Marxism Festival 2012

http://www.marxismfestival.org.uk/

Crisis and austerity have exposed the insanity of our global system. Billions have been given to banks while billions across the planet face hunger, poverty, climate catastrophes and war.

Despite unprecedented wealth and technology we are told capitalism can provide even less for us than before. But a world in crisis breeds an ideological crisis. Austerity has generated resistance. Millions are fighting back, questioning this crazy system and looking for alternatives.

Marxism 2012 will brought thousands of people together, from across the world, to discuss, debate and organise resistance.
