Newport the town that gave us the last full scale working class Insurrection in the British Isles in 1839 is hosting a Summit for US/NATO Imperialisms "finest"




"That one day not only would they have the Charter but they would also have 'something more'--a better world where those who make the wealth would enjoy it to the full".

So said the Chartists leader John Frost in In 1856 on his return to Britain.

Several thousand people gave him a hero's welcome when he arrived in Newport and he told them:

"That one day not only would they have the Charter but they would also have 'something more'--a better world where those who make the wealth would enjoy it to the full".

Democracy and Class Struggle says we are still far removed from the direct democracy envisaged in Chartist Annual Parliaments and Representative Democracy has long been subverted by the British Capitalist State..

Concerning those who make the wealth enjoying it to the full - those that work hardest are usually paid the least and certainly do not enjoy the full fruits of their labours, inequality is increasing with the demolition of the Welfare State. and Wales and the World have seen a resurgence of capitalist neo liberalism.

The Class Struggle for Democracy is returning to the streets of Newport its birthplace.- to protest the NATO warmongers. 

Long live the memory of those killed in Newport in the struggle for Democracy - their cause still needs to be fought today in the Land of Our Fathers. 

We have heroes from the past like John Frost  - what we need are heroes for the future in the struggle for Democracy and Socialism
