Attached is a recording of the Sheffield communist discussion group meeting held on 3rd November 2010 on the subject of the Con/Dem public sector and welfare cuts.
This is how the meeting was advertised:
An open, independent forum to discuss class struggle and communist theory in Sheffield and South Yorkshire.
Questions:
Do we simply defend the "welfare state"?
Will the cuts smash or restructure "welfare"?
Are the cuts an economic necessity?
Can Trade unions defend jobs and services?
