Why we need communism
Lunchtime meeting at Tent City University, Finsbury Square, London EC2
Wednesday 11 April, 2012, 1pm -3pm
Introduced by Alan Ward, author of the book Communism is not just a nice idea, published by the International Communist Current
We need communism – not the state capitalist nightmare of Stalinism but a global human community without states, markets or money – because:
–capitalism, as a world-wide system of production, can offer us no future except crisis, war and ecological catastrophe
–this system cannot be reformed or made more ‘democratic’
–at the same time, the possibility of producing and living for our real needs already exists
Come and discuss why we need a completely new society and how we can get there
