Marxist-Humanist Initiative (MHI) will run two panels at the “No War but the Class War” conference, organized by Historical Materialism and the Institute for the Radical Imagination. The conference will be held at Long Island University in Brooklyn, New York, from Friday, May 31 to Sunday, June 2.

Session 6. Saturday, June 1 @ 2:30-4:15 pm EDT: “Karl Marx Had Your Number: His writings slam today’s left tendencies.”

Session 7. Saturday, June 1 @ 4:45-6:30 pm EDT: “What is Holding Back a Mass Movement Against the Imminent Danger of Trumpist Fascism?”

MHI’s panels will discuss the challenge posed to contemporary left tendencies by Karl Marx’s writings and the factors holding back a mass movement against Trumpism and rising authoritarianism. We will also have a literature table where you can meet Marxist-Humanists from New York. For reference, see the conference program.
