Opening Meeting: Socialist Ideas for a World in Crisis
In the opening plenary of Marxism 2021 Alex Callinicos, leading member of the Socialist Workers Party in Great Britain, will look at the ongoing triple crises of capitalism: the pandemic, catastrophic climate change and the underlying economic injustice facing humanity. These crises have thrown up impressive and important moments of resistance globally, from the eruption of Black Lives Matter to the courageous struggle of Palestinians and the global solidarity movement. In his talk Alex will look at how socialist politics can be a crucial tool in our fight for a better world.
