A propaganda of peace at the present time, if not accompanied by a call to revolutionary mass actions, is only capable of spreading illusions, of demoralising the proletariat by imbuing it with confidence in the humanitarianism of the bourgeoisie, and of making it a plaything in the hands of the secret diplomacy of the belligerent countries. In particular, the idea of the possibility of a so-called democratic peace without a series of revolutions is deeply erroneous. (V.I. Lenin From Conference of Foreign Sections of the RSDLP" Social-Democrat No. 40, March 29 1915) |
It is necessary not only to stop the war, but to stop the war through the defeat of our own imperialist rulers. Therefore we propose the following resolution for this meeting: That the slogans and political basis of the Stop the War Coalition should be:Defend Afghanistan!
