  Introducing Socialist Outlook
Socialist Outlook, new as a political journal, is a response to this situation.
Socialist Outlook is launched by the International Socialist Group, which is also a participant in SociaIist Resistance, a monthly activist newspaper.
This new, journal version of Socialist Outlook will express the views of the ISG on the politics and debates of the day, but as a quarterly it will be more analytical, looking at events in greater depth than a monthly paper is able to do.

 Marxism message, WHY WE ARE RESIGNING FROM SOCIALIST OUTLOOK?
Socialist Outlook has never been able to construct a clear identity or establish a political space for itself; the roots of this confusion lie in the refusal to discuss differences within the organisation at the time of its formation.
Socialist Outlook is in a catch-22 situation whereby the only thing that can save it is a strong political fight between all the competing views, but conducting such a fight would destroy the group.
Socialist Outlook has never been able to fight this degeneration in the broad lefts - the SMTUC fiasco is another prime example - because even if it has some understanding of the theory there is almost no attempt to apply it in practice.

The other group standing to the left of Labour in the Assembly elections are the United Socialists, an electoral alliance composed of the Socialist Party (formerly Militant), Cymru Goch and the SWP and various non-aligned socialists.
Socialist Outlook does not believe that such a group offers a credible alternative to Labour, not least because the groups involved do not appreciate the centrality and importance of the Labour Party in Welsh politics.
Socialist Outlook supported the establishment of the Welsh Assembly, in part because of its potential to reinvigorate Welsh politics.

 Weekly Worker 276 Thursday February 18 1999
Fighting under the banner of Socialist Unity, comrades from the Communist Party of Great Britain, the Socialist Workers Party, the Socialist Party, and the Socialist Labour Party united their efforts in support of a common platform, campaigning on behalf of the CPGB's Anne Murphy in the North Defoe ward by-election in Hackney.
Nominally at least, a majority of the forces involved are revolutionaries, so some people (ourselves included) are bound to be dissatisfied with the economistic, rightist, milk and water contents of the platform in its current form, as exemplified by a leaflet produced for immediate distribution, pending the drafting of a formal manifesto.
Socialist politicians arguing forcefully and cogently for a genuine alternative to the status quo are evidently deemed inadequate for the task in hand.

 Weekly Worker 285 Thursday April 22 1999
The organisations present were: the CPGB, Workers Power, Socialist Outlook, Workers International (organisers of Workers Aid for Kosova), Workers Action, Socialist Democracy, Workers Party for Socialism (Argentina) and the Communist Party of Iraq.
Comrade Simon DeVille of Socialist Outlook raised the absent Socialist Party as his excuse for urging a vote against the slogan: "They may not support it." Comrade Dave Stockton of Workers Power emphasised the need to have broad appeal - he voted against 'Arm the KLA' despite it being included in Workers Power's own material.
It is not clear whether the organisers, Socialist Outlook, declined to invite the AWL (there is an ongoing gripe over the Welfare State Network) or if the latter decided not to attend.

 Frontline 13 – Respect – an opportunity and a challenge for the left in England
Socialist Alliances were revived or established across the country and stood about 100 candidates in the 2001 Westminster election.
It was posed by the Socialist Alliance at its conference in May 2003, where it called for the creation of a political force that could represent the radicalisation expressed by the anti-war movement.
Concerning the SWP, it is difficult to disagree with Greg Tucker when he writes, concerning the experience of the Socialist Alliance, of “the reluctance of the Socialist Workers Party to invest in the Alliance any role which could be seen as an obstacle to their own interests” (15).

 Workers' Liberty #55 - Left unity and the state of Marxist theory: a debate. April 1999.
As revolutionary socialists we are not indifferent to the state and the health of the broad labour movement.
This must be the objective of the labour movement and, in the first instance, the objective of the socialists within the labour movement.
The point of socialists uniting is not simply to have a pleasant discussion, or to become a bit bigger, but to have a particular effect on the political outlook of the mass movement.

 Etext Library - Center on Religion and Democracy
It is unquestionable that the socialist platform is now the best one from which to advocate the interests of the workers, and is historically the most appropriate, so that the renunciation of this platform almost always involves the loss of the opportunity for defending working-class interests.
The socialist members of the Reichstag, frequently make speeches in that body which might be expected to give rise to the liveliest recriminations, and yet neither in the party press nor at the congresses is to be heard a word of criticism or of disapproval.
Fournière said that the socialist leaders regarded the crowd, which had entrusted them with the fulfilment of its own aspirations and which consisted of devoted followers, as a passive instrument in their own hands, as a series of ciphers whose only purpose was to increase the value of the little figure standing to the left.

 Workers' Liberty #55 - Forum. April 1999.
The only obstacle to this is Outlook refusing to provide an opinion, as they did, for example, for the forum on left unity in the Euro-elections in Action 48, to which the SWP, Socialist Party, Scottish Socialist Party, the AWL and John Palmer contributed.
If Outlook did not have the energy to sell both their tendency paper and Action they were damned if the AWL were going to be allowed to.
Surely socialists should be engaging with workers and communities struggling against the impact of a rampant capitalist offensive.

 Democratic Socialist Movement
Unfortunately however, this widespread support and commitment on the part of the working masses did not have an organisational frame-work within which to fully exercise its initiatives and creativity both in terms of organisation of the struggle and any consequent negotiations that may have to be done.
The trade unions’ organisational structure and outlook are too narrow for the kind of mass revolts in issue especially in a situation of a prolonged struggle.
Socialists argue that there is no way by which a decidedly greedy and anti-working class and rapaciously corrupt neo-colonial capitalism which holds sway in Nigeria can ever voluntarily implement measures to ameliorate the harsh impact of the increases in fuel price.

 THE SMALLEST MASS PARTY IN THE WORLD
The Socialist Review position was certainly closer to the impulsive reactions of the majority of CND supporters, even if most of them did not have a very clear analysis to back it up.
As a result of its politics and activity, the Socialist Review group was able, in the early sixties, to recruit a new set of cadres to supplement the small number who had survived the pressures of the fifties.
Whereas a couple of years earlier the Young Socialists had been a place where young people could receive a first introduction to revolutionary politics, a Young Socialists meeting was now such as to frighten away for life any uninitiated youth who might happen to stray in by accident.

 Weekly Worker 278 Thursday March 4 1999
At the meeting held on Tuesday March 2, of the manifesto sub-committee of the Socialist Alliance, formerly the United Socialists, ILN representative comrade Toby Abse nervously tabled a motion "regarding the continued participation of the CPGB in the Socialist Alliance project".
The comrade from the International Socialist Group - supporters of Socialist Outlook outside the Labour Party - said he was sympathetic to the CPGB's position as they had not been included in the negotiations for the platform.
The continuing involvement of the CPGB in the Socialist Alliance should be properly discussed to the satisfaction of all the original members of the Socialist Alliance.

 Some Reflections on the Socialist Labour League
The Socialist Labour League was founded in order to extend the work inside the Labour Party at a time when a more leftward development inside the trade unions and industry is gradually getting under way.
In other words the formation of the Socialist Labour League was a strategic modification of our total entry policy to a new situation which could not have been foreseen when out movement entered the Labour Party in 1947.
The open work of the Socialist Labour League at this stage must therefore be subordinated and organized in such a way as to facilitate the growth of the Marxist movement inside the Labour Party and the trade unions.

 Weekly Worker 437 Thursday June 20 2002
Hence the Socialist Alliance in England is to decide its position some time in October while the Scottish Socialist Party is holding a special conference this Saturday, June 22, in Glasgow’s Caledonian University - as to those comrades living in Wales and Northern Ireland, they are likewise to arrive at their own conclusions in isolation.
So minded, within the Socialist Alliance it was the communists who took the lead in boldly arguing for the biggest possible challenge in the June 2001 general election.
Communists are interested in carving out a space for socialist politics, increasing the profile of the Socialist Alliance and the SSP and spreading the idea of working class unity throughout the whole European Union.

 Center for Worker-socialist Studies
Marxist and socialist critique of capitalist society is being revised according to terms dictated by the victorious ruling ideology.
Moreover, the collapse of false socialist camps has, in our view, to a large extent simplified the task of pulling forward a genuinely Marxist, working-class and egalitarian socialist outlook.
We believe that, in view of the crisis of the social democracy and trade unionism and with the collapse of the so-called socialist camps, the active and radical section of the working class movement needs, and searches for, a genuine critical and militant socialist outlook.

 4: MARXISM: SOCIALISM FROM BELOW
But it was in the writings and the organising of a German socialist, Karl Marx, that the working class took centre stage in socialist thought.
Marx was the first major socialist thinker to make the principle of self-emancipation--the principle that socialism could only be brought into being by the self-mobilisation and self-organisation of the working class--a fundamental aspect of the socialist project.
Marx's socialist perspective represented a thorough fusion of the idea of mass democracy with the notion of a commonly owned and managed economy.

 Definition of International Socialist Group
The International Socialist Group are a small Trotskyist group based in the United Kingdom.
The Socialist Group was led by Alan Thornett and was a remnant of the Workers Socialist League which had broken from Gerry Healy's Socialist Labour League in 1973.
The ISG was active within the Labour Party until recently and is now a part of the Socialist Alliance and is generally seen as being close to the SWP.

Socialist planning was also at the centre of the demands made in Keep Left, the manifesto signed by fifteen MPs led by Richard Crossman, Michael Foot and Ian Mikardo.
Socialists who are active in Tower Hamlets, such as Glyn Robbins who has sound judgement, have described how Respect has genuine resonance among both working class activists and the immigrant communities; after all success does breed success.
The ever optimistic tone of party notes and the socialist worker clashed quite blatantly with reality (as did SWP lies over the size of the anti-war demos, tagging on an extra 100,000 to the StWC estimate, which pissed me off as much as the police estimates).

 World Socialist Movement - History: Russian revolution
The lesson of this is the one we have tried to drive home for so many years, that it is not possible for a minority to impose Socialism upon a majority who are hostile or indifferent; nor is it possible to remedy backward economic development by means of fine-sounding but ineffective decrees, issued by dictators.
Russia is not a Socialist country --its low industrial productivity and the non-Socialist outlook of the vast majority of its population do not bring such a thing within the realms of present possibility.
It is not true that Marxian Socialists at first approved of the Bolshevik dictatorship and Bolshevik policy and only later discovered that Socialism would not be the outcome.

 Gerry Healy - Chapter 3
The proscription of the Socialist Fellowship was followed by Aneurin Bevan’s resignation from the Labour government in protest at the decision to cut Health Service expenditure in order to finance a massive armaments programme.
Yet, by Socialist Outlook’s own admission, Bevan had done no more than defend political positions which were commonplace in the Labour Party before 1945, and he had made it plain that he had no desire to wage a serious struggle against the right wing.
Speaking at a Socialist Outlook meeting during the conference, Healy had demagogically warned the right wing that ‘no matter what they fixed by the use of the block vote, they would not prevent the Outlook from appearing or becoming a bigger paper’.

 Radicalism, Stalinism, and "proletarian culture": Examining the life of worker-writer Jack Conroy
The embracing of proletarian art was a reflection in the field of culture of the same deep skepticism toward the revolutionary capacities of the working class and the potential for the overthrow of capitalism internationally that found expression, in the field of politics, in the program of socialism in one country.
It is invariably bound up with the political work of socialists who struggle to elevate the working class to the level of its historic tasks.
It is not something to be gazed upon in awe, but rather the raw material for the construction of a revolutionary working class movement based on a socialist outlook.
