The SWP crisis: socialism, democracy and feminism
A roundtable discussion with Tom Walker, Joan Smith and Cathy Nugent. 7pm, 27 February, ULU, Malet St, London WC1E 7HY.
A recording of the event in the relaunched AWL podcast The SWP crisis: socialism, democracy and feminism – a round-table discussion with Joan Smith and Cathy Nugent, 27th February 2013 We get a namecheck about 5:30 in.
Actually the first speaker is quite good on the early IS tradition. The ex-SPGBer she mentions will have been Wally Preston who left IS in the 1974 purge she mentions later on and who eventually rejoined us. There's a recorded talk by him on "Trotskyism" somewhere but I don't think it's on our site. We also have a member who was in IS at the time and say he was only one of two "workers" (ie non students) in his branch. No doubt true, as she more or less confirms. In the 1960s, the beginning of the time she's talking about, we were actually bigger than IS. What happened !
