Previous discussion series

Our first series of ‘uncaptive minds’ forums took place in autumn 2008, and was on the subject of the 1970s class struggle, discussing various disputes as well as the organising methods and ideas prevalent at the time. Click here for reports on individual meetings and links to resources.

In the first half of 2009 we held a reading group on ‘communism from below’, looking at both the future communist society and the means of organisation needed to get there. Click here to see the full list of dates, subjects and texts.
