On
November 7, 2017 Marxists in New York City will come together to commemorate a revolutionary centenary. One hundred
years to the day since the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution, US
activists and scholars will assemble to celebrate a socialist
revolution which, more than any other, defined the 20th century and
still impacts our century, the 21st.
The
Bolshevik Revolution stunned a despairing world weary of the mass
slaughter in the trenches of the First World War. It sent shock waves
through all people’s movements around the world, not least in our
country.
