Bookings are now open for this year’s Summer School, which is being held in Worcester on 22nd – 24th August. The theme for the weekend’s talks is ‘What Is Marxism?’. More details can be found here http://www.worldsocialism.org/spgb/summer-school-2025/ and further updates will be posted over the coming months.
I’m pleased to announce the first of the talks at this year’s Summer School. Keith Graham will be presenting ‘Marxism and Marx – Can They Ever Be Friends?’
Karl Marx was both a theorist and a political activist, and in both cases many people have either claimed his name or had it inflicted on them. This talk will consider what things Marxists would have to say and do to merit the name. The most prominent political movement claiming his name is or was Marxism-Leninism. Two common theoretical stances are those of Western Marxism and analytical Marxism. In each case they will be measured against the most plausible relevant commitments which can be attributed to Marx. While they vary widely in their nature, in each case it will be suggested that in some respects or other they all fall short of an accurate reflection of Marx’s own views.The other sessions are in the pipeline, and more details will be announced in the coming weeks.
