New kinds of socialism for new global modernities
The third Soundings annual event
Saturday 30 June 10.30am to 5pm
Tavistock Centre, 120 Belsize Lane, London NW3
The socialism that developed in response to the modernity of Western
mass industrial society has largely passed into history. New global
modernities are emerging, and we need to create new kinds of socialism,
able effectively to counter the destructive impact of capitalism.
Part of the Soundings ‘left futures’ project, this one-day event will
look at financialisation and globalisation, how to counter the social
recession, and political strategies for a new kind of left politics.
From May the Soundings website (www.soundings.org.uk) will be hosting
analysis and debate on left futures, with the opportunity for comment
and discussion.
‘New kinds of socialism for new global modernities’ is organised in
association with Compass (www.compassonline.org.uk) and Red Pepper
(www.redpepper.org.uk) and financially supported by the Barry Amiel and
Norman Melburn Trust.
Registration costs £25, unwaged is £10 (includes lunch). To reserve a
place, send credit card details or a cheque payable to Soundings to
