Socialism is the future!

The 13th International Meeting of Communist and Workers’ Parties was held in Athens from December 9-11, 2011. Seventy-eight communist and workers’ parties, including the Communist Party of Australia, from fifty-nine countries, took part in the meeting which was hosted by the Communist Party of Greece (KKE).

The main theme of the meeting was Socialism is the Future!

Discussion covered the international situation and the experience of the communists twenty years after the counterrevolution in the USSR. The meeting analysed the tasks for the development of the class struggle in conditions of capitalist crisis, imperialist wars, of the current popular struggles and uprisings, for working class popular rights, the strengthening of proletarian internationalism and the anti-imperialist front, for the overthrow of capitalism and the construction of socialism.

This issue of the Australian Marxist Review reproduces some of the contributions made at this important international gathering.
