What if they threw a conference and nobody came?
Marxism 2003 was much the same as always. Various SWP members spoke about various subjects at length. I honestly can't remember much about any of the speeches.
The overwhelming impression I got was one of smallness. I'd briefly been to a Marxism conference a couple of years and there seemed to be considerably less people around. Most of the meetings were very sparsely attended and the final rally had less then 90 people present.
People with better memories should put their reports of who said what in the comments section.
