Welcome to Marxist University 2022, four days of online discussion dedicated to understanding the fundamental principles of Marxism, hosted by the International Marxist Tendency on 23-26 July.
The world is in a deep crisis. War, inequality, suffering and the pandemic have become the new normal for life under capitalism. Yet the ruling class, politicians, and their ideologues in bourgeois academia have proven their inability to even understand the seemingly chaotic world we live in, let alone change it for the better. In all this uncertainty, Marxism stands out as the only method capable of making sense of the turmoil and providing a practical basis to fight for our future.
For this reason, Marxist University 2022 will focus on the three pillars of Marxism: the revolutionary philosophy of dialectical materialism, Marx’s economic insights into the contradictions of capitalism, and historical materialism, the Marxist approach to history. There can be no better antidote to the confusion of today’s world than studying these fundamentals and learning how we can defend them against the attacks of capitalism’s apologists.

The Russian Revolution: the greatest event in human history
The October Revolution of 1917 was the first time in history that workers and peasants had taken on the bosses, landlords and capitalists and not only won, but held onto power.
For this, communists today recognise the Russian Revolution as the greatest event in human history. It is for the same reason that today’s capitalists and their cronies seek to pour slander and scorn on the real history of the revolution.
As Alessio Marconi, a leading comrade in Italy explains, it is our duty today to defend the legacy of the Russian Revolution, which is a beacon to all class fighters. It remains proof in practice that the ruling class can be defeated, and that a new form of society is possible.
