What is
Socialism?
An outline of socialist
theory and practice.Elementary guidlines.
What are the
differences between the Socialist Party and other political parties and
organisations claiming to be socialist?
With
the failure of the Left to capitalise on their "reformist shift" in
recent years, even with some positions in the various Houses of
Representation,are there any lessons real revolutionaries might take
from this.
If so what are they, and how might they instruct our efforts
to bring socialist ideas to the general public?.
The last
discussion looked at various strands of Anarchism.
This month we had an in-depth look at Trotsky with some more to come

DAY SCHOOL FOR 12th MAY 2007
Click image above or link below to view leaflet.
|
|
This was another
successful Day school.
To account, and remember people were coming and going is 13 Glasgow
members, 3 Edinburgh members, 6 other members and 6 non-members. The
collection of £127.15 will go towards paying £60.00 for the
hall rent, £5 refreshments and £65 speaker's accommodation.
That means that Edinburgh and Glasgow branches put on a
worthwhile school that cost us £2.85. We should mention that one
ex-member donated £50.
We also think that we might consider a winter day school. Perhaps
in Edinburgh? Perhaps in Falkirk? Perhaps in Ayr? Watch this
space. |
