A talk on 'Capitalist Decline, Financial Crisis & Revolutionary Prospects' with Hillel Ticktin
 
The Whitechapel Centre, 85 Myrdle St, London, E1. Nearest tube: Whitechapel
 

Hillel Ticktin's reinterpretation of Marx's ideas enabled him to foresee thedisintegration of Soviet Stalinism years before it occurred. Since then he hasargued that capitalism itself is in a state of inexorable decline. During the20th century, world wars, reformism, Stalinism and recently the credit boomsuccessfully maintained capitalism by keeping the working class passive. Butdoes the end of the credit boom mark the end of capitalism's survivalstrategies? Will the coming recession spark a new working class movement? Come and join the debate.
