Across the world, nationalism and racism are on the rise, while the Left is in intellectual and strategic disarray. Comparisons with the crisis of the 1930s are invoked. Categories such as ‘fascism (or "new fascism'), ‘populism' and ‘authoritarianism' are combined with analyses of transformations of imperialism and capitalism to identify dominant tendencies and imagine forms of resistance and popular alternatives. This lecture will select some key conceptual issues and attempt a clarification from a post-Marxist standpoint.
The lecture will be followed by a reception at October Gallery, 24 Old Gloucester Street, London WC1N 3AL – supported by a generous private donor.
The lecture is free but registration is required.
Booking is essential to attend this event.
