Our Politics Start with the World (New International No. 13)

"Electrification is an elementary precondition if modern industry and cultural life are to develop, and class conscious workers fight for it to be extended to all the world's six billion people. This fight is a prime example of how proletarian politics, our politics, start with the world." —Jack Barnes
The huge economic and cultural inequalities between imperialist and semicolonial countries, and among classes within almost every country, are produced, reproduced, and accentuated by the workings of capitalism. For vanguard workers to build parties able to lead a successful revolutionary struggle for power in our own countries, says Jack Barnes in the lead article, our activity must be guided by a strategy to close this gap. "We are part of an international class that has no homeland. That's not a slogan or a moral imperative. It is a recognition of the class reality of economic, social, and political life in the imperialist epoch."
