equip ourselves for future struggles and equally as important - to have fun. The theme of this years camp is to reclaim freedom. The ruling class never are or promoong teir ideas of "freedom" - the free market, free democracy and so on. We are committed to winning real freedom - freedom from exploitation, sexual freedom, freedom from oppression and freedom to live our tives as we choose. Capitalist "freedom" simply means the freedom for the rich and pomertul to exploit and oppress the ford it themselves. Contact us to get involved in fun fundraising cheques made payable to 'Liberation' to the address below - It will majority of the world population. Our freedom can only be won through collective struggle and solidarity.
We have to show people that socialism and freedom are part of the same thing. That's why we want to 'reclaim freedom' Throughout the week we will combine these ideas on a number of levels, from the content of discussions, workshops and forums, through to the very organisation of the camp itself.
We see lesbian and gay liberation, feminism and black liberation as central aspects of the struggle for socialism and liberation. We will inregrate aspects of all of these into the whole of the week, organising discussions on how young militants are fighting oppression across the continent, and how we can work to Peter.
Another important aspect of the camp is ecology - the first and biggest windmill in Denmark is in the centre of the camp. The free market has an extremely destructive effect on the environment. In order for us to have any kind of future an ecological approach must be incorporated into a system of collective planning.
The development of a capitalist EU threatens to drive back the struggle for liberation, with the destruction of welfare rights and a concerted offensive from the ruling class. We aim to develop our understanding of how to deal with the banks, the multinationals and the various governments in the context of the increasing integration of capitalist Europe.
Overall we will discuss our perspectives for bringing about revolutionary change in society, how we can link up across national boundaries, across different social movements, the trade unions and the labour movement and create a dynamic mass movement that can create the kind of society we want.
1998 also marks the 60th anniversary of the Fourth International, and so marks an ideal time for us to celebrate the history and traditions of our organisation at this years camp.
•Whilst we are all working hard to make this an interesting and useful. political camp, we will also make sure there is plenty of time to enjoy the social and cultural aspects of the camp, with a socialist cabaret, exhibitions, numerous sporting activities and parties throughout the week.
Join us in building the biggest and best delegation from Britain yet, and help us to create a socialist world, free from exploitation and oppression.
