There will be an open discussion meeting on "Culture In Socialist Society" at 6pm in Connolly books on Tuesday the 3rd of June.

This new series of them is in four parts, these being:

* Transition From Socialism To Communism
Hopefully we'll see you there!

Stalin

New apartment
"A revolution is not the same as inviting people to dinner, or writing as essay, or painting a picture... A revolution is an insurrection, an act of violence by which one class overthrows another." Mao had said (from Selected Works of Mao Tse-tung, 1965) The publishing of new books and the introduction of new ideas virtually stopped. Except for the works of the deceased Lu Xun, all modern works were banned. From 1966 for the following six years publication of art journals was suspended. Art schools were closed and artists disbanded. Large numbers of old temples and monuments were smashed or vandalized. In the end, the disorder was so bad that the army was called in to repress the Red Guards and other fractions."

Yes I'm sure all those at the CYM discussion class on socialist culture will all be talking about the above mix of topics such as Stalin, The Komsomol, New soviet apartments and Mao.
Get over your sectarianism and generally, get a grip lads.
