debates
Bailouts, co-operatives or class struggle - a debate
A debate between Iain McKaye and the libcom group about an adequate workers' response to the credit crunch - should we advocate nationalisation, co-op's, or struggle?
The initial two articles were published simultaneously in Freedom newspaper, the latter responses were published online.
A participatory society or libertarian communism?
A debate over 'anti-capitalist vision' between the Project for a Participatory Society, proponents of Parecon, and the libcom.org group.
The debate is also available as a pdf and a print-ready pdf pamphlet.
Political debates with the libcom group
Links to discussions and debates from our forums which we believe are of interest.
The discussions below have taken place on our forums. We have generally selected them if they cover an issue of particular interest, or if the arguments in them help give a better idea of where the libcom group are coming from politically, and where we have disagreements with other particular trends or groups on the left or in the anarchist movement.
A Debate between Simon Pirani and Cyril Smith
This edited correspondence between two comrades who have participated actively in the International Socialist Forum will hopefully highlight some of the issues that have come up at the forum. The first letter was sent by Simon Pirani to Cyril Smith in April 1996, after the publication of Smith's book Marx At The Millenium. The second is Smith's response.
