Socialist Book Club - Reform or Revolution
6-8pm, Tuesday 28 October @ Red Flag Books, 83 Sydney Road Brunswick
Join us at Red Flag Books on the last Tuesday of every month to discuss key Marxist texts. Whether you're new to Socialist politics, or a veteran revolutionary, everybody is welcome.
This October, we'll discuss Rosa Luxemburg's Reform or Revolution. Every generation of socialists has to grapple with the key question: how can capitalism be abolished? In this brilliant book Rosa Luxemburg explains why capitalism cannot be defeated through gradual reforms, and must instead be smashed in a revolutionary struggle. She also puts forward one of the earliest and clearest expositions of the Marxist attitude to the fight for reforms, the state, liberal democracy, and the character of the working class revolution.
