We live in a world in crisis. Runawayclimate change threatens the sustainability of life of earth.
We’re also seeing a growth in racist forces, a rise in transphobia, institutional sexism and attacks on abortion rights. 20 years of the war on terror has led to chaos in the Middle East.
In Britain we face a severe economic crisis, exacerbated by the pandemic, where the Tories want students and working class people to pay.
On university campuses, profit is put ahead of students at every turn.
But that’s not the whole picture.
We’ve also seen inspiring resistance.
The #BlackLivesMatter movement has swept the globe challenging the legacy of empire and slavery.
Against all the odds, the movement in solidarity with Palestine continues to resist.
And we have seen huge protests demand action on climate change.
Mass resistance points the way to a different kind of society, where people and the planet are put before profit.
Socialism is the idea that we can build a sustainable society and there is an alternative to the chaos of capitalism and the problems caused by it.
It is a vision of the world free of oppression and exploitation.
*But can it work?
*How do we get there?
*Is it possible in
Britain?
Join our meeting at Hyde Park book Club on the 7th October to discuss these questions and more.
