LABOURING IN VAIN - Everyone from Roy Hattersley to Tony Benn berate
Blair's New Government for abandoning the founding principles of the
Labour Party and the wider Labour movement. Darren O'Neil, in giving a
brief history of the Labour Party, details the continuous thread running
all throuhg the history of the Labour Party; from MacDonald to Blair, from
Snowden to Brown, a Party commited to the smooth running of capitalism.
LENINISM IN PRACTICE - The recent "anti-globalisation demos around the
world have seen the reappearance of "vanguardist chic", with T-Shirts and
banners reviving Che Guevara and Mao Tse-Tung as icons of the revolution.
Ten years after the collapse of the Soviet Union, and eighty years after
Krondstadt, Rob Worden will speak on the October Revolution, an historical
example of Leninism in practice.
THE SOCIALIST PARTY - Dick Donnely, speaking on the history of the
Socialist Party, reveals that thin red line of revolutionary socialism
which consistently gone beyond the elitism of Leninism and the dead end
sterility of Labourism.
