This is the Socialist Party’s centennial year. A number of events to mark this have been planned for the coming months: meetings in Manchester, Glasgow and Birmingham as well as in London, production of a video, publication of a book of selected articles from the Socialist Standard, and special issues of the Socialist Standard in June and September.
A political and social event has been fixed for Saturday 12 June at Regent’s College, Regent’s Park, in central London (nearest tube: Baker Street). This will be an evening event, from 6pm to midnight, with a buffet meal and background music. There will be a cash bar. Other events are planned for the same weekend, including an outdoor meeting in Hyde Park.
It will be an occasion for members, sympathisers and ex-members from all over the country and from abroad to meet, talk and mark the SPGB’s hundred years of political activity for socialism. We expect a big turn-out.
To cover the cost of the meal and the music, we are suggesting a contribution of £20 but hope that those who can afford it will contribute more so as to cover the cost of those who might not be able to pay the full amount.
If you would like to attend this event please use the form below. Any money sent now will be acknowledged and the tickets forwarded in due course.
Cheques should be made payable to “The Socialist Party of Great Britain” and sent to
to the Centenary Committee, The Socialist Party of Great Britain, 52 Clapham High Street, London SW4 7UN.

are we the prisoners of our genes ?
the socialist party
New pamphlet in book form (50 pages) refuting the arguments of the biological and genetic determinists that a socialist society could not work “because it’s against human nature”. Shows how recent advances in the science of genetics have confirmed that humans are “genetically programmed” to be able to adopt a wide range of learned behaviours; that behavioural versatility and flexibility is a key feature of human biological nature; and that humans could therefore live in a peaceful, non-hierarchical, co-operative society of common ownership and democratic control.
Price £4 or, by post, £4.75. Six copies by post £19.
Cheques should be made payable to “The Socialist Party of Great Britain” and sent to: 52 Clapham High Street, London SW4 7UN.
