Weekly Update #46

SWP Weekly Update

Hello comrades,

Welcome to this week's update from the Derby Socialist Workers' Party! Apologies for the lack of updates for the last week or so, this was for reasons beyond our control.

Branch Meetings

This Thursday there will not be a branch meeting, but branch meetings will resume as normal next week.

This Thursday we have a topical meeting, as it's Black History Month, Malcolm X, the Panthers and Black Power, a meeting that will look at the radical black power movements that erupted from the civil rights movement.

7 pm at the West End Community Centre, Thursday October 30th.

Next Thursday we will celebrate the world's only successful socialist revolution as it approaches its 97th anniversary. Why do we call the Russian revolution of 1917 a socialist revolution, how long did it remain a workers' state and why did it degenerate into state capitalist tyranny? Join the discussion and find out how we answer some or all of these questions in two weeks!

7 pm at the West End Community Centre, Thursday November 6th.
