The crisis of the capitalist system demands a political response. The RCG believes that the way for human society to progress – or even to survive – is for capitalism to be destroyed. The British ruling class will never allow the system which maintains its domination to be wished or voted away – it will take a revolution led by the working class. The only alternative to capitalism is socialism: a conscious and organised process of constructing society in which people cooperate in order to meet their needs rather than serve the dictates of private profits; a society enabling the full development of every individual rather than privilege for a few. Britain is the oldest imperialist country in the world. It was the first to develop into monopoly capitalism – imperialism, and is still a major imperialist power, second only to the United States. Britain’s imperialist character has been decisive in determining British economic, social and political developments.
