The Brecht Forum’s annual Summer Intensive is designed as an introduction to the theoretical and practical traditions that trace their origins to the works of Karl Marx and Frederich Engels. In laying bare the inner workings of the capitalist system of wealth production and distribution, Marx and Engels laid the basis for theoretical explorations into every area of human activity from art criticism to the environment. As the current crisis deepens, and as working people watch the values of their homes plummet, and their savings wiped out, and the State finds itself deploying more of the public wealth to save private capital people are demanding answers that respect their intelligenceand get to the root of the problem.
Through lectures, readings and lively discussion, in an adamantly open-minded environment, participants will be introduced to Karl Marx' revolutionary critique of capitalism--not to find a ready-made blueprint for change, nor a dogma that excludes other traditions, but for tools of analysis that can help us to think more strategically and act more effectively.
