A full day of discussion and debate on key aspects of Marxist theory and

change it!
Topics will cover some of the questions and arguments that face today�s
activists, including:
Doesn�t this new era defy a Marxist understanding of the world?
Can Marxism explain the war drive of Bush, Blair and Howard, and how is
Lenin�s theory of imperialism still relevant?
But you socialists are such asmall minority in society, what role could
you possibly play?
We address the question: Is Socialist Alternative a Party or a
Propaganda Group?
Why are the unions in such a mess?
Discuss the politics of the Accord and its impact on unions.
What the hell are �surplus value� and the �declining rate of profit�,
and what do they have to do withme?!
Get your head around capitalist exploitation in ourintroduction to
Marxist economics.
And what about Russia? Didn�t Lenin just lead to Stalin?
Come along and find out why thehorrors of the USSR were anything but the
natural outcome of revolution.
