Description
All that is solid melts into air - Rethinking politics in an age of crisis and flux.
The discussion will be about how we do politics in a world beset by global economic crisis, in which democratic institutions are in decline, the future is more than normally uncertain, people are more than normally insecure and, here in Scotland, the debate our constitutional options is getting into its stride.
We will have guest speakers including Dr Luke March, from the University of Edinburgh's Politics Department and a discussion about where we go next...
Organizer Democratic Left Scotland
Organizer of All that is solid melts into air: Rethinking Politics in an Age of Crisis and Flux - 2012 Democratic Left Scotland AGM and discussion
Democratic Left Scotland wants to see a society which:
- Meets the basic needs of all, and enables them to develop their talents and abilities to the full, enriching society and themselves.
- Is free from oppression and exploitation. A world where children are nurtured, nourished and respected, and which values and cares for its older citizens.
- Is pluralist, valuing people from different backgrounds and cultures, celebrating their rich diversity.
- Ensures that its development is ecologically sustainable and takes responsibility for bequeathing a healthier environment to future generations.
- Contributes to the creation of a new global community of co–operation and interdependence which leaves behind poverty, famine, debt, militarism and war.
But there are those with power, wealth and privilege organised to resist our demands so the key to success is united action.
