Militant on the Falklands War, 1982
Extract from an article by Militant (now the Socialist Party) demonstrating their support for Britain in the Falklands War.
Militant International Review No22, June 1982 wrote:
The labour movement should be mobilised to force a general election to open the way for the return of a Labour government to implement socialist policies at home and abroad. Victory of a socialist government in Britain would immediately transform the situation in relation to the Falklands. The junta would no longer be able to claim to be fighting British imperialism ... A Labour government could not just abandon the Falklanders and let Galtieri get on with it. But it would continue the war on socialist lines.
The SP don't even seem to be ashamed of this episode - the article was reproduced in its entirety 25 years later:
