 SOCIALISM: DREAM OR REALITY?

 Saturday 14th May 1pm to 5pm



1.00 to 2.15pm:   The Dream of Socialism

Ever since the break-up of primitive society the notion of a society without
owners and non-owners has persisted. The dream of a more equalitarian
society has persisted through the ages. Dick Donnelly (Glasgow Branch)
considers some of these ideas and how they relate to modern society, with
its hard-nosed attitude towards human behaviour.

2.15 to 3.30pm:   Can We Abolish World Hunger?

It is reckoned that millions of workers are dying inside capitalism. Paul
Bennett (Manchester Branch) asks how do socialists cope with the notions of
anti-globalisation and single-issue politics? In a world where war and world
starvation is the norm how can a human being deal with the nastiness of
modern society and offer an alternative?

3.30 to 4.45pm:   Is There An Alternative To Socialism?

In this session Brian Gardner (Glasgow Branch) looks at various attempts to
patch up capitalism. He pays particular attention to recent notions about
anti-globalisation and attempts to deal with world hunger through various
ideas about taxation and wiping out debts. How practical are these ideas?

Tea, coffee and light refreshments will be available during the sessions

At all these sessions a speaker will open up for 20 minutes and the rest of
the session will be taken up with questions and discussion.
