Home | The Socialist 30 June 2005 | Join the Socialist Party Socialism 2005Socialism 2005 is an opportunity for anyone who is angry at the poverty and inequality in society to come together to debate socialist ideas. We will be looking at past and present struggles of the working class and the lessons we can learn from them. We live in a society where a tiny minority of fat-cat billionaires own and control almost everything from factories to TV stations and football teams. In such a world, it would be naive to imagine there is freedom of information and ideas. Newspapers, TV, colleges and schools all claim to be neutral givers of information. In fact, we are given an overwhelmingly one-sided view - that poverty and deprivation are inevitable and that capitalism is the only way of organising society. We are told nothing of the millions who are fighting back against privatisation and neo-liberalism across the globe. Hosted by the Socialist Party, Socialism 2005 will discuss ideas to guide the struggle for change. Our members are campaigning against NHS cuts, for free education, against privatisation, and on many other issues. We are fighting for an end to the rule of profit, for a democratic socialist society and economy run to meet everyone's needs. You don't have to be a socialist, or agree with everything we say, to take part and enjoy Socialism 2005. If you want to hear a different side of the story - come along.
