Marxism is the largest left wing gathering in Britain-and one of the largest in the world.
Thousands of participants-trade unionists, students, activists and academics, and those simply interested in how the world can be changed- converge on London to discuss the ideas that have inspired the struggles of the exploited and dispossessed.
But this year's event has a special urgency. For three years capitalism has been in crisis.
Now, in Britain and beyond, we face an assault on our livelihoods, our public services and our right to work on a scale unseen for generations.
This assault comes at a moment of political weakness for our rulers as old ideological certainties melt into air and as the mainstream parties struggle to connect with ordinary voters.
This will frame the debates and discussions at Marxism 2010, where the best speakers on the left will introduce over 200 workshops, panels, film showings and rallies.
There will be opportunities to meet activists from every continent and from every arena of struggle. If you wish to be there, book your ticket now.
| Latest Eamonn McCann on "The Bloody Sunday Enquiry" Eamonn McCann, a socialist activist from Derry and lifelong civil rights campaigner, who was present at Bloody Sunday, will be speaking on the events of that day and the enquiry at Marxism 2010. The release of the Saville Report on 15 June has blown apart key lies told about the murder of 13 unarmed, innocent civil rights marchers in Derry in 1972. But it doesn't go as far as to implicate the British state in the cover-up of the cold-blooded murder. At Marxism you will hear the truth about the enquiry and the events themselves from one of Derry's most respected voices. |

Gaza freedom flotilla survivor, Kevin Ovenden, on "Palestine's fight for freedom" When the Israel Defence Force boarded one of the ships of the aid flotilla bound for Gaza on 31 May, they opened fire and killed nine people. Kevin Ovenden, a representative of Viva Palestina, was on that ship and will come to Marxism to talk about his experience, what happened on that tragic day, and place the actions of the IDF in the wider context of the ongoing struggle for Palestinian liberation. |
