A really big turnout is expected at Sunday's demonstration on Chile. The solidarity campaign has been marred however by the bureaucratie and sectarian wranglings of the Labour Party and TUC leaders.
The Labour Party has officiully withdrawn from the Chile Solidarity Campaign on the spurious grounds that participation would jeopurdise their chances at the election.
As the trade union leaders skulked behind a sham 'unity' to get the social contract accepted at the TUC, so the Labour Party baresucrats ase the election as an excuse for scabbing on the Chilean workers.
Labour's clection chancer would best be improved by making a mass mobilisation in support of the Chilean workers.
CANCEL
The Labour Party has also asked che CSC to cancel the demenstration. This request has been rejec unable to avoid being told inost forcefully next Sunday that they Tariq Ali will be speaking on behalt of the IMG, No the bureaucrats are sad that have scabbed on the working class by continuing diplomatic and economic week in Brighton. exchanges with the Chilean junta.
The TUC followed next with a pathetio and sectarian refusal to sponsor the demonstration because doubt Tariq Ali into line with the heartthrobbing appeals to unity that so moved poor Hugh Scanlon last As important as the concrete acts of solidarity we can take with the Chilean working class, such as this demonstration, is tbe maximum discussion on the lessons to be learned from the Chilean tragedy. It is this which is the nub of the matter. What the burcaucrats resily fear is thousands of workers beginning to question the Chilean experiment because the tragic events in Chile are complete indictment of the reformists' own bankrupt policies.
SOLIDARITY
The IMG is appealing to all those attending Sunday's demonstration to match bebind the banners of the revolutionary lell to show not only their tall solidarity with the Chilean working class but their contempl for the policies and the bureaucratic minoeuvres of our own Telormist misteaders.
