by An Uprising against Inflation and Increasing Labor Unrest Confronts an Imploding Conservative Government – with Dave Hill
Recording of an international meeting, organized by RISE (Ireland), Lernen im Kampf (Germany) and Reform & Revolution – a Marxist caucus in DSA (USA) on October 22, 2022
A looming wave of labor unrest, protests against rising heating costs – societies in England and Wales as well as in Scotland are in ferment. The conservative government under prime minister Liz Truss tried to take on a Thatcher-ite mantle, while being haunted by a weak economy, dramatic inflation and the heritage of a crisis-ridden Boris Johnson administration. It imploded.
The Corbyn movement tried to build a political alternative to the Tories (Conservative Party) and the moderate, neo-liberal Labour leaders – without success. What’s the way forward now for working-class people and the socialist left?
Dave Hill, a revolutionary socialist, a member of Anti Capitalist Resistance as well as the Labour Left Alliance in Brighton & Hove, introduced the discussion. Dave was active in the Labour Party in the 1980s and again involved in Labour in the course of the Corbyn movement.
This international meeting, was organized by RISE (Ireland), Lernen im Kampf (Germany) and Reform & Revolution – a Marxist caucus in DSA (USA).
