The Red Dawn

Chapter 7 The Action

Adam felt a passion in his body. He felt a conviction in his soul. He felt a mission in his life.

He sat in the meeting room and listened to the speaker. He was the branch secretary of the Reading Socialist Party (CWI). He was also wearing a red T-shirt.

He looked at them with determination in his eyes. He spoke to them with clarity in his voice.

"Comrades...we are living in historic times...we are witnessing a social revolution..."

He explained to them the situation of the civil war.

He told them how it had started as a protest against the Tory government's austerity measures and Brexit deal, but had escalated into a full-scale uprising against the capitalist system and its institutions.

He told them how different forces had emerged and clashed in the conflict: Reds, Blues, Greens, Royals, Fascists, etc.

He told them how the Reds were composed of various socialist, communist, anarchist, and trade unionist groups who wanted to overthrow capitalism and establish a democratic socialist society based on workers' control and public ownership.

He told them how the Blues were loyal to the Tory government and its allies who wanted to preserve capitalism and its privileges for the ruling class.

He told them how the Greens were supporters of environmentalism and pacifism who wanted to end capitalism's destruction of nature and human life.

He told them how the Royals were followers of Prince Harry who wanted to restore monarchy as an alternative to capitalism's chaos.

He told them how the Fascists were fanatics of nationalism and racism who wanted to create a white supremacist state based on violence and terror.

He told them how each force had its own strengths and weaknesses, allies and enemies, strategies and tactics.

He told them how they had to be prepared for any scenario and any challenge.
