According to the leaflet now available at http://bit.ly/BensaidLeaflet the speakers will be Gilbert Achcar (like Bensaïd, an IIRE fellow), Terry Conway (SR executive), Alex Callinicos (SWP central committee) and Stathis Kouvelakis (from the NPA).
Daniel Bensaïd was one of the leaders of the May 68 movement. He was one of those people who had an inherent sense for political initiatives. He grasped the dynamic of the link between the student movement and general strike, and understood the necessity for a revolutionary socialist organization.
