Revolutions are some of the most emancipatory events in human history. Masses of people revolt against oppression and ruling class power, upheaving the drudgery and prejudices of everyday life in the process. But revolutions are very open-ended processes. There are conflicting social forces within revolutionary situations that bid for power. Who wins out, in what combination and in what political direction they push for, is key because it determines the outcome of revolutions. This session is about how when the working class takes the lead in revolutions, it has the power, potential and class interest to produce not just a transformation of the political system - but to win a social revolution to overthrow capitalism.
