breakdown Archives - Marxist-Humanist Initiative

Join us (on Zoom) on April 27, 2025, from 1:00-3:00 pm EDT for our meeting: “Opposing Annexation and Transforming Canada.”

Theresa Henry will read from a draft article for With Sober Senses on the need and possibility for international solidarity between Indigenous sovereigntists and Canadian workers against Trump’s threats of economic coercion and annexation. She will argue that assertions of Indigenous nationhood are the ground of such solidarity and that it is in Canadian workers’ interests to support Indigenous sovereignty movements.

To attend, send MHI a request to attend by April 24; 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.
