Have just returned from Marxism 2011, a huge left-wing festival in London. Over 4,500 people turned up this year, inspired by events all round the world. The atmosphere was electric. I have made contact with the Norwich SWP which will means I shall be able to attend future events in Norwich. The event was given a further shot in the arm by the strike action which took place just before it started. A running theme through the event was calls for a general strike (“name the day”). Attending and enjoying this event was another little landmark in my personal journey of recovery from the problems I had in 2005.
That’s brilliant stuff! Did you catch up with anyone there?
Hi Theo
Yes I did catch up with a number of people at Marxism, mainly from Barnsley, but also a couple of old Tooting comrades and someone who was South Wales District Organiser when I joined the party.
