International Communist Current public forum
2pm 20 February,
Conway Hall, Red Lion Square, London WC1, nearest tube Holborn
How can internationalists respond to capitalist wars?
The illusions about Nobel Peace Prize winner Barack Obama are fading fast. Under his presidency, American imperialism is stepping up its military presence in Afghanistan and Pakistan, and surrounding Iran with a barrage of missiles. War is spreading throughout the Middle East, central Asia and the Horn of Africa. Meanwhile the ruling class in Britain is treating us to the spectacle of the Chilcot inquiry into the Iraq war, which is based on the ridiculous premise that imperialist massacres should conform to the niceties of international law.
This forum will discuss the real causes and aims of the wars currently ravaging the planet, with a particular focus on the title question: how can internationalists, the small but growing number of those who consistently oppose all capitalist wars, respond to this accelerating slide towards war?
Short presentation followed by open discussion. All welcome.
