The more difficult question is the operational one of how to bring socialism about in the sense of mass consciousness and mass mobilisation of the working class and then devise the structures of society that will facilitate and sustain it. The Party's summer school this year is on the theme: 'What it means to be a socialist.' This seems to me to have a lot of potential strands to it, including whether it is credible for individuals to assert that they are socialists in a capitalist society. I'll send the piece to the organiser, Mike Foster, in case he doesn't look at this blog.
