[Amsterdam] Fascism, Capitalism and a Marxist-Humanist Response
Description: When Trump and other right-wing populists enforce and advocate tariffs, liberals complain that they hinder free-market capitalism. In this talk, we will delve into the question of how fascism relates to the logic of capital, and what would characterize a revolutionary Marxist-Humanist response.
Karel Ludenhoff will be starting off the discussion. Suggested reading, both by Ludenhoff:
- In the Ocean of Crisis: Right-wing Populism and Awakening Fascism vs. Marxist-Humanism and Freedom – IMHO Journal
- Reflections on the German Elections, February 23, 2025 – IMHO Journal
Speaker: Karel Ludenhoff, an Amsterdam-based labor activist and a writer on Marx’s critique of political economy whose essays have appeared in Logos and other journals.
