Marxists Meet At Northwestern And Uw

Madison & Midwest Marxism Conference

Saturday, Nov. 17, 10am- 7:30 pm

Sunday, Nov. 18, 12-2 pm

UW Campus

Millions of people have come to the understanding that capitalism is no longer working. And millions of people around the world–from mine workers in South Africa to students in Quebec to teachers in Chicago–are fighting back.

Marxism provides a revolutionary understanding and strategy for ridding society of exploitation and oppression once and for all. We want more than just resistance, we want to win! Join the Madison district of the International Socialist Organization, and others from around the region, for a weekend of radical politics, discussion and debate.

Talks and speakers include:
