SPGB now online in Discord – Audio talks – Meetings – Debates

SPGB now online in Discord – Audio talks – Meetings – Debates
And of course visitors are very welcome too, and are free to join any online Discord meeting just as they would be free to attend any physical meeting by the Socialist Party or its companion parties. This is a great opportunity to chat to socialists from around the world without leaving your house!
And if anyone is thinking of joining, having a live chat about it with members is much more fun and informative than simply filling in a form on the website.
If you’d like to drop in and chat to us online, or come to one of our talks or other events, just contact Discord Admin for special invite or email spgb@worldsocialism.org.

Check our Audio page for some recordings of these talks.
Note: ’Online audio talks have occasionally been patchy due to heavy internet traffic during virus lockdowns, but please don’t give up listening as the interference is only temporary’.
