Revolution 2020

Revolution 2020 is a three-day festival of Marxist ideas, hosted online and across Britain by Socialist Appeal on 23-25 October, with 20 sessions covering current events, history, philosophy, and economics. See below for a sample of the incredible sessions on offer over the whole weekend.

The theme of this year's event is A World on Fire. From the global COVID-19 pandemic, to the climate catastrophe, to the mass movements against racism and oppression: it is clear that the system is broken. The old world is dying; and a new society is struggling to be born.

With capitalism in its deepest ever crisis, and with the status quo collapsing all around us, we will be discussing the revolutionary ideas needed for activists looking to organise, fight, and transform the world today.
