200 meetings and forums plus cinema, music and art Final version of the timetable now available "Marxism, at which I speak at every year, is one of the most important universities of the labour movement. It brings together a vast range of people. It is an honour to be invited, and I am very much looking forward to the discussion and debate that will go on" Faced with a world dominated by war, inequality and deepening economic crisis, thousands of people will gather at Marxism to discuss how we can unite in the fight for a better world. We will be joined by leading activists, theorists, trade unionists, writers and campaigners from around the globe. Throughout the five days there will be over 200 meetings and forums to choose from plus some of the best radical music, film and art to enjoy. It will be a feast of political debate and cultural events. We hope you will join us. Highlights include Tony Benn asks how the left should respond to a world in crisis Nick Davies exposes distortion in the media Moazzam Begg and David Edgar discuss resisting Islamophobia Lindsey German, Sally Hunt and Melissa Benn discuss 40 years since the Women’s Liberation Movement Gary Younge looks at prospects for change in the US Mark Serwotka, Alex Kenny and others on the unions, resistance, and the rank and file Chris Harman and Alain Krivine look at 1968 and its legacy John Holloway and Alex Callinicos debate strategies for changing the world Lemn Sissay, John Hegley and Adrian Mitchell perform the poetry of liberation Meena Menon and Chris Nineham discuss the experience and future of the World Social Forum John Rees makes the case for socialism Weyman Bennett asks how do we stop the BNP?
