The CME has been educating revolutionists since 1975 by hosting events that are free and open to the public. Through the generosity of volunteers, we provide lectures, films, book talks, strategy meetings and discussion groups from global, national, and local socialists for anyone who believes that capitalism isn't working, and wants to find a better way. We regret that the CME is not accessible.
EVENTS ARE BEING HOSTED ON ZOOM October 2020Saturday, October 24 | 6:00 PM
The Spook Who Sat By the Door (1973) Zach George, CPUSA, Center for Marxist Education Grab your dinner and spot at the table, and join us for a great film and discussion! In order to improve his standing with Black voters, a White Senator starts a campaign for the CIA to recruit Black agents. However, all are graded on a curve and doomed to fail, save for a soft-spoken veteran named Dan Freeman. After grueling training in guerrilla warfare, clandestine operations and unarmed combat, he is assigned a meager job as the CIA's token Black employee. After five years of racist and stereotyped treatment by his superiors, he quietly resigns to return to his native Chicago to work for a social services agency...by day. By night, he trains a street gang to be the vanguard in an upcoming revolution, using all that the CIA has taught him...

New Insights Into the Fall of the Soviet Union and Disunity in the World Labor Movement Wadi'h Halabi, CPUSA and Center for Marxist Education A Marxist understanding of the fall of the Soviet Union is essential to resume humanity's transition from capitalism to socialism. This presentation takes a historical approach -- "What problems did the Bolshevik party face as of November 7, 1917, and how could these have set the stage for the fall of the Soviet Union 74 years later?" The analysis has implications for practice today. Bring a notebook and your doubts, and count on a lively discussion.
