Marxism 2004 a socialist festival and conference




Marxism 2004 a socialist festival and conference
9th-16th July
Central London
www.marxism2004.net
020 7538 2707


This July will see thousands of socialists, anti-war activists, trade unionists, anti-capitalists and other campaigners from around the world come together in central London. Marxism is the biggest socialist conference in Britain, where people can come together to discuss and debate issues on a wide range of subjects with some of the best speakers from around the world. But Marxism is about more than meetings- it’s about the chance to meet other activists and campaigners and share experiences. Every evening after the meetings have finished a wide choice of cultural events (Live music, DJ’s, Films and theatre)to suit everybody will be taking place. Marxism has a free crèche and we can arrange free accommodation during the event.
