UAL Marxist Exhibition: This Monday, March 14th "GERM OF REVOLUTION" - one night only! PDF Print E-mail

We are living through extraordinary times. Due to the deepest crises since the Second World War the bourgeoisie is desperately trying to recover the economic equilibrium, which has been shattered by the collapse of the boom. The problem that they face is that all the measures that they have taken to restore the economic equilibrium will completely destroy the social and political equilibrium. Now more than ever we need an art to reflect these extraordinary times.

Hieronymus Bosch and the art of the death agony of feudalism PDF Print E-mail
Written by Alan Woods, International Marxist Tendency   
Thursday, 23 December 2010 00:00

Hieronymus Bosch was one of the most remarkable and original painters of all time. His works were painted five hundred years ago, yet they seem astonishingly modern, anticipating surrealism. This is the art of a world in a state of turbulence, torn by contradictory tendencies – a world in which the light of reason has been extinguished and where animal passions have gained the upper hand, a world of terror and violence, a living nightmare. In short – a world very like our own. Alan Woods examines it from the standpoint of historical materialism.

Poetry from the Student Movement: Caution PDF Print E-mail
Written by Walaa Quisay, SOAS university   
Thursday, 02 December 2010 14:35

After being Kettled and mocked by the police on the 24th of November, and after watching the media's insane manipulation of what had happened, I wrote this as a tribute all the comrades who protested with me to maintain what their grandparents and parents fought for (the right to free education). Those previous generations were the footsoldiers of the labour movement, and their victories we must defend.

Solidarity, Walaa Quisay
