Cryptocurrency, NFTs, and speculative bubbles: The casino of capitalism

The past week has seen the largest wave of protests in China for over 30 years, as discontent over harsh lockdown measures, bureaucratic mismanagement and corruption, and the deep crisis of Chinese capitalism has boiled over onto the streets.

In this talk, Daniel Morley outlines the Marxist perspective for the class struggle in China, and why workers and youth must take the revolutionary road.

Mass protests: Where is China going?

Amidst the carnage of the First World War, Lenin characterised capitalism as “horror without end”. Today, the grim truth of that statement can be seen in the proliferation of brutal conflicts around the world from the industrial slaughter of civilians in Yemen, to the intensification of the proxy war between NATO and Russia in Ukraine.

In this talk from last year’s Revolution Festival, Josh Holroyd discusses the nature of capitalism today, how it necessarily leads to imperialist domination and conflict between the major powers, and how an end to war might be achieved, once and for all.

Profits vs peace: War and imperialism

From 1925 to 1927, the young Chinese working class waged a revolutionary struggle against the decaying order of the warlords and imperialists. Tragically, the errors of the Stalinist Comintern led to the crushing of this revolution.

In this talk, Daniel Morley outlines the key lessons of these events, and draws out the need for class independence and a socialist programme.
