Workers World Party marked the May 5 birth of Karl Marx with a forum in New York City applying the science of Marxism to the burning issues of today. Presenting this ‘Marxism sampler’ were five leaders of WWP, some of whom are also leaders in coalitions and mass movements. “How would Marx view the world capitalist crisis today?” and “Marxist theory and practice on victory through class struggle” were addressed. Speakers also demonstrated how Marxism contributes to understanding and pursuing gains in the fight for immigrant rights; for national liberation and self determination; for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer rights; and against women’s oppression.
The speakers were Teresa Gutierrez, a member of the WWP secretariat and organizer for the May 1 Coalition for Worker & Immigrant Rights; Larry Holmes, WWP’s First Secretary and an organizer of Occupy 4 Jobs; Larry Hales, Workers World newspaper contributing editor and activist against racist state repression; LeiLani Dowell, Workers World newspaper managing editor and LGBTQ activist; and Julie Fry, vice president of UAW Local 2325, Association of Legal Aid Attorneys, an activist and people’s lawyer. Joyce Chediac, a WW Education Committee member, chaired the meeting. Go to www.youtube.com/WWPvideo to view the talks.
