencies and in the factories, but also within the student movement of which I am part.
Having recognised this, I have been able to join those comrades who have dedicated themselves* to the Socialist struggle as opposed to a political career which has nothing to do with the true needs of the working class.
I shall continue to represent my electors as a member of Brighton Council and in doing so hope that I can influence the ideology of the Labour group.
The working-class movement is growing in strength, with victories behind us we are confident of greater victories ahead.

БРИТАНСКАЯ ДЕМОКРАТИЯ В ДЕЙСТВИИ
Каким образом в Англии, где преобладает рабочее население-на выборах может побеждать партия консерваторов, партия крупно, го капитала? Почему рабочий сплошь и рядом голосует за классового противника, капиталиста?
Посещение предвыборных собраний в Англии в какой-то мере дает ответ на этот вопрос.
... Дело было в Далвиче, одном из пригородов Лондона. В здании местной школы выступали трое кандидатов в члены парламента: консерватор, лейборист и либерал.
Собрание походило на вечер вопросов и ответов: кандидатам, сидевшим рядом с председательствующим на небольшой эстраде, задавали из публики вопросы: на каждый из них все трое отвечали по очереди. Благодаря такой процедуре, особенно наглядно проявилось поразительное сходство между избирательными лозунгами соперничающих партий.
Одним из первых задали вопрос о путях обеспечения мира. Каждый из трех кандидатов ответил, что его партия ставит интересы мира превыше всего. Консерватор уверял: его партия больше других озабочена тем, чтобы на переговорах четырех держав была достигнута полнейшая договоренность. Призывая собравшихся голосовать за тори, он воскликнул: «От этого зависит мир во всем мире!» Но два других парламентских кандидата клялись в своей приверженности к миру почти в тех же самых выражениях.
Такое же единодушие кандидаты обнаружили и в области внутренней политики. Из публики спросили о пенсиях старикам. Оказалось, что каждый из кандидатов безусловно стоит за увеличение пенсий и будет считать это чуть ли не главной своей задачей. Задали вопрос о местном транспорте, который оставляет желать много лучшего, все трое обещали добиваться улучшения автобусного сообщения в Далвиче.
Иными словами, стоило закрыть глаза, и вы уже не могли сказать, кто сейчас отвечает на вопрос: консерватор, лейборист или либерал.
Неудивительно, что рядовому англичанину -ірудно разобраться, что к чему, тем более, что обещания обычно остаются обещаниями.
