### Becoming Human Again: Political Education Seminar & Discussion

Capitalism is in decline, and its toll on our lives is undeniable. We currently face an existential threat from climate change, worsening physical and mental health, and declining life expectancy right here in the UK. But human nature is essentially social.

Join us to explore why communism is about far more than the working class taking control. It is the realisation of a society that is truly human. We will discuss why workers have no country, how global alienation makes revolution an essential human need, and why building a dedicated party to lead this movement is absolutely crucial. Sign up today and join the discussion.

This marks the soft launch of our education and discussion series, ‘ABC of Marxism’ and ‘Winning the battle of democracy: Campaign for a Democratic Socialist Party’.
