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.

Mass protests: Where is China going?

The Great Depression was the most severe crisis of the capitalist system in the 20th century. In the years following the Wall Street Crash, industrial production in the West collapsed, and world trade dried up. 

The impact of the depression on the working class and poor was severe. Millions across the world faced unemployment, destitution, and hunger.

After the initial shock of the crisis passed, workers became increasingly radicalised around the world. The USA saw a wave of industrial militancy, which transformed the trade unions. A wave of strikes, revolutions, and counter-revolutions swept Europe.

In this session, James Kilby discusses the causes of the Great Depression, its impact on the class struggle, and explores whether we will see another great depression, or one even greater.

The 1930s Great Depression: Could it happen again?

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.
