Hello everyone and merry xmas and a happy new year when it comes. It has
a very busy year with Gaza demos, a Climate Camp and
anti-fascist/anti-racist rallies. Also, the Centre itself has greatly

A note from colleague Keith Paterson who has an event Wednesday 11th
December, 12-2 at the Bobbin bar on King Street.
'Marx's Method - Understanding Capitalism'. Independent Researcher Keith
Paterson presents his lecture series on contemporary economics and the
rhetoric of 'catastrophe capitalism' within mainstream economics. The
series is open to any student, worker or community activist in Aberdeen
interested in how capitalism works. The first meeting will be quite
informal and introduces the series with a session on Marx's Method - how
he went about the task of understanding capitalism. The underlying theme
of the meetings, however, is not just to understand the system, but to
consider how to change it.

Hello Everyone.
Notice of an special radical cafe event on Saturday 14th December.

Is a world full of pointless consumerism and lack of solidarity bumming
you out?
Then come to the Neutral Market!!
A no-buy flea and Christmas market.
Bring stuff you would give away anyway to share with others!
Take home something new, trinkets, bric-a-brac, clothes or other stuff.
There will be food and drinks!
This is donation based, all funds go to our friends at Collectif Zone
Neutre. The collective is based on activism and mutual aid for people
without the right papers. They are currently squatting in Brussels, and
aiming to get electricity for the winter.
_If you want to donate stuff come along on the day or bring it to the
radical cafe tomorrow (7th)._
