International Socialism journal is holding a one-day conference marking the 70th anniversary of Gramsci's death.

Gramsci's revolutionary ideas were the product of the upsurge in workers' struggles in Italy following the First World War, centred on the city of Turin. But many of his ideas, ripped from their context, have been used to justify
political positions completely at odds with those held by Gramsci-most notoriously the "historic compromise" which saw the Italian Communist Party help bail out the capitalist system in the 1970s.

Today there is a revival of interest in Gramsci in the anti-capitalist movement. This conference is an intervention in the debate over the real legacy of Gramsci's Marxism.

Sessions on:
- The Turin Experience
- The Politics of Gramsci
- Reclaiming the Prison Notebooks

Hosted by London School of Economics Socialist Worker Student Society
