A deepening of Marxist theory in Atlanta and Buffalo Sept. 7-8

As the economic and climate crises deepen, Workers World Party is growing steadily into a strong force for socialist revolution. On Sept. 7-8, WWP will host two simultaneous Marxism schools, one in Atlanta and one in Buffalo, N.Y., where new members can deepen their theoretical and practical knowledge in order to become the best fighters for the working class and oppressed people. 

The Atlanta Marxism School will include organizers and activists from Georgia, Florida, Alabama, South Carolina, North Carolina, Washington, D.C., and beyond. Classes will focus on organizing in the South, the need for a Leninist party, and the struggle against racism in the U.S. South. Saturday evening, WWP will host a public program with First Secretary Larry Holmes, who will focus on “What Road to Socialism?” and on debates among the global left. More details for this public event will be posted on the Workers World Party-Atlanta Facebook page. 

Over 60 years ago, a handful of revolutionaries founded Workers World Party in Buffalo, N.Y. Today, Buffalo is a growing branch of young revolutionaries.  

Organizers from Massachusetts,  New York state, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Illinois will be converging on the birthplace of Workers World Party to celebrate the party’s 60 years of dedication to Marxism-Leninism and the struggle for revolutionary socialism on Sept. 7-8.  Classes will include “Reparations and the National Question,” led by WW Managing Editor Monica Moorehead; “Cadre and the Need for a Leninist Party”; “China & U.S. Imperialism”; and lessons from WWP’s 60-year history. On Saturday night WWP will lead a demonstration in downtown Buffalo in solidarity with El Paso, Texas, and against white supremacist, fascistic attacks.

On Sept. 8, Buffalo Marxism School attendees will have an organizing skills training led by union leaders, as well as a discussion on the party’s intervention in the mass struggle, including initiatives to fight the capitalist climate crisis, build solidarity with migrants and oppose U.S. imperialism’s growing attacks abroad.
