"If England is the bulwark of European landlordism & capitalism, the only point at which one can strike a major blow against official England is Ireland." - Karl Marx
Arise hosted this event as part of the Lenin 100 Series with Joe Dwyer, writer of forthcoming book on Lenin & Ireland, & Sinn Féin London Office.
Lenin lies in a tomb in Moscow, yet his teachings are still reviled by 'mainstream' politics 100 years since his death. Yet in today's world, riven by inequality & war, is it worth returning to his demands of 'Peace, Land and Bread'? And our his writings on Ireland worth returning to as the nation moves towards unity and self-determinations
To understand what Lenin really thought and did - and what we can learn from him today - Joe will take us through what he had to say on Ireland, how it inspires Irish socialists and what remains relevant for us all today in our struggle for a better world.
Lenin 100 in Britain is a series of events ran by volunteers taking place in 2024 to commemorate Lenin's life and legacy.
