What does a revolution look like?

4:15pm Fri 18 Apr
melbourne

About this session

Socialists who argue for revolution today are often met with disbelief – isn't capitalism too well-established to be overthrown? Wouldn't a revolution be violent or just bring a new ruling class to power? Aren't workers simply too comfortable to rise up? This session will unpack the dynamics of revolutionary upheaval in the contemporary period and paint a picture of what a successful socialist revolution could look like today.
