Don't miss Proletarian Democracy's fundraising night of music and comedy. Now with a fiver off for each oppression! (ta butchers)

Finally, a return to the real PD tradition of the workers clock. With the recent obsession with intersectionality and the disgraceful rumours about comrade Mainwaring and young comrades in his dungeon, followed by CIA inspired accusations of a cover-up, there was a feeling among the true upholders of the PD tradition that what we were seeing was creeping feminism and autonomism.
 
New mass workers' party set up

In a revival of the fortunes of revolutionary politics in Britain Proletarian Democracy will be standing candidates in the next election as part of a new mass workers' party called FANG (For A Nuclear Globe), alongside the ghost of Gerry Healy, the Wool-Workers' Union, the Association of Auctioneers and Auctioneers' Lads, the International Bolshevik Tendency, and perhaps many more. Proletarian Action are also offering their support but sadly are playing a disgracefully sectarian role. The support of Gerry Healy's ghost, who in his day led one of the most important revolutionary organisations in Britain, for this important initiative for the proletariat shows FANG's potential to attract broad layers of the working class and to be ever mindful of the perils of creeping feminism in its ranks. It also shows FANG's potential to reach beyond the life-death divide and attract a mass layer of class conscious workers.

Wool-workers' Union General Secretary Matt Jumper, who is standing as a candidate for the local elections in May, said, "FANG is the most important new party set up in Britain in years. People are crying out for an alternative to Labour and as nobody has revolutionarized it by now, it is safe to conclude that nobody ever will."

Other names such as Victor Serge, Hegel and Gary Lineker have also added their support to FANG's electoral campaign. Gary Lineker said, "The reaction I got standing outside selling Workers' Girder with Gerry Healy's ghost by Leicester Square tube station this morning, where people literally screamed in surprise that finally we have a working class alternative to the established parties, is something important to build on for the future."

One shop steward in the Association of Auctioneers and Auctioneers' Lads was said to have promised to vote for FANG in the forthcoming elections, although this cannot be confirmed. As the president of the Meat Packers' Association said, "that single vote is like a tiny acorn from which a mighty oak tree could grow."

Nonetheless we believe this is an important initiative for the class and another giant leap towards overthrowing capitalism.

"The screams of terror at my appearance during parish council meetings are nothing compared to the screeches we will hear when the Con-Dems discover a mass workers' party capable of resisting their austerity attacks!" Gerry Healy said. We wholeheartedly endorse his sentiments, despite our serious differences and reservations towards him before he became a ghost. Unlike Proletarian Action, we are able to put sectarianism aside and work together in a broad coalition on the issues that matter.

While I extend comradely greetings to all involved in this latest trot-union lashup I cannot help but be reminded of the plaintive cry 'unity! end to sectarianism!'. A cry oft uttered in shrill tones by those who really mean 'we need the helm, you lot just shut up and join in'

The storms of capitalist crisis are no place for a fragile, single hulled initiative and must surely seek stability in a catamaran platform- two hulls as one. Gone is the time where we could discard the old guard of hoary pre-4th internationals and the withered labourite tendencies. We must all now shelter in a massive ark. We need a bigger boat
 
The thread of ultra-leftism threatens to choke the bobbins of this important class initiative there comrade, just as poor knitting and embroidery sabotage the wool-workers' work. We must be where the workers are comrade! This new alliance between the very tops of the trades unions, conscious that the magnet of history pulls them to the left now that they know Labour can't be revolutionarized, together with our own small forces and well-known and well-loved leaders like Gerry Healy, must not be jeopardised by the cynicism of ultra-leftists and adventurists. The time is ripe for a new workers' party to challenge the consensus between Labour, Lib-Dem and Tory and provide a REAL alternative - for the millions not the millionaires, for the living AND the dead!
 
This is so much neo-Lazarene obfuscation surely? I don't see the dead paying for tickets to the latest PD gig, I don't see the shades of yesterday proffering solidarity price for the Girder. Its time we left the dead as dead. Except for Lenin in his tomb where you are forbidden to laugh.

Ignore the huddled centrists, their time is at an end. For in short order they will find the center ground is the easiest to surround. And shoot at lots untill they die.

Forwards.

"The screams of terror at my appearance during village parish council meetings are nothing compared to the screeches we will hear when the Con-Dems discover a mass workers' party capable of resisting their austerity attacks!" Gerry Healy said. We wholeheartedly endorse his sentiments, despite our serious differences and reservations towards him before he became a ghost.

The dissatisfaction shown by honest toilers towards members of all three main parties shows the time for an alternative is long overdue. And who better to lead it than these august veterans of the class struggle with their long experience of leadership in the union and labour movement? Of course, the presence of the Marxist core of Proletarian Democracy inside the party will ensure that the bureaucratic and reformist tendencies present within the union bureaucracy, such as those displayed by the disgraceful comments by the right wing president of the Potato Peelers' Union about "Posadists" trying to cause trouble, are themselves discarded and thrown away. There will be no room in FANG for a leadership that sells out the workers.

The response at our canvassing in Leicester Square demonstrates the complete disaffection the majority of workers have with the capitalist system. Those who came to our stall prior to the launch of FANG's electoral campaign reacted as though they had seen a ghost! But make no mistake - the idea of a union-led party based on Old Labour principles might be dead, but it is no longer buried!
