Event: May ’68 and its lessons
London Communist Forum
The next LCF is on Saturday, May 25 from 12 noon in the Lucas Arms, Grays Inn Rd, WC1X (Kings Cross tube). The theme of the meeting is May ’68 and its lessons and - while we are yet to confirm all the details of this - the speaker for the CPGB will be Mike Macnair.
Important elements of the leadership of the contemporary revolutionary left cut their political teeth in this period and still, in many ways, work to a template drawn from it. Yet, as Mike has written, “an interpretation of 1968 has shaped the dominant politics of the modern far left - and led it into a blind alley. The events of the year 1968 were not, except in a very limited sense, a 1905, a dress rehearsal for a coming 1917 revolution of similar shape (either globally or in Europe). Rather, they were the upshot of the policies and political dynamics of the cold war, and part of the causes of the turn of international capital away from these policies”
