Build a Mass World Socialist Party

 


Everywhere, national based revolutionary groups have failed to seize the opportunities for revolution. In countries all over the world, the forces of reaction have punished the left for its failures.

The mass of workers respond spontaneously and with whatever tools they have, which might vary from trade unions and strikes to protests that are all too frequently permitted to dissipate by petty-bourgeois and pseudo-left leaderships. The imperialist order and the entire capitalist system must be opposed on a world scale, and this requires the creation of global organizations that can do it.

What is needed is a World Socialist Party at the head of a mass movement, the kind of revolutionary leadership of the proletariat that the Bolsheviks sought to establish when they founded the Communist International after the success of the Russian Revolution. Today, under conditions of globalized production, the Russian experience as an isolated working-class revolution cannot be repeated and only such a global leadership can ensure success in even one country and prevent the slide into war and a hellish social and political landscape.

No matter how militant the masses become, this leadership cannot develop on its own. The bourgeoisie, through the division of the world into archaic nation-states and the global imperialist system, which is the means by which global financial capital rules the world, keeps the struggles of the world working class divided. At the same time, globalization has fundamentally undermined nationalism. This calls for organizations that can respond globally, and only the global proletariat can accomplish this if it is equipped with a strategy that bases itself on the bedrock principles of Revolutionary Marxist Internationalism.

To fight for a future for the whole world, it is necessary for workers to emblaze upon our banners the slogan: for international organizations of the working class as the foundation for a world socialist party to lead the workers to power in every country!
