Campaigning to end wars not an easy thing to do these days, as the supporters of No2Nato are finding out when they try to book rooms of halls for anti-war events. The ‘hidden hand’ is working overtime to ensure that all venues are closed to George Galloway and Chris Williamson in England, Scotland and Wales, whilst a whisper campaign is underway to divert or demoralise the growing number of workers and students who’ve been drawn to the new anti-imperialist campaign. Some say No2Nato should just join the Stop the War campaign. Others that it will simply become another political platform for George Galloway and Chris Williamson and the left social-democratic parties that they head.
Although only launched in February, No2Nato has already held several street meetings whilst work proceeds to build a national campaigning network. The union conference season, which kicks off in a few weeks time, is a golden opportunity to reach out to the activists and counter the torrent of propaganda on Ukraine that’s being pumped out on the mainstream media by the bourgeois lie-machine on a daily basis.
Merging with moribund movements is a recipe for disaster. Stop the War and the almost forgotten CND are dead in the water. They do nothing apart from providing a refuge for the has-beens and also-rans of the labour movement these days. As for where No2Nato is going – that largely depends on us and all the others who want to see a genuine anti-imperialist and anti-war movement take off in Britain
