The discussion will also ask:
Is every generation compelled to produce its own โMarxismโ? If so, what kind of Marxism is needed in this conjuncture from the perspective of Gen Z?
Co-organized by The Workers' School, the Marxist Forum, and rift.
โWhat draws younger generations to Marxism today? What do they find useful in it? What do they find limiting? How can those limits be overcome?
Young students and workers will reflect on how they encountered Marxism and why they engage with it today.

Then came the 2008 crash, stagnant wages, a pandemic that exposed the failures of the social safety net, intensifying genocide and imperialist rearmament, and a climate crisis growing harder to ignore.
Enter Gen Z.
