DESCRIPTION:What Is To Be Done? 1903 and 2013\n \n“Denied was the possibility of 
 putting socialism on a scientific basis and of demonstrating its necessity 
 and inevitability from the point of view of the materialist conception of 
 history. Denied was the fact of growing impoverishment, the process of 
 proletarisation, and the intensification of capitalist contradictions; the 
 very concept, “ultimate aim”, was declared to be unsound, and the idea 
 of the dictatorship of the proletariat was completely rejected. Denied was 
 the antithesis in principle between liberalism and socialism.” -- Is this 
 the US in 2013? No, this is Europe in 1890s, as described by Lenin in 'What 
 Is To Be Done'? What did it mean for the events to follow and the 
 culmination of the great struggle that overthrew not only the Tsar but 
 capitalism in Russia and gave birth to the first great Socialist State?\nIs 
 this relevant in our times after the fall of the 20th century 
 socialism?\nWe are living in a world where capitalism has brought us to 
 near ecological instability, along with social, economic and political 
 instability, as 90% of this planets inhabitants experience it, whether or 
 not they express it in so many words. They know something is not right. The 
 1% who are wrecking this world of the 99% have in their hands all the 
 levers of power, so it seems today\nWhat is to be done about this 
 situation?.\nRaj Sahai will lead our discussion, let us see what we can 
 learn from each other.\n\nSunday Oct 6, 2013 - 10:30 am to 12:30 pm\nNiebyl
