Co-ops, mutual aid and 'building community' - an alternative to workers struggle?
About this session

Mutual aid, workers co-ops and calls to ‘build community’ have gained popularity in recent years. This session will offer a socialist critcism of these strategies, instead arguing for a strategy of class struggle. The working class still holds the power to bring the capitalist economy to a halt. This is the only power that could really challenge the many horrors of capitalism.
