Following our successful series of talks on political organisation over the summer, where we looked at series of communist political organisations (Komunist Kranti in India, Potere Operario in Italy and finally at Big Flame in England), the commune is hosted a series of discussion forums on revolutionary syndicalism.
The first meeting in this series is:
Monday, November 15, 7pm: Revolutionary Syndicalism in Britain and the Industrial Syndicalist Education League: 1910-1930
The Industrial Syndicalist Education League was a syndicalist organisation formed in 1910 by Tom Mann and Guy Bowman. Its first conference was attended by 200 delegates representing 60,000 workers. Unlike syndicalists in other countries it never formed a syndicalist union but rather pushed syndicalist politics and tactics through the existing labour movement. In September 1913, it hosted the First International Syndicalist Congress at Holborn Town Hall which was attended by delegates from many if not most of the world revolutionary and anarcho-syndicalist organisations. Donnacha DeLong, an NUJ activist who is part of an initiative to form a new Industrial Syndicalist Education League, will give a lead of to this discussion on revolutionary syndicalism in Britain at the start of the twentieth century.
All meetings will be held in The Artillery Arms,102 Bunhill Row,London, EC1Y 8ND
