* Is it possible?
* How do we win it?
* What does the working class have to do with it?
A discussion meeting organised by South London Workers’ Liberty
Is capitalism, with huge riches for a tiny minority and low wages, cuts and misery for the majority, the only way of organising society?
What does "socialism" mean? How would it be different from capitalism? Would it be like Cuba or the old Soviet Union?
In the context of a Tory government of millionaires making huge cuts, there are likely to be big strikes and struggles by working-class people to fight back. What does this have to do with the goal of socialism?
Workers’ Liberty uses “socialism” to mean a system of democratic cooperation which provides for people’s needs and not for the profits of the rich – a system which can only be won by the struggles and self-liberation of the working class.
Before the discussion, we will also be showing a short film about the miners’ strike of 1984-5, which almost defeated and brought down Margaret Thatcher’s government.
Whether or not socialist politics is new to you, whether or not you’ve been to a meeting like this before, come and join the discussion. All welcome.
