ESF
2004: Where next?
London’s European Social Forum should be described
as a success, says Tina Becker. Hopefully though,
this year’s event will become known as the last ESF
that was simply a carnival of the left: the protests,
the police, the poor attendance figures, the stitch-ups
and the bureaucratic shenanigans have sparked a European-wide
debate on the need to radically reassess what we are doing
- ESF demonstration: Damning
criticism
An almost all-British platform dominated the final
demonstration - no wonder many of our European comrades
were unhappy
- ESF protests: Paying the
price
The London ESF was characterised by unprecedented levels
of open dissent and protest against the bureaucratic
stage-management of the whole event - inside and outside
the official ESF structures. Mark Fischer reports
- Next ESF: Next stop - Athens
2006
Why did the SWP try to prevent the next ESF taking place
in Athens? Tina Becker explains
- For a social Europe
The CPGB took part in a meeting to launch a European-wide
'campaign for a social and democratic Europe', writes

- Missed opportunity
It is a pity that our ESF did not manage to launch
a united 'No' campaign in response to the EU constitutional
treaty, says Peter Manson

Patience and principle
It is no secret that the CPGB’s engagement with the
Respect coalition has provoked differences in our ranks.
Yet, while often based on healthy revolutionary instincts,
leftism is a trend that must be combated, argues Mark
Fischer. Lenin's Leftwing communism - an infantile
disorder can aide us
