Capitalism is monstrous, but how socialists should organise is a deeply contested question. These sessions will grapple with some of the big questions confronting revolutionary socialists today.

Capitalism is becoming ever more monstrous: driving inequality, environmental destruction, imperialist rivalry and the rise of the far right. Explore the crises and contradictions of a system that puts profit before people, and the forces capable of bringing it down.

These sessions will explore the causes of modern warfare, the growing rivalries between imperialist powers, and the resistance of people facing occupation and invasion.

These sessions will explore the resurgence of fascist movements and the far right, the social forces driving their growth and the threats they pose to workers, migrants and oppressed people.

From the mass struggles against fascism in the 1930s to contemporary resistance against the far right, antifascism has been central to working-class and liberation movements. These sessions will explore the history, politics and tactics of antifascist organising, and the strategies needed to build a powerful movement of resistance.
