The presence of the Workers Party is interesting as until recently there have been few links between the DSP and our local neo-Maoists. Their common interest seems to be support for president Chavez’s unfolding Venezuelan revolution.

Conference themes include;

The histories & experiences of struggles & movements of resistance

Campaigning & organising strategies

Anti-capitalist & revolutionary theory & practice

Emerging alternatives to neo-liberalism

Saving our planet from ecological collapse

Indigenous struggles & resistance

Cultural action & liberation

This conference proves several things beyond the obvious “communism is not dead“.

Firstly it shows the level of integration between the mainstream communist parties of Vietnam and Cuba and the newer revolutons of East Timor, El Salvador, Venezuela, the Philippines and Bolivia.

Secondly it shows the growing links beteen the mainstream communist parties and the once hated Trotskyists and Maoists.

Thirdly it demonstrates the links beteen the indigenous rights, green, women’s, labour movements and the resurgent world revolutionary movement.
