Rage against Racism: Meetings and discussion at Marxism 2015
Events in the United States have shone a spotlight on the issue of police racism and violence.  
Racists and right wingers are trying to use the terrible killings in Paris to divide working people, justify imperialist intervention and whip up Islamophobia.  The attacks came as racists and fascists are on the offensive across Europe.
And in Britain politicians – and UKIP in particular – seek to profit from racism.

In just a few weeks on 21 March anti racists will take to the streets to show that there is opposition and an alternative to racism. For more details go to http://uaf.org.uk/2015/02/stand-up-to-racism-and-fascism-21-march-2015-2/

We need to rage against racism on the streets on 21 March in the run up to the General Election. We also need clear strategies for stopping the racists and fascists.

Marxism 2015 will be a place for such discussion. There will be a whole range of meetings including ones on
  • Malcolm X
  • Selma and the Civil Rights Movement
  • Police, racism and the state
  • Islamophobia
  • After Charlie Hebdo: Religion, racism and free speech

Check out these meeting from last year’s Marxism Festival:

Investor sees 'great returns' from new digital media

Image
Vucinic, photo by Ted.com Many media investors see disaster everywhere they look, as traditional media lose audience, revenues, and relevance. Sasa Vucinic, co-founder and co-managing director of North Base Media , sees great investment opportunities, especially in developing markets, such as Central Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Latin America. "We invest in serious digital-only media oriented toward the younger audience that can disrupt their markets. And we think it�s a phenomenal business that will bring great financial returns." Vucinic, who began his journalism career in Serbia, has been a crusader for media organizations that tell the truth about corrupt, oppressive regimes. I reached him via Skype in South Korea, where he was looking at investment opportunities. I wanted to ask him about social purpose investing , where investors direct their money toward organizations that not only give a financial return but also have a positive impact on society.

US: Atiku Abubakar In $40 Million Money-Laundering Accusation With Wife, Jennifer

A United States Senate report has accused Atiku Abubakar, Nigeria’s former Vice-President, of laundering over $40 million in suspicious funds into the United States between 2000 and 2008.

Inc., and Sima Holding Ltd. “In a 2008 civil complaint, the U.S. Secu
