The event is in English Kom til foredrag og samtale på Arbejdermuseet. Vi får besøg af historikerne bag det internationale forskningsprojekt: Transplanting Socialism, og den amerikanske professor Andrew Hartman, der er aktuel med bogen Karl Marx in America. I samtale med Mogens Lykketoft, tidligere udenrigsminister og præsident for FNs Generalforsamling, tager Hartman pulsen på nutidens amerikanske venstrefløj og dens politiske muligheder på kort og langt sigt. Since the 2008 financial crisis, an American left has struggled to reemerge as a vital force on the American political landscape. The surprisingly popular presidential campaigns run by the democratic socialist Bernie Sanders are a possible way to measure this reemergence. Another way to evaluate the current state of the American left is that rate at which more Americans are reading, writing, and thinking about Karl Marx since the 1960s or perhaps even 1930s. But, in a time when the Democratic Party seems powerless in the face of right-wing authoritarianism, what does this mean for the future of the American left?
