The Communist
University
The CPGB's annual school is different.
It features sharp clashes of opinion on the revolutionary
left, not dull lectures. This educates the audience
and the speakers. And who can doubt that the entire
left needs some serious re-thinking? The CU features
real debates - a genuine festival of ideas. We do
not want another century like the last - we need
clarity, unity and purpose. We need genuine communist
politics again.
We have made available some video
files from this year's Communist University, which
took place from August 9-16 2008 in south London.
