Ken Loach backs Izquierda Anticapitalista campaign

"In their desperate search for new markets, cheap labour and cheap raw materials, the rulers of western capital break international law and desecrate the planet.

There has long been a need for a response from the Left that was credible. We have suffered from sectarianism and splits, and also from leaders who have taken us into the dead ends of Stalinism and social democracy.

We shouldn’t wait any longer. We need a European-wide party that puts the interests of ordinary people above the demands of capital. Defining a social and economic structure to make that a reality should be our objective Remember the old slogan: ’Agitate, Educate, Organise’. And the most important of these is ’Organise’!"

Yours in solidarity,

Ken Loach
