Marxismuss

Socialist Conference in Berlin


24/05/2023

On Whitsun week-end (26th – 29th May), hundreds of activists from throughout Germany and beyond will come together in Berlin to discuss and network.

The Marxismuss conference begins on Friday with seminar day. Here, we take a full day to introduce different aspects of Marxist theory. On the following days, the conference offers over 100 meetings – a diverse and exciting programme of presentations, debates and panel discussions.

The conference is organised by the marx21 network. We want to contribute to strengthening the Left and die LINKE, so as to build an alternative power to capitalism.
