SWPcalls 'Black Party'

ARGENTINI AN openly racialist campaign for a 'Black the United States is being waged by the revisionists of the Socialist Workers Party, in political solidarity with the International Group in Britain.

SWP presidential candidate Andrew Pulley spoke in favour of such a party at the recent Black Political Convention in Gary, Indiana.

His speech makes it abundantly clear the SWP has abandoned completely the struggle to break the working class from the two big business parties by raising raisiour Party based on the trade unions. '*'He accepts the division of the working class along racialist lines.

He told the Convention that: Over the past few Years, black workers and now black prisoners have organized themselves independently and taken action to redress their grievances.

It is time to generalize from these struggles and establish an inde for black capitalists as wety as black workers],. that is, a" Black Party.' The Convention, he said, should declare its opposition to both the Republican and Democratic Parties and .. • develop a strategy for organizing the masses of our people [sic] into struggles for black control of the black community.

It is a bourgeois demand which has nothing in common with the interests of the working class, black or white. It is raised by the SWP right at the time when the organized workers are moving into major political battles with the Nixon government which clearly pose the Party' in Pabloite who are Presidential candidate Andrew Pulley urgent question of building a Labour Party to express the political independence of all sections t workers.

The SWP's policy, because it cuts straight across the unity of the working class, deludes the black workers into believing they can achieve emancipation alongside the black employers.
