Today is Marx’s birthday. To celebrate, Socialist Appeal is premiering a new documentary on Marx’s life in London. Join us to watch this online at 6pm - and join us to help build the forces of Marxism.
Today is the anniversary of the Communist Manifesto. This monumental work is one of the most read texts in history, containing a wealth of ideas. It is also a rallying call to the working class - even more powerful today than when it was written.
This weekend, Socialist Appeal supporters are organising a Marxist day school in Manchester, once the home of Friedrich Engels, the lifelong friend and collaborator of Karl Marx. Adam Booth looks at the invaluable contribution Engels made to the ideas of Marxism.
