      Benjamin Franks will introduce his recent work, 'Between Anarchism and Marxism: The beginnings and ends of the schism? (2012), which will be followed by group discussion of the questions posed. 
     "The standard approach, endorsed by orthodox Marxists and many anarchists, is to see an irreconcilable difference between anarchism and Marxism. However, the historical record shows that whilst Marx opposed – and was opposed by - leading anarchists prior to 1917 there was considerable positive interaction between diverse Marxist and anarchist groups. The division between the two, viewed as fundamental, I argue, is in fact the product of a particular form of political structure that dominated the revolutionary-left in the last century. Now that these hierarchical forms of organisation have been discredited, rediscovered and revised forms of Marxism have arisen that, once again, actively engage with anarchism."

ECONOMICS EXPLAINED.

        While this present "financial crisis" is rumbling along sucking all the wealth from the poor to the very rich, we keep getting all sorts of economic explanations from the academics and politicians. We get Keynesian to Marxist theories thrown at us, all in jargon that doesn't mean much to the ordinary member of the public, the ones hardest hit. Seldom do we get the truth set out in accurate but simple form, that we can all accept and understand. The following is probably the most straight forward, honest and simplest explanation that will come your way.
