I International Congress of Political Debate

CFP: Buenos Aires, Oct-Nov 2008

Working Men of All Countries, Unite!
Crisis and revolution in today’s world. Analysis and perspectives

Buenos Aires - October, 29 and 30 and November 1, 2008

“The end of History” can be considered as one of most flawed predictions ever heard. Instead of accepting passively the painful consequences of capitalism, the world’s proletarians respond in different ways. Latin-American insurrections, Iraqi resistance and strikes in Europe show that class struggle remains at center stage in world politics. Fukuyama’s mistaken characterization exemplifies the inability of bourgeois science to analyse and understand reality.

The ongoing instability which interferes in capital accumulation requires other instruments to be understood. The working class owes itself a scientific debate to anticipate tendencies and clarify political tasks that need to be carried out. Different political organizations, parties, journals, research centers and independent intellectuals work separately in order to accomplish this duty. It is time to join forces. That is the reason we are organizing this I International Congress of Political Debate: an opportunity of discussion and intellectual confrontation which will contribute to the construction of the workers’ international unity. Because when it comes to facing capitalist barbarism, the working class is still the only one that can make History move on.
