We live in a world of war, racism, oppression and exploitation. We are told that this is as good as it gets and no fundamental alternative system is possible.

Those who seek to defend the current system will point to the experience of Russia from the revolution of 1917 and argue that its outcome of the gulag and mass repression was bound to happen. It argues that the horror of Stalinism was a natural progression from Lenin and the Bolsheviks. This meeting will challenge that analysis.

All welcome. Hosted by Bristol Socialist Workers Party.

What to expect at this meeting
An informal, friendly and welcoming atmosphere, in which a speaker will initially introduce the main topic before we break into smaller group discussion. Then we’ll come back together again for a wider discussion and questions followed by a summing up. The second section of the meeting involves a more practical focus on current activities and campaigns. There will also be a bookstall and publicity for upcoming events.
