The International Marxist University is 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, this year's IMU 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.

All talks and discussions will be translated into multiple languages to maximise participation internationally.

The International Marxist Tendency has produced a reading list to politically prepare ahead of the event, you can find this here.

In Britain, we will be hosting watch-parties across the country, so comrades can enjoy the event in the company of fellow Marxists. These will be announced soon, so keep an eye on our social media!
