![]() ![]() ![]() The author amply demonstrates the truth that the Labour Party is in reality both an imperialist party, and a 'bourgeois labour party', as characterised by Friedrich Engels, to whom this work is dedicated on the 100th anniversary of his death. In So doing, Harpal Brar directs effective and withering fire upon those who, whilst styling themselves as 'revolutionaries', insist on misrepresenting the Labour Party not only as a party which objectively serves the interests of the British working class, but also as being capable of bringing about the socialist transformation of society. The stance of various revisionist and Trotskyite organisations which, one way or another, take a pro-Labour standpoint are examined in detail. Time and again the views of the Labour Party are shown to have coincided with those of the British ruling class on every important issue affecting British imperial policy at home and abroad. The first half of the text is concerned with an examination of the origins of the Labour Party (the main party of social democracy in this country) and its record both in government and opposition. ![]() This book is a valuable contribution to the critique of social democracy and its counter-revolutionary role.
