WILL a Labour government help us achieve socialism? The short answer is “perhaps” or, more accurately “we’re unlikely to get socialism without one.”
Our parliamentary institutions, which were secured through struggle and sacrifice, can have a potentially vital role in the advance to socialism.
In 1881, half a century before women secured the vote, Engels declared that in England, where the working class “forms the immense majority of the people” they should “use the power already in their hands, the actual majority they possess in every large town in the kingdom, to send to Parliament men of their own order.” Whether this could lead peacefully to socialism would depend on the response of the ruling class to policies which threatened its power.
