Sweden: 'Revolution2017' success

Revolution2017 took place in Stockholm on 4 November and was a great celebration of the Russian revolution and the linking up to today's class struggles. 180 people attended the event which included seminars, panel discussion, art, music, poetry and a great rally.
Among the speakers was Ruben Fernandez, Izquierda Revolucionaria (Spain) Clare Doyle, Committee for a Workers' International (CWI) and Sascha Stanicic, Sozialistische Alternative (Germany). The appreciation of the audience was reflected in the financial appeal which reached 100,000 Kronor (over £9,000), the highest ever for Rättvisepartiet Socialisterna (CWI Sweden).

Finance appeal
The coronavirus crisis has laid bare the class character of society in numerous ways. It is making clear to many that it is the working class that keeps society running, not the CEOs of major corporations.
The results of austerity have been graphically demonstrated as public services strain to cope with the crisis.
- The Socialist Party's material is more vital than ever, so we can continue to report from workers who are fighting for better health and safety measures, against layoffs, for adequate staffing levels, etc.
- We must be ready for the stormy events ahead and the need to arm workers' movements with a socialist programme - one which puts the health and needs of humanity before the profits of a few.
Inevitably, during the crisis we have not been able to sell the Socialist and raise funds in the ways we normally would.
We therefore urgently appeal to all our viewers to donate to our Fighting Fund.
