    Virtual Event
    Book Event or Panel

    How might a twenty-first-century revolution against class society succeed? Join us for a conversation with Jasper Bernes, author of The Future of Revolution: Communist Prospects from the Paris Commune to the George Floyd Uprising. Communism comes from the future, but its hopes haunt our past. Bernes reads the revolutionary history of workers’ councils and communes in the light of thinkers from Karl Marx to Paul Mattick and C.L.R. James.

    Francis Fukuyama proclaimed The End of History in the 1990’s; art critic Arthur C. Danto proclaimed The End of Art in the 1960s. The genesis of both concepts are credited to Hegel. The MEP’s recurring series Hegel for Radicals resumes with a seminar on Hegel’s Lectures on Aesthetics, where we will study his understanding of art and literature.

About Our Programs 

The Marxist Education Project (MEP) operates a unique radical adult education center with roots dating back forty-five years. Our classes, book release events, and panel discussions explore the roots of oppression and give voice to resistance and liberation. After years of in-person programs, we went online in 2020 at the advent of Covid. Our programs provide deep background on issues of class, race, gender, sexuality, and climate. We do this by teaching, reading literature together, and opening up lively, respectful debate.
