"All are welcome, bring a friend but Party/Sect dogma outside"...
...unless your party/sect is that sorry excuse for a political system, known as Communism, in which case you can bring it inside.

Joke?

If communism is a joke, what does that make capitalism, answer - a system where millions have no job, no home, no health care and where millions of human beings in developing countries die from hunger.
No humour involved!!!!

i think they want a non-sectarian debate

i had a lot of problems with the former ussr & "socialist" states, but i recognise a lot of good was also swept away when they fell (viaducts, railways & socialised child care etc).

in some of these states, the mafia are now effectively in control.

anyway, joe moore is a principled trade unionist, socialist & anti charges campaigner who has gone to prison for his beliefs. which is more than can be said about a lot of people on indy.

Some questions?

Will people be able to bring up the flaws of Stalinism and mention the need for the revolution to be international?

Will we be able to bring up the fact that former CPs around Europe are indistinguishable from Social Democracy?
