The PCF trade union bureaucrats want us to believe that they're for action. Their leftism only covers up their intention to keep control of the movement, to wear it down and sink it. At Sochaux, Lyon and Brest workers booed the Stalinist bureaucrats who preached quiescence and passivity. There must be no confidence in these servants of the bosses in disguise. Spreading the strike will be the work of those workers who, en masse, will go to other factories and call on them to elect strike committees which will be organised in a central strike committee.
Inflation is rampant.
The capitalist ship is leaking everywhere. The lot of the working masses gets worse every day. It is Ramadier who has taken all the anti-working class measures on behalf of the bourgeoisie. Thorez remained vice-president of the Cabinet, Croizat, Minister of Labour and Marcel Paul, Minister of Industrial Production, all in the governments whether of De Gaulle, Gouin, Bidault or Ramadier. And today, after this disastrous experience, the PCF advocates that its ministers re-enter the government with the PS and bourgeois ministers.
