10 days until the International Marxist University opens its doors! Image: International Marxist Tendency Share TweetJust over a week from now, on 23 July, thousands of people from 127 countries (and rising) will come together to join the International Marxist University (IMU). Already, we have signed up around 4,500 people. So what are you waiting for? Enrol in the IMU today! This event could not occur at a more appropriate time. We are living through an era of crisis and revolution. In the last week alone, major social explosions have been unfolding across the world, reflecting the deepening crisis of capitalism. In Sri Lanka, protesters fighting against unbearable living conditions have taken over the president’s residence, forcing his resignation. In Britain, the pillars of British capitalism have been further weakened, with Prime Minister Boris Johnson forced to offer his resignation following the resignation of over 50 MPs. In Ecuador, an 18-day national strike against the worsening cost of living crisis came to an end, having won important concessions from the government. It is safe to say that across the world, the crisis of capitalism is having a profound effect on the consciousness and radicalism of the masses, who are beginning to take their destinies into their own hands. It is in these conditions that more and more are turning to the ideas of Marx, Engels, Lenin and Trotsky. People are eager to understand the development of society up to this point, and how this degenerate capitalism system can be completely overthrown in favour of a society that works for the benefit of everyone: a socialist society.The International Marxist University aims to provide precisely this: ideas and analysis to change the world!The IMU will cover 15 fascinating and varied sessions, from the Spanish Conquest of the Americas, to ‘Marxism, Money and Inflation’ and ‘Dialectics of Nature: Marxism and Modern Science’. This revolutionary theory will arm workers and youth across the world with the ideas to understand the world and how it can be changed. Comrades across the International Marxist Tendency have been energetically building for the event in their local areas, launching a range of initiatives such as postering sessions and videos discussing the event and what sessions they are looking forward to.
