Really good response to our freshers fair stall at Queen Margaret University. 17 gave details to find out more (including two from SNP Students!). We have a meeting on Thursday introducing students to Marxism. Our aim is soon to get 10 people to sign up and 3 people to be officers to start up a society which would be a fantastic step forward. A Marxist society could help the university’s trade unions in industrial action help other local campaigns and strikes, putting forward a Marxist position, form a much needed link between workers and students. In a university that’s 78% female it could be a step forward in getting more women involved in revolutionary politics, something which is very much needed. Here’s hoping next year we’ll be there with a society!
Rent strike reports
The MSF is intervening in rent strikes up and down the country. On the ground, we have been supporting and building for the strikes wholeheartedly. We have been raising our own demands (which can be found in this article) and argued for the strikes to be connected with the wider fight for free education.
