Socialist Outlook no. 100, April 6 1996 · 178 words

SOCIALISM is international or it is nothing.

Capitalism exploits workers and peasants throughout the world without regard to nation. ality. Whatever differences arise between ruling classes of different countries at times they share common concerns, and are always prepared to overcome divisions when faced with a challenge to their control.

The internationalism of the working class is therefore not just an aspiration—a nice Idea— but a recognition of the need for workers to unite across national frontiers. mean ignoring the differences STOLEN ST WAR IN NO For Socialist Outlook therefore our support for the Fourth International Is fundamental to our identity. Through genuine democratic discussion. based on an experience of class struggle in different parts of the globe we strengthen our understanding of how to fight international capitalism.

We can mount more effec. tive campaigns when fighting alongside our sister organisations in other countries and continents, such as that organised by the Fourth International in defence of multi-ethnic Bosnia and through participation in international events such as the European Youth Summer Camp.
