New Parties of the Left in Europe- a debate
The next SR Forum will be a debate between Fred Leplat of Socialist Resistance and Chris Bambery of the International Socialist Group (Scotland) on the theme of our new book ‘New Parties of the Left- Experiences from Europe’
Chris writes: “
“Across Europe resistance to austerity and cuts is mounting. Yet this comes at a time when much of the left in Europe is in crisis and this resistance all too often passes it by. In recent years the experience of the European radical left provides some valuable experiences but also some warnings which should be heeded. As the centre left falls in behind the drive for austerity the need to pose an effective left alternative is greater than ever. That begins by throwing ourselves into the resistance to austerity.”
