A number of recent debates on the revolutionary left have raised issues about the lack of democracy in traditional conceptions of socialist organisation. But where does this conception of ‘Leninism’ come from and why does it still hold such an attraction in the 21st century? This panel will bring together activists who want to see a more democratic and plural conception of revolutionary organisation, which encourages free thinking, participation and autonomy.
