The world needs radical resistance – against exploitation, repression, war and the destruction of our climate. No Jusitice, No Peace! The general strikes against the genocide in Gaza in Italy have shown us a glimpse of how our class can halt the system with international solidarity. If we want a good, sustainable future, we MUST stop capitalism.

Politicians and corporation bosses want to cling to the system. They maneuver us further and further towards authoritarian states, wars, poverty, injustice and into the climate catastrophe, while they enrich themselfes. Daily, they kill refugees, divide us with racism, sexism and transphobia, thereby – as in the 1930s – sowing the seed for fascist parties, that only wait for their chance to destroy everything associated with grass root emancipation.

Sice more than a hundred years, our side mobilizes millions of people worldwide to take to the streets against repression – many rights were achieved by this fight. But we need People capable of developing revolutionary perspectives from out of these movements – until we finally defeat fascists and capitalism. The MARX IS MUSS Conference is the place in Vienna, where international activists meet to discuss strategies, theorie and practice and to develop hope and resilience for the next battles.

You don’t want to watch how people are killed in Palestine and how Kickl and Co spread their lies? You want to stand up against transphobia and for the rights of refugees? At the MARX IS MUSS Conference, we provide a possibility to discuss perspectives and to organise yourself. Join uns and get involved.


All Tickets are valid for all Conference events from 29th to 31st of May 20206. Tickets can also be bought on site.
