Saturday 30th April

 11am to 6pm,
 Trinity Centre 

Trinity Rd,

Bristol, BS2 0NW.

Just something to bear in mind for next year. There is a meeting about the very non-anarchist Rosa Luxemburg and then there is a discussion on Trotskyism by Workers Liberty, most definitely not an anarchist organisation.   

Perhaps if we have the people and resources locally, we shoud have a stall and also host a meeting, using this as a precedent.

How is it the AWL are allowed to do a talk on 'Introducing the 'Other Trotskyism'' at 11am?

We do in fact have people on the ground on or near there and, as the organisers of "Anarchist" book fairs outside Londonn are less dogmatic, we probably could have had a stall there had we asked in time.Much more interesting than the Trot meeting (haven't the AWL entered the Labour Party?) is this meeting at 11am on so-called Tax Justice by Critistocffs who are once again on the ball:

Quote:

It is common for people who object to State services and social security payments being reduced to point an outraged finger at the tax arrangements of Google or Facebook. While we agree with opposing the ongoing programme of impoverishment, we think such calls for tax justice are not helpful. In this workshop we want to discuss what taxes are and what they teach us about the nature of the State and this society. Based on that we want to present our critique of tax justice campaigns and why instead of offering a way out of socially produced poverty, their success depends on it: taxing successful capitalist corporations presupposes their success.
