Event Details

  • Friday, January 16, 2026
    5:00 PM - 7:00 PM

For over a century, Marxism has had every possible insult and confusion levied against it by capitalists. Everyone from Trump to Bernie Sanders has been labeled a Marxist at some point. 
There are so many people interested in learning about communism and about Marxism. Our aim with this event is to clear the fog around Marxism, and set the record straight as to what it is and why it's important. 
This will be a presentation on Dialectical Materialism, Class Struggle, and our revolutionary aims, from our club president Lyn and a guest speaker, Marissa O. from the RCP, as well as a Q&A at the end. 
Please reach out to us by email (peterboroughcommunists@gmail.com) or on Instagram (@ptbocommunists) to RSVP or if you have any questions
