Who owns the history of the class?

There's an online petition to stop the auction of one of the few five-shilling notes issued by the Limerick Soviet in 1919...

Update from the Limerick Council of Trade Unions (12.12.12): "The Limerick Soviet 5/shilling note is now back where it belongs in its rightful home at the Mechanics' Institute Limerick.

Long Live the Limerick Soviet!"

Short documentary on the Limerick Soviet here.

Making our own history

Laurence Cox and Alf Nilsen launched their book We Make Our Own History: Marxism and Social Movements in the Twilight of Neoliberalism at the Historical Materialism conference in London (November 2014), with responses from Colin Barker, Subir Sinha and Lesley Wood. You can see the full video on the Pluto Press website - the video quality isn't ideal but the audio is fine. There's also a session with Laurence Cox for the International Sociological Association's social movements research committee on youtube - again the audio is better than the video!
