"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.

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 and war, is it worth returning to his demands of 'Peace, Land and Bread'?
To understand what Lenin really thought and did we are hosting this 'Lenin 100' series. This session looks at his economic ideas, including the classic analysis "Imperialism - the Highest Stage of Capitalism" & the innovative ideas behind the New Economic Policy.
Michael Roberts worked in the City of London as an economist for over 40 years. He has closely observed the machinations of global capitalism from within the dragon’s den. At the same time, he was a political activist in the labour movement for decades. Since retiring, he has written several books: The Great Recession – a Marxist view (2009); The Long Depression (2016); & Marx 200: a review of Marx’s economics (2018).
