Marxism Conference 2002

The press predicted that the anti-capitalist movement would be killed off by the events of 11 September. Since then we've seen protests of 20,000 in New York, 100,000 in Brussels, 80,000 in Porto Alegre and 500,000 in Barcelona. Anti-capitalist demonstrator Carlo Giuliani was killed by Italian police on a demonstration against the G8 in Genoa last July. This July his mother, Haidi Giuliani, will be speaking at Marxism. In another discussion, Susan George will join Alex Callinicos, Boris Kagarlitsky and Mike Gonzalez. They all attended the World Social Forum in Porto Alegre, and they will be discussing the future of the anti-capitalist movement.

A revolutionary past

Tony Benn and singer Roy Bailey have been performing their Writings on the Wall to packed audiences around the country. They combine songs and readings from revolutionary texts through the ages to inspirational effect. Marxism is made up of hundreds of rallies, forums, meetings and courses. Other issues include the growing discontent with New Labour and the possibility of creating alternatives to the Labour Party.

We will be discussing a solution for Palestine and looking at other national liberation struggles. We will be looking at women's liberation, labour history, race and racism, the media, and science.

A free creche is available to the children of people who register for Marxism. We can organise free accommodation in London for you.
