Introduction – who was Rosa Luxemburg?
The first event in our series on Rosa Luxemburg. Suggested reading for this session TBC!

Doors open from 6pm for a 6:30pm start.

———————————

Rosa Luxemburg was a Polish revolutionary socialist, Marxist and anti-war activist. She was a a key figure of the revolutionary socialist movements of Poland and Germany during the late 19th and early 20th century. She made significant contributions to socialist theory and knowledge including being the first theorist to identify ideas that developed into concepts such as imperialism, globalisation and the military industrial complex.

This seven week course will examine Rosa Luxembourg’s contribution to theory regarding economics, identity, militarism, strikes, and revolution, as well as exploring the context of her life. All are welcome, with little or no previous knowledge of her work. Each week we will identify a selection of her writing before the session so people can familiarise themselves, but we hope that people with a variety of levels of knowledge will attend.

These events will happen at 6:30pm on Tuesdays on Feb 6th, Feb 20th, Mar 5th, Mar 19th, Apr 2nd, Apr 16th, and Apr 30th.

Tickets are pay-what-you-can with a suggested minimum donation of £3.00 in order to help cover venue costs. There are some limited free tickets as well for comrades who will struggle to contribute this.
