After making the mistake last year of attempting to read Gramsci’s Prison Notebooks, this year we have decided to start the year by reading From Class Society to Communism: An Introduction to Marxism by the legendary Belgian Trotskyist Ernest Mandel. The book appears to be a readable introduction to the ideas of communism and we shall be discussing two chapters each fortnight.
If you would like to attend, please try to read and print off Chapter 1: Social Inequality and Social Struggle Throughout History and Chapter 2: The Economic Sources of Social Inequality. If you can’t print off a hard copy, contact us and we will try to supply you with one.

We shall be meeting in Meeting Room 2 or 3 (on the top floor of the University of Manchester Student’s Union). On Tuesday the 12th of October at 6pm, hope to see you there!
