We present here a video of the opening speech from this year’s Winter School of the International Marxist Tendency, hosted by the UCLU Marxist Society and Socialist Appeal in London, in which Alan Woods – editor of www.marxist.com – discusses the relevance of Marxism today.

To mark the 130th anniversary of the death of Karl Marx we are republishing here a revised version of an article by the late Phil Mitchinson.

last Saturday, as I was on my way to the National Conference of
Socialist Appeal. It was a sad moment for me and brought back many
memories of my early days in the Trotskyist Movement.
