| Description | Up until 1988, Spark had never carried out an electoral activity of its own.
We had given a hand to the Socialist Workers Party (SWP) in several of its campaigns. And in our press, we had called for a vote for the SWP or Communist Party (CP) or other left organizations which had presented themselves in a particular election. We didn’t abstain out of principle, nor because we found those other campaigns completely satisfactory. It’s simply that we are a small group, and we never figured we had the forces nor found ourselves in a situation that would have enabled us to present a credible campaign.
Until 1988, we had never thought we could carry out a campaign that would touch enough workers to demonstrate that it is possible for workers to appear in the political arena. At any rate, in 1988 we thought we had the possibility to appear – at least in one state, Michigan. |
