Marxism is an annual conference that takes place in central London every year in early July .Thousands attend and there are seminars,talks and meetings on just about all the important issues of the day and about our history....everything from the ending of slavery to the spread of city slums across our planet,from the wars in the Middle East to the alternatives to New Labour....and yes there are meetings that discuss in detail some of the basic beliefs of Marxism such as the theory of Surplus Value and the role of the working class as the only potential gravedigger of Capitalism.
There are also gigs,book launches,art exhibitions films and theatre.
Last year the Sottish folk singersa Alistair Hulett and Jimmy Ross performed the songs of Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger.Excellent stuff!
