In the present conjuncture all our mass work must respond to the necessity of stimulating and strengthening a response to the attempt of the Government and the employers to extend the success they achieved on 25 November to the social sphere.
Our work in the workers commissions and the trade unions in the present phase must be oriented primarily in this direction. To assure the maintenance and revitalisation of the workers commissions so that they fully and as rapidly as possible again assume their function as embryonic organs of dual power in the context of a new workers upsurge, it is necessary that the workers commissions take on concrete functions in the daily struggle to defend the conquests of the workers.
To the extent that they accomplish this function, they will be able to assert their role as the backbone of the emergence of a situation of dual power. Thus, today we must carry out mass work aimed at developing me response to une austerity plan, lending the workers commissions a decisive role in this counter. attack. This is the basis of the link between our trade union work and our activity in the autonomous organs.
In this perspective, the establishment of a situation of dual power and even the strengthening, extension and independence of the autonomous organs of the workers vis-a -vis the bourgeois state apparatus requires that priority be placed on the struggle for the development, generalisation and expansion of the workers commssiOns The strengthening of the workers commissions means the effective strengthening of the independent organisation of the class, the development of workers control, the raising of the consciousness of the proletariat; this implies the development of conditions for proletarian hegemony in the local coordinating bodies of the workers commissions, neighbourhood commissions, ete. = In all une organs that permit the alliance of the proletariat with intermediary layers of the population and that prefigure soviets.
The strengthening of workers control through the workers commissions enables the workers to broach the economic problems with the perspective of their being resolved by the working class itself through the coordination of the workers commissions at the local branch level and through the coordination of the workers commissions with the neighbourhood commissions.
Thus we can say that the strategic objective of our intervention in the factories is the stimulation, centralisation and extension of the workers commissions and the combination of this work with intervention in the trade unions.
