They said that Marx was dead.  Then came the realities of
globalization.  Then came endless wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.  Then
came the greatest economic crisis since the Great Depression.  Now,
Marx's ideas seem to explain the world a lot better than what you see
on the mainstream news. 

 
But Marx also predicted that the inequalities of capitalism would
give rise to resistance.  And we've only just begun to see the
emergence of a new generation of struggles, from the protests for
immigrant rights, to the factory occupations of workers in Chicago, to
the massive outpouring of solidarity with the people of Gaza and
Palestine, and to the struggle for Gay Marriage.

Socialists believe that these struggles can be joined to fight for a
different type of society.  Come to a discussion of Marx's ideas and
how they apply to today.  As Marx himself said, "philosophers have only
interpreted the world, the point is to change it."
