It is with heavy heart that I see due to the Corona virus pandemic, the Marxism 2020 conference, a fixture of the radical left's calendar, has been indefinitely postponed. In this statement on the conference website, the organisers speak of the importance of continuing to fight against the evils of capitalism. Never mind that the Corona virus originated in a Communist dictatorship, and is arguably a direct consequence of it, as the American Enterprise Institute has observed. Without being able to contact the organisers to give them a right of reply, why are they so obstinate that they cannot see this?
This ideology has devastated the lives of millions of people. As the world grapples with the economic and social disruption of the Corona virus, it beggars belief that there is a small core of people who want to perpetuate the political system that created it.
