Arthur Scargill: ' Criticism of Tory Policies' (3)
Not satisfied however with the most vicious anti-union legislation in the world, the Tories are currently introducing new measures which are so draconian they have staggered and brought forth opposition even from some traditional enemies of the trade-union movement.
The steps taken against British trade unionism can probably only be compared with those taken against our German comrades by Hitler in the 1930s.
If this new Tory legislation is left unchallenged, then civil liberties and human rights in Britain are in danger of being wiped out...
As life in Britain becomes harder, as frustrations and tensions rise, the State must bring into play all the elements of its machinery in order to suppress any attempts to throw off its power.
The police are used increasingly in paramilitary fashion.
The judiciary use greater ruthlessness against any trade union that attempts to stand by its rules and constitution as the experience of the National Union of Mine workers over the past four years proves.
The courts have dealt just as savagely with the Lambeth and Liverpool councillors who refused to betray the commitments made to their communities.
Meanwhile the media, now quite openly under the control of international capitalists such as Murdoch and Maxwell, become even more blatantly the mouthpiece of Toryphilosophy.
The British capitalist press can make no claim to either objectivity or integrity, whether through the gutter journalism of the tabloids, or the more restrained style of the so-called 'quality' papers; they both play a key role in the daily dissemination of lies and misinformation to the public.
This is but an outline of the situation which today faces the British Labour and trade - union movement.
The terrible irony about it is that whilst throughout our movement there is general agreement on the ravages of the Tory attack and agreement that it should be stopped – we have not united in an effective force to combat those ravages and challenge the system which has forced them on to our class.
On the contrary! Rather than uniting to fight our common enemy, our movement has been diverted time and time again by internal attacks: attacks aimed,disgracefully, at the very sections which have fought so bravely to carry out Labour Party and TUC policies by battling to save jobs, industries, communities and services.
Margaret Thatcher has been absolutely clear in recognizing her enemy - it is socialism and she has openly declared her intention of wiping it off the British agenda.

阿瑟·斯卡吉爾:“對(duì)保守黨政策的批評(píng)”(3)
然而，托利黨對(duì)世界上最惡毒的反工會(huì)立法并不滿意，他們目前正在引入新的嚴(yán)厲措施，這些措施令人震驚，甚至引起了工會(huì)運(yùn)動(dòng)的一些傳統(tǒng)敵人的反對(duì)。
對(duì)付英國(guó)工會(huì)主義的措施，大概只能與希特勒在20世紀(jì)30年代對(duì)付我們德國(guó)同志的措施相比。
如果保守黨的這項(xiàng)新立法不受挑戰(zhàn)，那么英國(guó)的公民自由和人權(quán)就有被消滅的危險(xiǎn)。
隨著英國(guó)人的生活變得越來越艱難，隨著挫折和緊張局勢(shì)的加劇，國(guó)家必須調(diào)動(dòng)其機(jī)器的所有要素，以鎮(zhèn)壓任何推翻其權(quán)力的企圖。
警察越來越多地用于準(zhǔn)軍事用途。
司法部門對(duì)任何試圖遵守其規(guī)則和憲法的工會(huì)都更加無情，正如全國(guó)礦工工會(huì)過去四年的經(jīng)驗(yàn)所證明的那樣。
法院對(duì)拒絕違背對(duì)社區(qū)承諾的蘭貝斯和利物浦議員也同樣粗暴。
與此同時(shí)，媒體現(xiàn)在完全公開地受到默多克和麥克斯韋爾等國(guó)際資本家的控制，它們甚至更加公然地成為保守黨哲學(xué)的喉舌。
英國(guó)資本主義新聞界無論是通過小報(bào)的下流新聞，還是通過所謂的“優(yōu)質(zhì)”報(bào)紙的更克制的風(fēng)格，都不能聲稱客觀性或完整性;他們都在日常向公眾傳播謊言和錯(cuò)誤信息方面發(fā)揮著關(guān)鍵作用。
這只是今天英國(guó)勞工和工會(huì)運(yùn)動(dòng)所面臨的情況的一個(gè)概要。
可怕的諷刺之處在于，盡管在我們的整個(gè)運(yùn)動(dòng)中，人們普遍認(rèn)為保守黨的攻擊造成了破壞，并一致認(rèn)為應(yīng)該停止這種破壞，但我們沒有團(tuán)結(jié)起來，形成一支有效的力量來對(duì)抗這些破壞，挑戰(zhàn)把這些破壞強(qiáng)加給我們階級(jí)的制度。
恰恰相反!我們的運(yùn)動(dòng)非但沒有團(tuán)結(jié)起來對(duì)抗我們共同的敵人，反而一次又一次地被內(nèi)部攻擊所轉(zhuǎn)移:這些攻擊可恥地瞄準(zhǔn)了那些勇敢地為執(zhí)行工黨和職工大會(huì)的政策而斗爭(zhēng)的部門，這些部門為挽救就業(yè)、工業(yè)、社區(qū)和服務(wù)而斗爭(zhēng)。
瑪格麗特·撒切爾(Margaret Thatcher)已經(jīng)非常清楚地認(rèn)識(shí)到她的敵人是社會(huì)主義，并公開宣布她打算把社會(huì)主義從英國(guó)的議程上抹去。
