Manchester Class Struggle Forum: Anarcho-Syndicalism

The next meeting of the Manchester Class Struggle Forum will be on the subject of Anarcho-Syndicalism.

What is anarcho-syndicalism? How do anarcho-syndicalist unions differ from existing workers' organisations? Do anarcho-syndicalist strategies have any value in 21st Century Britain, or are they 80 years out of date and several countries out of place? Or are anarcho-syndicalist strategies the tool we need to fight back in a period of savage cuts and declining living standards?

The forum will be introduced by a speaker from Manchester Solfed, with open discussion to follow and an open literature table.

Monday 19th July, 7 PM, Friends Meeting House, Mount Street, Manchester
