Jim dedicated the greater part of his adult life to the fight for socialism. He was won to the program of Trotskyism in the early 1970s, and he played an important role in developing a base of support for the movement among a key section of industrial workers.
Socialism is a democratic society run for the needs of all and not the profits of a few. Socialists oppose every cut, fighting in our day-to-day campaigning for every possible improvement for working class people.
