Talk notes - Corbyn & socialism

Economic and social context key

Financial crisis consequences with us still

-        Rate of profit key - not being addressed

-        Capitalist states thrown everything at it but not worked

-        Internal contradictions

-        Attacks on working class

-        Unjust and being resisted

-        Social democrats trying to do same with human face leads to rise of right - France Greece south America

-        Same in Wales and RCT

-         

socialism internationally with democratic state taking investment decisions for need not profit answer

Social transformation required

Policy and demands that wins workers and bridges where we are with the transformation needed

JC and JM need to do this started in his campaign

JC has moved debate from no to alternatives

Debate neo liberals thought was closed down by late 70s

Why they are so angry and cannot see beyond own propaganda eg Oldham

Historic opportunity it won't come around again very quickly!

But now bogged down with rearguard action

Need a programme
