On our new statement, “Capitalism and the Ecological Crisis.” The climate crisis won’t and can’t be solved without overthrowing capitalism. The source of the problem isn’t ill will, ideology, or greed, but capitalism’s law of value and the reckless, anarchic growth that flows from it.

Participation is by invitation. Write a few lines about yourself and what interests you about MHI and send to mhi@marxisthumanistinitiative.org by Jan. 22.

“Raya Dunayevskaya: Biography of an Idea”

MHI is happy to distribute this documentary film by Alex Fletcher. It explores many major concepts of the philosopher, activist, and feminist Raya Dunayevskaya, who developed Marxist-Humanism over much of the last century, up until her death in 1987. The 79-minute film contains rare video clips of her speeches and offers glimpses of material in her archives, as well as featuring interviews of 3 MHI members who belonged to Dunayevskaya’s organization during her lifetime.
