<p>The pamphlet, excerpted in the latest issue of <a href="https://thecommune.wordpress.com/magazine/the-commune-issue-2/">The Commune</a>, features a discussion document produced by supporters of A l&#8217;Encontre, l&#8217;Emancipation sociale, Carré rouge and A contre-courant looking at what alternative we can pose to the crisis-ridden capitalist system, including a focus on gender oppression, the coming ecological disaster and modern imperialism.</p>
<p>Arguing against the tried-and-failed statist and vanguardist conceptions of Stalinism and social-democracy, the piece puts forward the case for a self-managed society based on participatory democracy and collective decision making.</p>
<p>You can order the pamphlet for £1 + postage by writing to <strong>uncaptiveminds@gmail.com</strong> or <strong>The Commune, 2nd Floor, 145-157 St John Street, London EC1V 4PY.</strong></p>
