[Audio] What is Socialism?

By Rob Sewell

With the greatest crisis of capitalism since the Great Depression, a key question is what is the alternative to this crisis prone system? With the announcement of the most savage austerity package since the 1920s, which will completely undermine everything that supposed to constitute a civilized society, what is the real alternative?

Hear Rob Sewell, editor of Socialist Appeal, speak to the students of the ULU Marxist Society in London.
