Inspired by John Holloway's "Crack Capitalism", this evening of discussion and debate is open to all who wish to come and share their thoughts or ruffle some feathers over a coffee. Our first get-together, which hopes to be the first in a series of discussion evenings, will be led by ideas in Chapter 1 in Hollloway's book, but there is no obligation to have read it in advance. For those of you who are interested in doing some sw...atting up before hand, watch this space for a link to Chapter 1 over the next couple of days...
We hope to see you there for a fun, friendly and fiery evening of discussion!
To get you in the mood, here's a little taster of the book:
"Crack Capitalism, argues that radical change can only come about through the creation, expansion and multiplication of 'cracks' in the capitalist system. These cracks are ordinary moments or spaces of rebellion in which we assert a different type of doing.
John Holloway's previous book, Change the World Without Taking Power, sparked a world-wide debate among activists and scholars about the most effective methods of going beyond capitalism. Now Holloway rejects the idea of a disconnected array of struggles and finds a unifying contradiction - the opposition between the capitalist labour we undertake in our jobs and the drive towards doing what we consider necessary or desirable."
