Socialist Alliance open letter
to Nick Wrack and Rob Hoveman, by current and former members of the SA national executive

Confused mish-mash
George Galloway's recent performance on Radio Four's Any questions? shows that a national socialist cannot fight capitalism, writes Carey Davies

Condoning opportunism
Why won't the Socialist Workers Party condemn the terrorist attacks and - in the case of the Socialist Alliance in 2001 - actively argued against using the word? Peter Manson explains that this is not just an oversight, but a symbol for what is wrong with the comrades' approach to 'my enemie's enemy'

Unreliable allies
The bourgeois consensus over the terrorist attaks reached between Tony Blair and muslim leaders shows that communists should attempt to break muslim workers from the mosque establishment - not strenghten their hand, as the Socialist Workers Party does, says Emily Bransom

We need your help!

No, we don't finance our organisation by selling our livers; wo don't have a T-shirt sweatshop in Turkey and we certainly don't have the heir to a nationwide chain of dry cleaners in our midst - these are only some of the weird explanations others on the left have made up to explain how we can raise £30,000 in two months (this year: June and July). In fact, we rely to 100% on party members, supporters, sympathisers and readers of the Weekly Worker. If you appreciate our open and democratic press, now is the time to show us! Rush your donations to us today.
