victory through militant action. the edited version of my letter (rebruary vullook) on Duncan Chapel's review of Chris Harman's Globalisation article. smaller home markets are more "globalised" should read "glocalised". This wasn't a typo.

The point was intended to show that there was an emerging Euro. pean economic bloc, based mainly on France and Germany, but also the advanced European states like Bern ano nouand Iwrote that "The economic policies of Thatcherism have prosion' in the British economy". This was turned into gobbledegook as "economic politics".

I wrose that *Such solutions instrikes against cuts and services and the key sectors of manufacturing should be publicly owned and policies directed at the nationalisa. con of financial insatucons This was again altered wrongly. While I could have expressed this more clearly, my point was that strikes against cuts are happening now, whereas nationalisations will require a struggle to rearm the labour movement politically.

For example, on ebruary ! there was a very large by the Lambertists at Central Hall with Benn, Corbyn, Alf Lomas, Bob Crow, Jimmy Nolan and Geoff Martin Probably 65 per cent of the audience was French, but they stole a march on the British left. Among their slogans were "For a people's Europe" and "No to a Sin. go currenty I think such slogans need debating, along with the issue of exactly Eurosceptics and differentiates itself from them.
