L. The main political effort of the organisation in the next year shall be popularisation of the ideas contained in part 6 of the perspectives document and in the document on the united front and trade union work. This resolves itself into three main organisational and political tasks which are conditioned by the political situation. (a) To organise, using primarily the method of the united front, the struggles not only of the working class but of all secuons or ine oppressca in the present period this involves two fundamental axes. Firstly work in solidarity with the struggle of the Irish people against the forces of British imperialism. Secondly to organise united fronts and rank and file organisations in the trade unions. The political tasks corresponding to these are the struggle within the vanguard for a clear cut line on the subject of self-determination which involves a clear-cut defeatist position with regard to the armed struggle in Ireland, and the question of programmatic clarity on the subject of workers" control and the Labour Party. (b) The task of the building of the organisation through individual recruitment and in particular of incorporating into the group those advanced workers with whom we have the closest contact. The most impottant instrument in this is our work on the subject of Ireland and its organisational prerequisite is a strengthening of the central apparatus and the paper of the organisation. (c) The task of bringing about a re-alignment of forces within the revolutionary vanguard itself. This concretely boils down to the question of Leninism v Economism. The newspaper, publications, reflect these tasks.
These three tasks must be situated within the framework of breaking the most decisive sections of the working-class from social democracy. This will of necessity involve changes in style and content of the newspaper. Secondly the popularisation of our positions must be situated within a struggle to develop a transitional programme. In beginning to formulate such a programme the new leadership shall be guided by the theoretical principles that: (a) There exists not transitional programmes for sectors but only one transitional programme for the whole of socity. (b) The content of any transitional programme is the smashing of the capitalist state, lynch-pin of cantalist social relations. which in virtually all conditions is carried out through the propagation and victory of institutions of dual power. Such institutions must be the revolutionary political expres sion of the working-class, uniting the anti-capitalist struggles of all sections of the exploited or the oppressed and thus be capable of establishing and consolidating the dictatorship of the proletariat. The creation of institutions of dual power which smash the capitalist state-machine and production relations is thus the strategic pivot and substance of the transitional programme. 2. All our political work must be combined with a ruthless ideological struggle for the Leninist conception of the party. This struggle in Britain revolves around combatting the administrative conceptions of the party, traditional within the British *Trotskyist movement and expressed by the IS, SLL etc. In this fight we must take up the following points:
