Judy Cox | This House Believes the 21st Century Can Make Marxism Work | Cambridge Union

Описание: Judy Cox speaks as first proposition on Thursday 29th February 2024 at 8:00pm in the Debating Chamber.

Despite its origins in 19th and 20th Century politics, a fierce debate has been raging over the applicability of Marxism to an era in which production is shifting beyond its industrial roots. Despite the end of the Cold War, record numbers of young people are now identifying as Marxists.

With growing questions surrounding the increasing inequality and alienation being sown by new technologies, perhaps it is time to reappraise Marxist ideals? Or are the Marxists of the 21st Century doomed to repeat the totalitarian mistakes of their 20th century predecessors?
