TUSC meeting 14-1-13 (7.30pm)

[Anonymous]

Election Meeting organised by TUSC (Trade Union and Socialist (sic) Coalition)

Vida Walsh Centre, 2B Saltoun Road, Brixton SW2 1EP (just by Ritzy Cinema)

Nearest tube: Brixton on the Victoria Line

According to the TUSC election leaflet, talking about the government’s spending cuts:

But Councillors have a choice! They don’t have to make these cuts. In the 1980s, Lambeth and Liverpool Councils made a stand against Tory Thatcher’s demands for cuts.

But neither Derek Hatton nor Ted Knight stopped the cuts, did they? Councillors could in theory do what TUSC asks them to do, but they would have to pay for it — literally, by being surcharged. And the cuts would go through anyway.

As our manifesto points out, while the government has forced councils to make cuts it’s because they have themselves been forced by the workings of capitalism to do this.

TUSC, however, think there is a solution within capitalism:

People before Profit. Make the bosses pay for their crisis. Tax the rich.

So, they envisage the continued existence of profit, bosses and the rich ! And think that this system can be reformed to work in the interest of the majority class of wage and salary workers and their dependants. This, despite the weight of evidence and experience which disproves this.

All genuine socialists are urged to attend this meeting
