DAY SCHOOL FOR SATURDAY 13 MAY 2006 In the Community Central Halls, 314 Maryhill Road. THE CHANGING FACE OF CAPITALISM 1.00pm to 2.15pm WHAT NEXT FOR THE TRADE UNIONS? The trade union movement has played an important part in the development of working class ideas, but now it finds itself in a crisis. Its political product the Labour Party has proven to be just another capitalist party. Brian Gardner (Glasgow Branch) considers the dilemna that it faces with the worsening of pension conditions and the insecuruty of modern technology. 2.15pm to 3.30pm THE DEATH OF THE LEFT? The demise of the Russian and eastern European Communist Parties has led to a crisis on the so-called left. Various Leninist and Trotskyist groups claim to be socialist organisations. In this talk Paul Bennett (Manchester Branch) deals with their claims and offers the alternative of World Socialism with its rejection of leadership and the reform of capitalism. 3.30pm to 5.00pm CAPITALISM? KID'S STUFF In this session we play a 50 minute DVD that likens the development of capitalism to a children's nursery. We examine how ownership gives rise to the state and all its coercive forces. We look at alternative ways of running society. We look at a moneyless, tradeless alterrnative to the profit system. This DVD was devised by and features Paddy Shannon (Lancaster Branch) He will deal with your questions and ideas. |
