Essentials of Scientific Socialism
Part of a Continuing Series

“Clarity about the aims and problems of socialism is of greatest significance in our age of transition.” Einstein’s comment remains true in our Century, when the growing interest in socialism is matched by a growing confusion about socialism. This workshop, led by Gene Ruyle of the ICSS, will be part of an ongoing series seeking to overcome this confusion through study and discussion, focusing on the classics of scientific socialism. This session will continue our close reading of the Critique of the Gotha Program (1875). In preparation, participants are urged to read, or re-read, this important document and bring a copy along with them. (It’s online at the Marx Engels Archive, and I will also have in on my computer to project it on the screen.)
We will also honor the working class struggles which gave us Labor Day with a discussion of “Labor Day and May Day: Two Workers’ Holidays,” By Eugene E Ruyle. (Available online at http://www.peaceandfreedom.org)
