Fear and Loathing in Capitalism: Asbos,
terrorists and immigrants.
1pm -
2. 15 pm
Asbos, Chavs and Hoodies: crime under capitalism.
The newspapers and television constantly
set out to frighten us with
tales of hooliganism,anti-social behaviour and crime in general. In
this session we attempt to evaluate the various claims and counter
claims about the cause and cure of crime in modern society. We put
forward the unique socialist analysis and contrast it with the
“hang’’em,flog’’em” school of thought.
2.15- 3.30pm
Seeking Asylum: should we be concerned about immigration?
In France Le Pen puts forward a
repressive “solution”, in this country
Cameron and Brown have voiced their views, but capitalism needs
immigration and we
look at the problem from a socialist viewpoint. Inside a socialist
society there
would be no “them and us” attitude. The whole world would be owned by
the
whole world population, in such a society concepts such as “asylum”
would be
impossible.
3.30 - 3.45pm
tea break
3.45
- 5pm
Panic on the streets of London: how real is the terrorist threat?
The explosions on the London Underground
were real enough, as were some
recent failed attempts at bombing there, but has recent government
reaction been justified?
We look at current attitudes to this problem
and contrast the socialist view with those of our political opponents.
Capitalism is a society based on threats and counter-threats. Only
world-wide socialism can solve the problem.
Each session will have a 30 minute talk, the rest of the time will be
taken up with your questions and points of view.
Admission is free and tea, coffee and light refreshments will be made
available free of charge throughout the afternoon.
Community Central Halls,
304 Maryhill Road, Glasgow.
