CAN ELECTIONS BRING SOCIALISM?

Public Discussion Meeting on Reform versus Revolution

@ Hawkes Gym, Roman Road, Easton BS5.

Speaker: Sharon Foley

Why insist on the need for revolution? Surely, there must be a better way? Why not set out to elect socialist MPs who can legally and constitutionally vote in the principles of a new society? Wouldn't that be more in line with British political traditions? Wouldn't it save a lot of unnecessary violence?

But is it in fact the case that the real decisions that matter in our lives are made within state bodies? Where at the moment does the ruling power in our society really lie, and what force is capable of challenging it?

Come along and debate these vital questions for our movement.

Organised by Bristol SWP.
