Come along to Socialist Appeal's Day School on the Revolutionary Philosophy of Marxism, featuring talks by Alan Woods, Hamid Alizadeh and Daniel Morley

Many people think philosophy is irrelevant to the working class. But the ruling class does not think so, as every effort is made to discredit Marxist philosophy. Marxism is attacked for its belief in progress and the possibility of a better society. It is criticised for being too simplistic, for generalising too much, and naively believing human society can be understood.

Postmodern cynicism and pessimism have come to dominate public opinion. In this way, the ruling class tries to undermine the working class' confidence in their own ability to fight for socialism.

Despite that, we live in an age of militant protests and burning anger at injustice. What this anger needs is clear ideas with which to change the world, and confidence in these ideas. What it needs is a revolutionary philosophy. That philosophy is Marxism. This day school will introduce you to the key questions in philosophy, and the arguments of Marxism against the accusations of postmodernism.

10am-12pm: Materialism and Knowledge: Can we understand the world as it really is?
1pm-3pm: Marxism v Postmodernism: Is progress possible?
3pm-5pm: Is Marxism Fatalistic?
