All Welcome!
MIS 2014 is a one day, action oriented, conference for socialists, campaigners and activists from across Scotland and beyond.
Check out the excellent line-up of speakers, topics, workshops,
discussions and debates in the Marxism in Scotland 2014 final programme
out now!!! (see attached)
On the 18th September, 1.6 million people (45% of
voters) in Scotland voted yes to independence. It was a truly historic
referendum result with 97% of eligible voters registered and an 85%
turnout, breaking all existing voting records in British history.
Although the referendum result narrowly rejected independence, Scottish voters gave the British ruling class the
fright of its life—and politics in Scotland will never be the same
again.
The genie is out of the bottle! There is a new movement
that has emerged from the independence campaign. A movement with a
positive vision for the future and the ideas, the creativity and the
potential to transform Scotland.
Last year over 250 socialists,
campaigners and activists attended Marxism in Scotland. This year's
event takes place just 3 weeks after the independence
referendum result and one week before the major anti-austerity
demonstrations in both Glasgow and London.
Come along and be
part of a fantastic day of sharing experiences, political discussions,
debates, strategy and tactics with local, national and international
speakers on how we can maintain the momentum of the movement and take forward the struggle for a better world.
Hope to see you there,
Josh Brown
