"If England is the bulwark of European landlordism & capitalism, the only point at which one can strike a major blow against official England is Ireland." - Karl Marx

Lenin lies in a tomb in Moscow, yet his teachings are still reviled by 'mainstream' politics 100 years since his death. Yet in today's world, riven by inequality & war, is it worth returning to his demands of 'Peace, Land and Bread'? And our his writings on Ireland worth returning to as the nation moves towards unity and self-determinations
To understand what Lenin really thought and did - and what we can learn from him today - Joe will take us through what he had to say on Ireland, how it inspires Irish socialists and what remains relevant for us all today in our struggle for a better world.
