Agenda

26 Oct Oxford Public Meeting

COMMUNISM NOT CORBYNISM

PUBLIC MEETING/DISCUSSION

Working class people have seen their living conditions under attack for many years. In Britain, benefits continue to be slashed, people work in increasingly precarious situations and are not being paid enough to cover their food bills. Homeless people are sleeping rough in every town and city, health services are creaking at the seams and schools are not given enough resource to buy basic necessities. Life for many is turning into a living nightmare while the loan sharks and drug pushers leech off the most vulnerable. These hardships are no accident but flow directly from the crisis of the bosses’ system, capitalism.

For the boss class any hardship, war or ecological disaster is worthwhile as they desperately try to boost their profits. This grim situation has developed whether Parliament and the Town Halls are filled with Tory or Labour. Hoping that we will be fooled by “old wine in new bottles” Momentum has dragged many desperate people back into the deceit that electing well-meaning representatives can somehow challenge the horrors of capitalism. Organising ourselves to start a fight back has never been more important. If we want to start on the road to a better future then we have to make sure sure that the Labour Party and their hangers on don’t lock us into the bosses’ system.

Join us to discuss these ideas and the way forward.

When: Saturday, 26 October 2019, at 3pm

Where: Hall Garden Room, St. Hilda's College, Oxford, OX4 1DY

Recent publications

Gramsci between Marxism and Idealism

Written by Onorato Damen

"The present volume is the product of Damen’s considerations on Gramsci’s shortcomings as an analytical and practical Marxist which he evidently wrote over a period of years. The structure is loose because he died before he completed it and the draft chapters were only discovered posthumously and eventually published in 1982."

The book can be ordered by emailing us at uk@leftcom.org and asking for our banking details, by donating the cost of the publications required via Paypal using the “Donate” button, or via Amazon (amazon.co.uk).

Bordiga Beyond the Myth

Written by Onorato Damen

"The originality and importance of this volume – in a expanded edition including new documents and editorial notes, from the two previous editions: 1971 and 1977 – mainly lies in the documents that throw permanent light on the distinctive development and perspectives of the “Italian Left” over decades (among the most tragic in modern history) in the history of international communism."

Class Consciousness and Revolutionary Organisation

The issue of “consciousness” is one of the most important for the working class and for revolutionaries. Our approach is unashamedly historical and attempts to draw out the real experience of the working class in its struggles of the last two centuries.
