A revolution in our lifetimes? - April 21st

2nd of the Rethinking Revolution sessions

Are we spending our precious time outside of work at protests and meetings because we want to improve our lives or are we just fighting for future generations. In either case what is it that we are trying to do as we move from topic to topic and struggle to struggle? Alan MacSimoin doesn't expect to see the glorious day while Andrew Flood is preparing for it being just around the corner.

Discussion will start at 6.30 sharp in Seomra Spraoi Wed 21st April

Rethinking revolution is a series of discussions in Dublin about the core ideas those of us who want revolutionary change think we have in common and so too often neglect to discuss. The discussions will be kicked off by an opinionated presentation of one or more approaches on these questions with the purpose of drawing all present into a discussion that we hope will continue long after the meeting. The talks are organised by the Outreach group of the WSM and inspired by those arguments we keep having in the kitchen at parties. We'll be using this group to keep you updated as the program develops.

The discussions will happen on the 1st and 3rd Wednesday of every month in Seomra Spraoi starting April 7th. Semora Spraoi is an activist run 'social center' and is located at 10 Belvidere Court, Dublin 1, for directions see below. The discussions will start at 6.30 sharp as Seomra Kitchen has a 'People's Kitchen' every Wednesday from 7.30 (so afterwards you can get a tasty meal and continue the discussion.)
