They said that Marx was dead and that capitalism had triumphed. Then came the realities of globalization. Then came endless wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Then came the greatest economic crisis since the Great Depression. Now, Marx’s ideas seem to explain the world a lot better than what you see on Fox News.

But Marx also predicted that the inequalities of capitalism would give rise to resistance. And we’ve only just begun to see the emergence of a new generation of struggles, from the protests for immigrant rights, to the factory occupations of workers in Chicago, to the massive outpouring of solidarity with the people of Gaza and Palestine.

Come to a discussion of Marx’s ideas and how they apply to today, and then get involved in helping us to build a movement that puts Marx’s ideas into practice! As Marx himself said, “Philosophers have only interpreted the world; the point is to change it!”
