We do not have a fully functioning Audio-Visual Committee who might have been able to organise such a recording and the only party member reported to be going (other than Howard) is a member of Manchester Branch.https://www.meetup.com/The-Socialist-Party-of-Great-Britain/events/234370532/
Attendance of 23. Howard Moss argued that Gramsci saw human nature as fixed to the extent that people's behaviour could not possibly differ much from that under capitalism. People should accept the views of their leaders. Gramsci referred occasionally to abolishing the state and classes, but this was in no way part of his main emphasis. But it seemed to be agreed that Gramsci's writings could be read in a number of different ways. We sold £10.50 worth of Party literature.There was also some good music from the duo Barnsdale Hood, (guitar, banjo and vocals).
