| Mushtaq Lasharie (R) talking about growing resistance |
By
New Worker correspondent
London comrades met to discuss the US–NATO
drive to war and the struggle for peace in a pub in central London last week.
Chaired by Theo Russell, the topic was opened by Mushtaq Lasharie, a retired
Labour councillor and a leading figure in the Pakistani community, and New
Communist Party (NCP) leader Andy Brooks at the upstairs meeting room at the
Cock Tavern in Euston.
Andy Brooks stressed the NCP’s
long-standing position that the primary contradiction in the world today is
between US imperialism and the rest of the world it seeks to dominate, which
includes the national bourgeoisie in Russia and the Third World. Mushtaq, who
is the Chair of Third World Solidarity, talked about the growing resistance to
imperialism throughout the world, pointing out that the abortive Turkish army
move to depose the president was only the second time since the Second World
War that a US-inspired coup had failed.
Everyone took part in the discussion that
followed and the meeting ended with a collection that raised £36 for the New
Worker fighting fund.
