To realise the revolutionary potential of the working class, the primary task of politically advanced workers is to work for their own revolutionary social democratic, ideological unity, as the first step in overcoming the ideological confusion existent in the various ‘resistance against austerity’ struggles of today in the UK and Europe.

From the early years of the UK Labour Party, we experienced the division between reformists who, in accordance with trade union sponsorship, stood for socialism within capitalism and revolutionary social democrats, who stood for socialism beyond capitalism.

Later, we also experienced the division between the anarcho-communists of the Communist Internationals, with the Fourth Internationalists, on the one hand, supporting the notion that it was possible to bypass the nation state phase of revolutionary socialism and proceed directly to its international phase and, on the other hand, the Third Internationalists supporting the notion that it was constitutionally possible to proceed directly, from developing a nation state phase of revolutionary socialism, to building communism in one country.

Although the division here still lingers on in the impasse of the many factions, the objective conditions of today show that this division is of the last century, revolutionary social democrats are now mush closer to the conditions that were existent in the latter part of the previous century.

Today, if any advance towards socialism beyond capitalism is to be made, a clear demarcation must firstly be established between revolutionary social democrats, who stand opposed to the North Atlanticist imperialism of the UK Labour Party, and reformo-communists who still continue to call on workers to support such a party.
