The NWBTCW leaflet is inadequate, because it does not
provide any concrete suggestions for how war on Iraq
might be defeated. All it says, as far as I can see,
is 'get rid of capitalism with a proletarian
revolution'. I agree that this is a great idea, but it
is not something that is going to happen tommorrow.
The overwhelming majority of the people of the march
would be concerned about stopping the war on Iraq. If
NWBTCW has nothing to say about how this might be done
it can have no relevance to these people. Why does
NWBTCW not advocate anti-war strike action and the
occupation of key peces of military infrastructure, ie
airbases, and then point out how some of the leaders
of the demo actively oppose such action (ie
Livingstone, who suppressed Mayday 2001)? By doing
this it could draw a clear line between a working
class focus and the class collaborationist focus of
the leaders of the Popular Front that is Stop the War,
not to mention the opportunist leadership of the SWP.
What a wasted opportunity... 

Cheers
Scott
