Lalitmauritius Lalit Mauritius LALIT is a very unusual party. It has stubbornly survived, now heading for its 50th anniversary, and it has done this by always renewing itself successfully. With the mass uprisings in North Africa and the Middle East giving new impetus to struggles against capitalism world-wide, LALIT’s politics have come to seem eminently “possible”. From its foundation in 1976 as a left “free-expression monthly magazine”, it has developed by 2011 into a thriving party, which has recently accelerated its campaign for an “alternative political economy”. This was necessary because Mauritius is falling into a systemic crisis, with the collapse of sugar prices in a society socially and politically organized for 200 years around sugar. And, as other left parties in Mauritius have risen and fallen over the decades, most often disappearing into oblivion one after the other, LALIT has not only persisted but also grown in stature. LALIT’s longevity is probably due to the objective fact that LALIT was the political leadership of the country’s two biggest ever mass movements, the August 1979 general strike movement and the September 1980 mass uprising. It is one of those parties that bears the memory of working class struggles and other stories of rebellion within its structures. Over recent years, LALIT has integrated its internationalism into its day-to-day struggles in a more coherent way, with demonstrations against the Israeli State, with members going to Palestine, reporting back; with international conferences against militarism; with groups working on geo-politics, understanding Afghanistan and Pakistan, for example, post assassination of Bin Laden; with members going on international brigades to Cuba and Venezuela and reporting back from there. LALIT, as well as its web-site has a magazine that comes out once every two months, some 40 pages in A-4 format, almost entirely in the peoples’ language, Mauritian Kreol. Its 100th number bears witness to its sustainability.
