Socialism 2025: How can Your Party be a party of working-class struggle and socialism?

Come to Socialism 2025

We live in a crisis-ridden system. How many of us find ourselves in perpetual despair at the state of the world? The genocidal war on Gaza, the declining state of our public services, the continued cost-of-living crisis and the attacks on democratic rights, to name just a few pressing issues.

Yet how many of us are armed with ideas about what can be done?

The mainstream political party conferences taking place this autumn definitely don’t provide any answers. Socialism 2025 is different. On the agenda at Socialism 2025 is a socialist programme for the issues we face: the housing crisis, NHS waiting lists, education cuts, discrimination and oppression, and the war on Palestine, to name a few.

It is also a forum for debate and discussion, where all those who want to change the world can come together to discuss the best means of achieving it. It will be an important congregation of organised trade unionists, socialist campaigners, students and activists.

Socialism 2025 takes place just two weeks before the proposed founding conference of Your Party. The centrepiece Saturday evening rally is entitled ‘How Your Party can be a party of working-class struggle and socialism’. Hearing from trade union leaders and socialists about the campaign to root Your Party in the powerful force of working-class struggle to best take on Starmer’s Labour and Farage’s Reform.

Every session at Socialism 2025 will point towards what the alternative to this rigged, crisis-ridden system is: socialism. There will also be a series of workshops offering a deeper dive into the ideas of great Marxist and socialist thinkers, as well as working-class history and lessons from previous struggles, including the Arab Spring.

So whether you are brand new to the ideas of socialism or a stalwart of fighting for socialist change, you need to be at Socialism 2025. It will be the antidote to despair and the best preparation for the tumultuous events looming in 2026.
