Scope and content
The need for the Party gets more and more pressing in Britain as repression and exploitation are increasing and the threat of fascism is growing. The Labour Party with its wage controls and other laws has plainly shown its willingness to strengthen the corporate state, in this it has won the support of trade union leaders and sown confusion among the working class. In Ireland the techniques of repression are perfected, while the same struggle of the Irish people has given the state the legal power under the Prevention of Terrorism Act to arrest without trial, to extort con- fessions and generally in fact to deprive anybody of any rights they may have thought they had. The CWM therefore declares its main aim as the building of the revolutionary Communist Party of the working class, for which purpose it is willing to unite with any other Marxist-Leninist organisation with similar policies. We ask you to join us in building such a party.
