About

The Marxist Summer School unites people who seek to understand the world—so they can change it.

We offer training sessions, workshops, and conferences on Marxism. Because we believe this analytical framework is more relevant than ever. From classical Marxist questions to today’s hot topics—no subject is too complex. At the Marxist Summer School, we come together to empower people to fight more effectively—and passionately—for a better world.

Marxist Summer School is an initiative of the Institute for Marxist Studies (IMAST), in collaboration with:

  • Transform! europe

  • Rosa Luxemburg Stiftung

  • International People's Assembly

  • Tricontinental Institute

  • Lava Media
