FRIENDS and comrades met in central
London last Friday to take part in
a debate on the Arab Spring and its relevance to the struggle against world
imperialism. Prof Kamal Majid, a vice-president of the Stop the War Coalition,
and New Communist Party leader Andy Brooks kicked off the discussion with
openings on the recent upheavals in Tunisia
and Egypt,
Nato’s invasion of Libya
and imperialism’s growing threat to Syria.
The speakers
reported the stance of the communist movements in Syria
and Tunisia and
the issue was taken up by other participants, who also raised the concept of
the “national bourgeoisie” and questioned whether such a class now exists in
the Arab world.
The meeting,
organised by the NCP’s London District, was the fourth and last of this year’s
series of talks on contemporary issues. A new series of talks is planned for
the New Year.
