Anarchy and Socialism
Is
a Third World War Inevitable ?
It's in two parts - the first is Steve Coleman's talk, and the 2nd contains the discussion plus a 3 minute interview the next day on local radio. It's been converted from tape cassette, so the sound
quality isn't ideal but it's perfectly listenable

Talks from the 1982 'Socialist Thinkers – People Who History Made'
lecture series.
The speaker/lecturer is Steve Coleman, the socialist thinker under
discussion is Ernest Belfort Bax.
Down
the years, Bax is someone who has been pretty much written out of the
history of the nineteenth century British Socialist Movement.
Whilst
Hyndman is always on hand to take on the role of the Victorian villain
for the failure of the Marxist Left in Britain for not fully
integrating into the wider Labour Movement, and William Morris gets
rediscovered every generation via a new biography and/or a new
exhibition at the Victoria and Albert Museum, Bax, who was a comparable
heavyweight figure in the Social Democratic Federation in the 1880s and
was a major player - alongside Morris, Aveling and Eleanor Marx - in
the Socialist League split from the SDF in 1885, if he is known at all,
is best known these days for his virulent anti-feminism in the latter
years of his political life, and his capitulation to British chauvinism
at the outbreak of the First World War.
