Marxism has stood the test of time. Even liberals and conservatives have to turn to Marx to understand the economic crisis of capitalism!
This conference will provide an introduction to the ideas of Marxism and interesting political discussion about the people’s movements throughout the world that are resisting capitalist oppression and exploitation. It is a conference for internationalists and all those who want to join the resistance to the growing tide of racism and xenophobia that the capitalist system perpetuates in order to divide working people. It is a conference for those who want to win in the fight back against the intensifying misogyny, sexism and queerphobia which is trying to force us all into capitalism’s socially defined roles.
It will be a conference for all those who want to understand the struggles to build socialism, the successes and the failure - both throughout history and today in Cuba, Venezuela and Vietnam. It will be a conference for all those who are inspired by the growing Arab revolution which is changing the lives of so many throughout the Middle East.
It will be a conference for all those who want to study the real history of society and the struggle for human dignity and liberation - the history they don’t teach at the schools and universities. This history threatens the status quo because it shows that things have not always been as they are today. And this is a revolutionary idea - because if oppression and exploitation had a beginning - then it can also have an end.
Understanding the world as it really is and as it can be is inspiring and empowering. So if you want to be part of the fight for a society that puts an end to oppression, poverty and exploitation - this is a conference for you! Be there!
