With the de-facto implosion of Your Party, many on the left are asking: where do we go from here? Join us online on Wednesday 3 June at 7pm to discuss how we actually build the mass, democratic socialist party the working class desperately needs.
The evening will kick off with an introduction by Ewan Tilly, author of the Marxist theory blog State & Confusion, followed by plenty of time for contributions and debate from the floor.
Disillusioned by recent setbacks, many socialists are tempted by the Green Party. However, while figures like Zack Polanski lean left, the Greens remain a party of ‘small capitalism’ attempting to appease the establishment (as seen in their stances on NATO and anti-imperialism). They have socialists in their ranks, but they are not a party for socialism.
Meanwhile, despite its lack of internal democracy, Your Party still holds 50,000 members who want a socialist alternative. Rather than walking away or rushing into a premature, disorganised split, we must organise.
This event soft-launches our Campaign to build a Democratic Socialist Party. Operating as a tendency within and outside of Your Party:
We cannot build a new party on our own. Whether you are in Your Party, a proto-branch, or simply looking for a genuine anti-capitalist alternative, your voice is needed.
