Organisation requires skill & vice versa...


Lenin as a Midfield General?

via Philosophy Football


"For those who desire not simply an aimless skipping from instance to instance, an integral central movement will take us forward towards a great goal." 
- Lenin

The Agrarian Question and 'The Critics of Marx' might not be the most obvious place to find the tactical masterplan to re-organise a midfield drifting into non-activity. An early proponent of route one, Lenin's team kept their eyes on one step forwards, not too many backwards, towards the other lot's six-yard box. 


Leninist football rejects the appeal of a talented but disorderly squad in favour of the centrality of class upfront. Never mind United, Philosophy Football's latest T- shirt features the one, only and original 'Red Army', preparing to conquer all opposition.

Crisis in Europe - threats against Iran - the occupy movement - November 30 strikes and protests,
This is the most challenging and exciting time for the movement in decades.

The agenda will include:
1) The crisis and the movement

We need as many members and supporters from all parts of the country to participate to get a real picture of the state of the movement after N30 and to discuss what has worked and what hasn't for Counterfire locally.

Come and join the discussion. If you book transport now you will save money.
