The U.S. Marxist-Humanists organization, grounded in Marx’s Marxism and Raya Dunayevskaya’s ideas, aims to develop a viable vision of a truly new human society that can give direction to today’s many freedom struggles.
March 5th, 2011 will mark 140 years since the birth of a figure who should be as well-known and celebrated as Che Guevara: her name is Rosa Luxemburg. To commemorate the occasion, and to inaugurate a decade-long project to properly restore the life and thought of this extraordinary woman, Verso Books presents The Letters of Rosa Luxemburg.

Read More...La Organización Humanista Marxista Internacional tiene como objetivo establecer una unidad entre la teoría y la práctica, entre el trabajador y el intelectual, entre la filosofía y la organización. Nuestro objetivo es lograr desarrollar y proyectar una visión viable de una sociedad realmente nueva, que dote de orientación y dirección a la multiplicidad de luchas por la liberación contemporáneas. Nuestras ideas encuentran sus fundamentos en la totalidad del marxismo del propio Marx, en el cuerpo de ideas de Raya Dunayevskaya y en las contribuciones filosóficas únicas que han guiado al humanismo marxista desde sus orígenes en la década de los años 50.

In an increasingly globalized world, the cross-cultural exchange of ideas and struggles between those in developed and developing countries takes on added importance. It is often overlooked that one thinker who had a lot to say about the role of multiculturalism in an increasingly globalized world was capitalism’s most important critic—Karl Marx. This series of six discussions will explore Marx’s lesser-known writings on nationalism, ethnicity, and non-Western societies that take on new importance in light of today’s realities. Readings will include excerpts from Marx’s works as well as Kevin Anderson’s new book Marx at the Margins. Readings are available from USMH.
Speakers:
- Mansour M., Iranian cultural worker
- Greg Burris, radical film critic just returned from the Middle East
