A delegation of the Academy of Marxism of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences recently visited London, and on 1 September, a meeting was held between the delegation and the Secretary of the Institute’s Xi Jinping Study Group.

“Since fairly early in the past century, … the most advanced revolutionary theory largely emanates from the Global South”, Keith Bennett pointed out, citing the work of Mao Zedong, Amilcar Cabral, Xi Jinping, and others, at the launch of a book published by Iskra Press by the Iraqi communist Ibrahim Allawi at the Marx Memorial library on 21 August 2024.

80 guests thronged London’s newly-opened Palestine House on Saturday 3 August to celebrate Keith Bennett’s 66th birthday, including representatives of socialist countries and of progressive organisations and other comrades and friends.
