May Day and the struggle for the eight-hour working day

Comrade Deborah Fox, who has done much original research into the working-class movement in Britain in the 19th century, will be outlining the background to this vital struggle, and leading the discussion on how this hard-won right is being steadily eroded as a result of the capitulations of opportunist leadership in our own movement and pressures of the deepening capitalist economic crisis on our rulers. A presentation to the Stalin Society, followed by discussion.

About the society

The was formed in 1991 to defend JV Stalin and his work on the basis of fact, and to refute the capitalist, revisionist, opportunist and Trotskyist propaganda directed against him. Stalin’s name is synonymous with communism, the , and the overthrow of capitalist exploitation and imperialist tyranny. For this reason, the international bourgeoisie have spearheaded their attacks on working and oppressed peoples by slandering Stalin and the Soviet Union. They have employed a variety of tactics to this end over the last 90 years, but have been guided to a large extent by dissidents who betrayed the Soviet people, most notably Leon Trotsky. The powerful US-based Hearst press, sympathetic to Hitler, was a pioneer in these methods, but the rest of the capitalist world's media and political elites have not lagged behind. All welcome to this meeting who are genuinely interested in the content, ready to listen respectfully to the speaker and wishing to take part constructively in the discussion that follows.
