| Alex Kempshall makes a point with Marx's Capital |
By New Worker correspondent
KARL MARX died in London on 14th March 1883 and his memory
has been recalled ever since by the working class movement throughout the
world. And last Saturday his immense contribution to the socialist cause was
recalled at a reception at the New Communist Party’s London centre to mark
the 129th anniversary of the passing of the man, who together with
Frederick Engels, founded scientific socialism.
This is a regular
event in the NCP calendar and, as usual, the central meeting room and the print
shop were transformed for the bar and buffet. During the formal part of the
celebrations tributes to the work and struggle of Marx were given by NCP chair
Alex Kempshall, Kumar Sarkar of Second Wave Publications and NCP General
Secretary Andy Brooks while solidarity greetings from Dermot Hudson of the Korean
Friendship Association were read out.
No NCP event ever
ends without a collection and Alex rose to the task with an appeal not just for
money but also for renewed study of the works of Marx which are as relevant now
as on the day they were written. The comrades responded by raising some £250
for the New Worker special building
appeal.
