Some thoughts on this years theme: "If capitalism collapsed tomorrow would we be ready? It’s hard to plan for an uncertain future, as we don’t know how things will play out. Nor is it realistic to think there will ever be a point where we will have reached our destination or ideal utopia.
However, we can work on building our resilience & solidarity & co-operation, experimenting with different ways of organising, exchanging skills & resources, growing food & sustainability, dealing with conflict, and so on.
The aim of this year’s Bookfair is to focus on the future…as capital’s global crisis deepens and conflicts escalate, with disastrous consequences for humanity & the planet, the need for lasting social revolution has never been greater…the future is bright IF the future is anarchism!"

There is an interesting line-up of meetings at this event but how do 'Workers Liberty' get a look in with their version of Trotskyism when there are plenty of other Marxist influenced organisations around far more appropriate to a bookfair styled as Anarchist?
