About this Event

A special in-person event, with Paul Le Blanc visiting from the USA.

Paul Le Blanc is the author of'Lenin. Responding to Catastrophe, Forging Revolution,' 'Unfinished Leninism' & 'Lenin & the Revolutionary Party.'

To understand what Lenin's ideas could mean today - & how they help us understand the world - Paul will take us through a discussion of the Logic of Lenin Vs. The Logic of Trump,' just after the 2024 US Presidenital election.

Lenin lies in a tomb in Moscow, yet his teachings are still reviled by 'mainstream' politics 100 years since his death - But in today's world, riven by inequality & war, is it worth returning to his demands of 'Peace, Land and Bread'?
