Workers’ Liberty held its annual conference on 29-30 April. The conference offers comrades a chance to bring motions to shape the group’s activity and policy for the coming year, and allows for reflection on the past year’s work and assessment of the political situation. We started with a discussion on rebuilding the forces of socialism in an era of widespread “anti-utopianism” where to many “socialism” looks like a call to retread old Stalinist or semi-Stalinist models.
