From Protest to Power – A Manifesto for World Revolution<\/p>\n
Programme of the League for the Fifth International – Nov 2003<\/p>\n
All history proves that the capitalists will never relinquish their property peacefully \u2013 to claim otherwise in the age of \u2018Shock and Awe\u2019 is either hopeless naivety or wilful deception. There is only one way: their apparatus of state repression must be overthrown by force. The capitalists\u2019 monopoly of military power \u2013 armies, police and security forces, prison systems, civil servants, judiciaries \u2013 must be smashed to pieces and replaced with the rule of the working people themselves.<\/p>\n
This can be done \u2013 the majority of humanity can cast off the tiny minority of parasites. It will take mass organisation, an unambiguous strategy and, when the hour strikes, courageous and ruthless action.<\/p>\n
Some may baulk at this, but the alternative to revolution is not decades of undisturbed peace. Basing a global civilisation on the empowerment of a few thousand and the impoverishment of six billion is like lodging depth charges in the planetary core. If the logic of capitalism is left to unfold, our world will be torn apart by starvation, disease, poverty, environmental catastrophe, and war.<\/p>\n
In the struggle against capitalism, greater energy is equivalent to greater humanity. For with the suppression of our exploiters and an end to the tyranny of profit, human history can truly begin.<\/p>\n
