Bad Thoughts this Wednesday

Bad Thoughts, this Wednesday November 12th at (the slightly later time of) 8pm

"Insurrection!"

This session of Bad Thoughts we will be discussing the topic of insurrection.

Is insurrection a way to kick off a revolution? A prime example of this occurring is right on our own doorstep, where the insurrection of 1916 prompted a mass revolution that led to independence.

But is organising an insurrection elitist, or a "vanguard" activity, where a small group of individuals decides whats best for the rest of society?

Are insurrections always doomed to failure?

We will also discuss insurrections in a current context. Are the large scale "anti capitalist" demos in recent years, such as Seattle, Prague, Quebec & Genoa examples of insurrections against the capitalist system? If an insurrection happens tomorrow, what would we do?

All are welcome.
