Public Meeting in the Anarchist Bookfair London
Topic: Anarchism and Marxism
Marxists and anarchist have always shared the view that the antithesis to capitalism is a classless, stateless society. What they have not shared is a clear outline of how this might come about. After the statist cul de sacs of social democracy, Stalinism and Trotskyism many marxists now recognise that the issue is not about replacing the state but destroying it. After the failure of the anarchists in Spain many anarchists recognise that revolution from below cannot just be a nice idea but has to have a deeper material basis. With capitalism now in obvious crisis is this not the time for a more fruitful exchange on revolution and the state than has been possible in the past? The Communist Workers' Organisation and the Commune have already successfully posed this in the Sheffield Anarchist Bookfair and the CWO invite you to take the discussion further. All welcome.
Saturday 19 October 2.00 p.m in Room 2.41
The venue is Queen Mary, University of London, Mile End Road, London, E1 4NS. See anarchistbookfair.org.uk for map and how to get there.
