Demonstrate, occupy and strike!<\/em>
\nBuild the general strike, kick the Tories out!<\/em>
\nDemand General Election Now!<\/em>
\nby ISL \u2013 England [LITCI]<\/strong>
\nJohnson pursues his anti-democratic and anti-working-class actions in parliament but has lost one vote after another. He is losing and desperate. However, Corbyn is prevaricating \u2013 none of this is in the interests of workers.
\nWorkers are sick of parliamentary manoeuvring and don\u2019t want a Popular Front government. The Liberal Democrats, Scottish National Party and Greens are not fighting for workers\u2019 interests and by refusing to demand a general election now all Corbyn is doing is to keep the Tories in government.
\nWe have to build a mass movement on the streets with mobilisations, occupations, and strikes and build for a general strike to fight Johnson and austerity in the UK and EU.
\nAll workers\u2019 organisations and communities must come together and support demonstrations, strikes and plan a general strike.
\nThe struggle against climate change, austerity, big business and Johnson\u2019s Brexit face the same enemies.
\nUnited mass action on 20 September, against climate catastrophe can continue to end this undemocratic, racist, sexist, homophobic, environmentally destructive and anti-working class government.
\nWhat we are seeing in parliament is not the preparation for\u00a0mass struggle based on workers democracy\u00a0but tricks of\u00a0parliamentary democracy.
\nWorkers from 1819 and before fought for political representation in parliament, but that democratic right has limits.
\nWorkers have to build their own democracy in the street mobilisations, strikes and build their own democratic organisations. We are for workers direct democracy.
\nWe oppose Johnson closing parliament, but parliamentary democracy is not enough to protect workers. It is the democracy of the rich, it is bourgeois democracy.
\nTrying to buy popularity and future election votes Sajid Javid, the chancellor, promises a 4.1% boost in spending on public services but that does not reverse the ten years of cuts.
\nIt is a trojan horse to win votes in a general election, and goes hand in hand with their deepening privatisation programme. Tories are the party of austerity, and that will not change.
\nFor a workers and socialist exit out of austerity and the EU<\/strong>
\nWe call on all trade unions and political organisations that supported a workers exit to re-vitalise their struggle for such an exit, because Jeremy Corbyn will not lead such a campaign.
\nFor example, the RMT transport Union, the Bakers Union, the Socialist Party, the Socialist Workers Party and the Communist Party all support a workers exit and we should fight together for a workers and socialist Lexit.
\nLeaving the EU must include all workers\u2019 rights and regain and retain all their past advances and gain new demands. No to Remain, no to Johnson\u2019s Brexit.
\nFor a workers and socialist programme<\/strong>
\nLabour continue, after ten years of cuts, to apply Tory austerity. They have done nothing to stand up for working class communities.
\nThey have supported privatisation of public services through PFI while leaving the banks and multi-nationals intact. The Labour party will continue to incarcerate immigrants in detention centres.
\nUniversal Credit oppresses workers and those not able to work are bullied and battered as the state seeks every means to deprive them of benefits.
\nThe Gig economy forces youth and immigrant workers into low pay and terrible conditions. It is only the struggle of the new unions, such as UVW and IWGB together with the rank and file of some of the old unions that are fighting to end it.
\nWe say fight all attacks by Tory or Labour:<\/p>\n
