Down with the fraud of bourgeois democracy!

Over the last few months the world’s mass media - which is owned, controlled and dictated to by the capitalist class - has been preoccupied by the election carnivals taking place in France, then Britain, throughout the rest of the world such as in Venezuela, Iran and India, and now more and more in the United States.

The overriding theme of the propaganda about the election masquerades has been the defence of the democratic governmental facade of capitalist rule. A facade designed to hide the reality of an irresolvable economic crisis, the carnage of imperialist war, the pauperisation of the working class, the destruction of the environment, the persecution of refugees. It is the democratic fig leaf that obscures the dictatorship of capital whichever of its different parties - right, left, or center, ‘fascist’ or ‘anti-fascist’ - come to political power in the bourgeois state.

The working class is being asked to make the false choice between one or other capitalist government, this or that party or leader, and, more and more today, to opt between those who pretend to abide by the established democratic protocols of the bourgeois state and those who, like the populist right, treat these procedures with an open, rather than the concealed, contempt of the liberal democratic parties.

Come to hear and discuss the political alternative that the Communist Left proposes for the working class and its struggle.
