| Devon Green Left member Lynton North, spreads the eco-socialist message |
Saturday October 20th saw members of the Green
Left in Devon carrying placards, boarding coaches and to London for the TUC’s ‘A
Future that Works’ demonstration.
The march, estimated at 150,000 strong, brought the centre
of the capital to a standstill and was a massive show of strength and
solidarity in opposition to the ConDems assault on the ordinary people. Hundreds of Green Party placards were clearly
noticeable amongst the marchers, with the first issue of ‘The Eco-Socialist’
newspaper being distributed and well received.
The battle against austerity measures and the evils of capitalism
needs to be at the heart of Green politics and coupled with the fight to bring
about an egalitarian, eco-socialist society. South West England & Cornwall
Green left recognise this will not come about from the niceties of politics or
holding tea parties, but only through struggle and positioning ourselves at the
heart of that struggle. In this we recognise action and fighting cutbacks is
perhaps more important than simply targeting electoral success and being just
another political machine.
