Reformulating what we fight for
Our 'What we fight for' column was first drafted many years ago in the 1980s as the factional platform of the Leninists of the CPGB.

The Provisional Central Committee is submitting the following draft to the next CPGB membership aggregate on May 11 and calling for debate not only on our members' e-list, but also in the pages of the Weekly Worker

Comrades from the University College Dublin branch of the Socialist Workers Party in Ireland have decided to resign from the organisation.

Instead of openly conducting an ideological struggle within the SWP, the comrades chose to openly fight only after they 'broke away'
