"There is a burning necessity for a socialist party that will provide a fighting alternative to the ALP which has totally embraced the neo-liberal capitalist agenda which has led to unrelenting attacks on workers rights. But how do we go about building such a party from the small groups of socialists that exist today?"
A fascinating read, providing stories of inspiring revolutionaries building from humble beginnings into mass parties. Armstrong teaches revolutionaries of today the lessons that those of the past had to learn through trial and error - both where they went right, and where they tragically went wrong. This is a must-read for anyone who wants to destroy capitalism!
This is a brilliant synopsis of what it looks like to build a genuinely revolutionary party using a wide array of examples for such a short piece. It's by no means comprehensive, but it is a great place to start looking into history and to find a place to start building. It gives a clear argument and provides a lot of context for the hard slog of building in difficult conditions.
