''For more than 40 years the global imperialist system has been in an insoluble crisis. Throughout all the peaks and troughs the capitalists have tried to restore profitability at the expense of the working class.

The Brexit decision means that the British, European and other imperialist powers will all seek to maximise their opportunities to maintain their exploitative positions. Recent months have seen a renewed round of attacks on the working class in Britain - assaults and even murder against ''non-British'' workers, massive cuts in accessible health care, insecure wage slavery where even employed workers are increasingly reliant on the dwindling welfare benefits and Food Banks. The meeting will provide a forum to explore that reality and how it flows from the crisis of the bosses' rotten system.''
