Here is the debate

Lawrence Cox debates with
SWP’s Kieran Allen
this weekend in Trinity College on ‘Does the Movement need
Political Parties’.

The debate is part of a wider conference,
Marxism 2004, which is organized by Trinity College SWSS.

Lawrence Cox was one of the spokespersons for the Dublin
Grassroots Network during the Mayday protests last year. He
has written extensively about the need to develop inclusive social
movements.

Kieran Allen s a member of the Irish Anti-War Movement and
has played a key role in advocating a strategy of mass
resistance. He describes himself as a revolutionary socialist and
has been deeply involved in t Marxist movement for many years.
He argues that the ant capitalist movement and revolutionary
socialist parties need to work hand in hand.

Many of the themes of this debate have surfaced on Indy media
over the years – though sometimes marred by abusive,
personalized and anonymous commentary.

Marxism 2003 provides an opportunity to get out from behind
the comparer screen and engage with the issues in a live debate.
