About the book
In the summer of 2020, the International Marxist-Humanist Organization held its convention with the aim to develop an alternative to capitalism. Grounded in the unique philosophy and practice of Marxist-Humanism, its international members gathered to discuss race, class, gender, environmental destruction and revolution in light of the COVID-19 pandemic and Black Lives Matter uprisings. Collected in this book are those reports from a diverse group of revolutionaries and activists edited for print. By taking on the challenge of redeveloping Marxism for our age, the contributors provide a seed for a new beginning. A project all are invited to participate in.
