As the capitalist class spreads war and violence around the world, the polarization of wealth and poverty is reaching unprecedented proportions. The economic revolution is taking our country toward a critical juncture. In brief, the world is moving rapidly toward a global depression and another world war. We are confronted with the reality of a fascist America — the merging of the corporations with the State to impose the direct dictatorship of the corporations on society. This will get much worse very quickly. The workers are going into battle ideologically and politically unarmed. The struggle cannot advance without the clarity that class-conscious revolutionaries bring to the front. It is imperative that we centralize the League politically, disperse it organizationally, and build it as rapidly as we can to prepare for what is coming.
The situation in the world is changing so rapidly and so dramatically that a Convention is needed order to centralize politically around the current situation and to organize the League as the situation dictates.
Therefore, LRNA’s Resident Standing Committee calls for a National Convention in June 2014 in Chicago, Illinois.
