At the beginning of the 21st century humanity faces poverty, war and environmental destruction. We have to seize the opportunity to put an end to the barbarity of capitalism and fight to create a different kind of society.

There has rarely been a better or a more necessary time to show that another world is possible; that revolutionary change can produce something dramatically different than the war, racism and environmental de...gradation that surround us.

But what is the way forward? How do we fight to win a better world? What does it mean to be a revolutionary?

Join us at this one-day conference to discuss and debate these issues and more.
