[Individual-members-EL] Comments from Norway

[selvåg]

Comrades.

 

Here are a little comments from Norway.

 

I know about four members of EL in Norway, we all lives in Bergen, the old Hansa-city. Three of us are members of german Linke. Its  our hope to establish a group of EL in Bergen and  recruit more members.

Kjell Underli have earlier told about the situation in Norway, in my opinion the "left" in Norway are mostly engaged with protection of norwegian capital. They will back to earlyer lucky years with no globalisation. They think its possible to build hight fences round Norway and be a protected " early capitalist" museum. But the capitalist system are developed with the speed of an express train. And the capital are international, and there are no good norwegian capitalist or evil american  capitalists, there are only capitalists. 

 

We need to build a new left, based on Karl Marxs teories. Marxs teories can help us to understand the capitalist world and even help us to change this world into a sosialist society.

We need to build a new left based on Marx and Engels slogan in the Manifest: Workers of the world unite.

We need to build a including new left, not an excluding.   

 

Remember words are only words. Marx and Engels choosed the word "communist" in 1848 because the word "socialist" was compromised. Today many workers will think the word "communist" are compromised. 

 

Remember that elections are only tests on our works in a capitalist society, if the left do a good work in unions, movements usw. The left will do good elections,  I dont think left parties can do good elections only with campaings. And its seems to me that if left parties try to administer the capitalist society, the workers will  wote different next time.

 

I will steal a slogan from an american president candidat, Obama.

YES, WE CAN. Change are possible.

 

Thank you all for informations about your struggel in different parts of Europe, to know each other will do us stronger.
