Time and again, Marxism has been declared dead, and capitalism the final form of human fulfillment. Yet every generation--the workers of the great U.S. union struggles of the 1930s, student radicals in the 1960s, the millions who struggled to overthrow apartheid in South Africa, or those who joined the Solidarity movement in Stalinist Poland--has rediscovered the "buried" ideas of Marxism as a way to understand the world around them.

The International Socialist Organization is sponsoring meetings around the country on "The Revolutionary Ideas of Karl Marx." Join us for a discussion of Marx's legacy and how these ideas can provide a guide to changing the world. Listed below is information on the Marx forums for a number of places:
