A Draft Action Programme for Ukraine International Secretariat, League for the Fifth International, 31/07/2014 The League for the Fifth International participated in the Resistance Conference held in Crimea on July 6th/7th. The conference provided an opportunity for those opposed not only to the Kiev governments war to impose its regime on the South and East of the country but also to the separatism that is often portrayed as the goal of those fighting Kiev, to discuss how to advance the struggle for socialism in the present conflict. As many speakers at the conference emphasised, this is not an issue that can be resolved at a single conference and nor is it only a concern of Ukrainian socialists but of revolutionaries everywhere. In the same spirit of internationalism, the International Secretariat of the League wishes to contribute to the ongoing discussion by presenting its own estimation of what should be the political basis for independent working class struggle and a new workers party. Of course, we recognise the inevitable limitations on us in this project but we reject any suggestion that this is an obstacle to international collaboration. The alternative would be silence and, against a background of war, that would be not only cowardly but a dereliction of internationalist duty. fifthinternational.org/content/draft-action-programme-ukraine
