A COMRADE FROM THE WORLD SOCIALIST MOVEMENT
Binay Sarkar
Some workers even after getting involved in the World Socialist Movement hold on to the erroneous view that we should support movements for political democracy, owing to the phony belief that the struggle for democracy takes precedence over the struggle for Socialism.
Actually, democracy in itself is not a system of society, but just the language of a social relation and a principle of organization and action. It is human nature to live socially, and democracy is the spontaneous social expression of human nature.
“The struggle for democracy is bound up with the struggle for Socialism, and not the struggle for Socialism bound up with the struggle for democracy.” (Socialist Standard, June1939).
