Recent decades have seen an attack on the lives of working people, from Thatcher to Blair and now Cameron, all the recent governments have attacked hard won rights by the Trade Union movement through out the C20th.
A minimum wage, holidays, the NHS and pretty much all that we hold dear has been gained by Trade Union activists, and with the weakening of the Unions position in the Labour party we can be sure these gains wont survive the vicious cuts the three main parties want to implement to fix the crisis caused by the elite classes.
Do we want to live in a country that allows for a underclass to rot away without helping them? Or a society which makes you pay for decent health care as politicians cut funding to the NHS? Anyone with heart would say no, they would want a society in which all have a good living standard and all have equal opportunity to get where they want in life no matter the wealth of their families. These simple ideas are socialism, these simple ideas have been abandoned by Labour and it is time that there was a political party out there which fought for these ideas.
Now we have to decide what we want to do in response to this; do we want to just sit by and let these attacks happen or do we want to fight back? I for one want to fight back and already have taken an active role in the Socialist party and TUSC, even if my contribution is small in the grand scheme of things, I know that I have at least fought for my beliefs. Sure, voting for a socialist candidate in a local election is helpful, but nowhere near as helpful as actually getting out there and participating in the fight back against the Tory and Labour cuts. Whether this participating is standing in elections or handing out leaflets or even just spreading your ideas and news on social media, ever little helps.
TUSC (Trade Union and Socialist Coalition) is such a party, and i am proud to say that as a member of the Socialist party i will be standing as a candidate and I will be doing my bit to bring in a fair socialist society for all.
There are many angry voters out there and they come out in droves to protest vote, but don't really understand who they're voting for. Parties like UKIP and the Green party try to dress themselves up as alternative parties but they really aren't. Just looking at these parties you can see they're not. UKIP want to bring down taxes for the rich and ban workers and women rights whilst the greens still implement Tory cuts in councils they control.
Instead of voting for parties who are all the same instead vote for a party who will bring change, vote for TUSC. Although initial gains may be small, over time we will grow as a party and we WILL oppose all cuts and stop bedroom tax evictions.
As Nadar said "If you don't turn onto politics, then politics will turn on you". All you readers think about your future and the future society you want to live in. Search up TUSC and realise they are the only party who will fight for you, not for bankers. Don't sit by idly and let the Tories sell off what you hold dear, resist. Apathy is the main weapon the ruling class use to stay in power, lets challenge this and change our society.
