Following the successful meeting we had last year, the
International Communist Current invites you to a second day of discussion in London, on
22 June 2013.
The morning session will be a discussion around the theme:
Capitalism is in deep trouble – why is
it so hard to fight against it?
In this session, we will consider questions such as: is it
accurate to say that capitalism is in terminal decline? What
is really at stake in the struggle of the working class to
defend itself? What are the main obstacles to the
development of the struggle?
We have published a great deal about the crisis in our press
but we recommend the following one to give a general
overview of the situation confronting capitalism:

Regarding the problem of responding to the crisis, we think
the following article, and the discussion on our internet
forum that it stimulated, provide a good starting point:

http://en.internationalism.org/forum/1056/fred/5293/why-it-so-difficult-struggle-and-how-can-we-overcome-these-difficulties
In the afternoon we are planning to organise a discussion
around the theme:
How do we get from capitalism to communism?
What does a revolution look like? What is the
‘dictatorship of the proletariat’? How can
capitalist relations of production be overturned? How will
the working class deal with the huge problems posed by
capitalism’s destruction of the environment?
As with last year’s meeting, we hope that the
presentations will be given by comrades who are not ICC
members.
We think that these discussions will be of interest to
comrades in or around revolutionary political organisations,
to people who have been actively involved in the class
struggle, and to anyone asking questions about the nature
and future of present-day society – and about the
feasibility of getting rid of it.
If you are interested in attending, please let us know in
advance, especially if you have any accommodation, transport
or other problems that might make it difficult for you to
come along.
The venue is upstairs at the Lucas Arms, 245a Grays Inn
Road, London WC1X 8QZ. The first session will go from 11-2
and the afternoon session from 3-6. We will arrange for food
at lunch time but we are also planning to go to a nearby
restaurant after the meeting. Attendance is free but we will
ask for contributions for food and the room.
