Historical materialism. And rainbows.

I can't go to this, as usual (though at least I'm apparently not missing China MiƩville this time) but isn't the header the most wonderful thing you've seen in awhile? And they say Marxists don't have a sense of humour.

(The font is utter shit, though.)

i haven't been to one of these before but i am curious why a lot of the lectures are not (or are they?) about marxist struggles. like for some reason there's a bunch of palestine-relevant lectures, as well as queer stuff and patriarchy stuff... i dunno why they would be in that conference. i feel like marxists today are trying to appropriate every struggle as a marxist struggle.

What's a marxist struggle?

Marx is a tool for analysis...

I agree with the last sentence though.
