Barricade

Barricade supporters' meeting

Submitted on

Date: 
23 January, 2011 - 12:00 - 15:00
Location: 

Central London (TBA)

Description: 

Barricade is a socialist youth zine launched by young members and supporters of Workers' Liberty.

We're hosting a meeting for anyone who's seen, read or sold copies of Barricade and is interested in getting involved. No prior political experience is necessary - just a healthy contempt for the rich.

If you want a forum where you can discuss ideas and activism with other young people, Barricade is for you. Come along to the meeting to discuss:

* The ideas behind the zine
* Your experiences in the recent student movement and where it's headed
* Ideas for future content in the zine
* Which YouTube viral sensation of 2010 was funniest (maybe not actually that'll probably be a waste of time)
* Anything else

For more info see www.workersliberty.org/barricade, email barricade@workersliberty.org or ring Ed on 07775 763750 or Daniel on 07961 040618 (they work in the Workers' Liberty office and are responsible for designing and printing Barricade, so if you don't like the look of the thing, it's probably their fault.)

The question of how to respond to religion, and the fact that a lot of working-class people (particularly in the so-called “developing world”) hold religious beliefs, has been a tricky issue for revolutionaries for... well, forever really.

Why we walked out

"On 20 October, when the spending review was announced, there was a negative attitude in our Sixth Form common room. People were beginning to realise that the next five years weren't going to be easy.

A lot of the press coverage of the student struggles has focused on the “violent” aspects of our actions (smashing a few windows at Millbank, a few folk going a bit nuts and kicking in a bus-stop or two, a police van getting a little battered and spray-painted, a few others bits and bobs getting broken).

For many readers and film enthusiasts, it will be the end of an era when the much-loved characters of the Harry Potter series grace the screen one last time in the second part of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
