April 2025 - Marxist-Humanist Initiative

Join us (on Zoom) on April 6 from 1 to 3 pm EDT for our meeting: “US-Russian Relations and the End of the Post-WWII World Order.”

Ralph Keller and Andrew Kliman will give a presentation arguing that since Trump’s second election as President of the United States, it has become clear that the alliances formed after World War II have collapsed, meaning every major power is left to pursue its imperialist and geopolitical ambitions in its respective spheres of influence: China in the far East, the US in North America, and Russia to the East of the EU.

To attend, send MHI a request to attend by April 3; state briefly why you’re interested in MHI and your location.

“Raya Dunayevskaya: Biography of an Idea”

MHI is happy to distribute this documentary film by Alex Fletcher. It explores many major concepts of the philosopher, activist, and feminist Raya Dunayevskaya, who developed Marxist-Humanism over much of the last century, up until her death in 1987. The 79-minute film contains rare video clips of her speeches and offers glimpses of material in her archives, as well as featuring interviews of 3 MHI members who belonged to Dunayevskaya’s organization during her lifetime.

Film now available here. Review and trailer here.
