Ongoing Study Circle — Lessons from history: A guide to occupying the planet
Socialist Feminism and The Revolutionary Party
As struggle around the globe continues to focus attention on the system of mass oppression known as capitalism, join us in a fascinating historical examination of how the workers’ movement has tackled the very question of how working people can take control of our planet. By midway through the 19th century it was obvious that, just as capitalism had become global in its reach, so the working peoples of the earth had to organise across national boundaries.
It’s a great time to join this ongoing study circle. Having discussed lessons of the First, Second, Third and Fourth Internationals we’re embarking on Socialist Feminism and The Revolutionary Party by Andrea Bauer, editor of the Freedom Socialist newspaper. This in-depth explanation of why Marxist feminism, embodied in a revolutionary party, is the contemporary answer to the crisis of capitalism is rich in political theory and both historical and contemporary examples. Adopted as the Freedom Socialist Party political resolution at the party’s July 2010 national convention, this study will be of particular interest to those curious to find out more about the Freedom Socialist Party.
Commences Monday 24 June 2013 7:00pm
