Surge of far right across world
Wed Jan 7, 6:00 PM
Arun
The talk will examine the major political developments unfolding across the world, with a particular focus on the rise and consolidation of far-right forces internationally. It will explore how Marxist analysis can be applied to characterise the modern state, including the Indian state, and what this characterisation reveals about the nature of power, repression, and class rule today.
Building on this analysis, the discussion will address the strategic questions that arise from such an understanding of the state. It will examine what kinds of political strategies are necessary to confront authoritarianism, communalism, and neoliberal attacks on workers and oppressed communities.
The talk will also raise a critical question: why has the “left,” in general, failed to achieve any major political breakthrough in recent years? It will assess the limitations of existing left strategies, organisational weaknesses, and political compromises, while opening a discussion on what needs to change in order to build an effective, principled, and mass-based left alternative.

T Senan, committee of workers international (CWI)
