[Marxism] Marxism convention in Buenos Aires videos

[Leonardo Kosloff <holmoff10@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

A convention organized in Buenos Aires by the Instituto del Pensamiento 
Socialista (Institute for Socialist Thought) Karl Marx and I think mainly put 
together by the Partido de los Trabajadores Socialistas (which translates to 
Socialist Workers Party though they are not affiliated to the SWP here or in 
Britain, they are part of Fracción Trotskista, a coalition of different 
Trotskyist groupings in Latin America which characterize Chávez as a Bourgeois 
Nationalist) took place November of last year.
 
The convention's talks, however, were mainly composed of Argentine university 
professors like Claudio Katz, who may be familiar to some here, 
(http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=4961886943545911430&hl=en , this one 
is quite heated and…fun. Katz runs the group Economistas de Izquierda 
–economists of the left- and, among the rest of the professors, is the most 
supportive of Chávez), Eduardo Sartelli 
(http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=5079885612550556328&hl=en 
  who had interesting things to say, although I found his characterization of 
Chavez as a ‘Bonapartist’ a little too facile, though he did add a number of 
qualifications,) Juan Iñigo Carrera 
(http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=5440417934736892743&hl=en ), who seems 
to be a very fine scholar from what I read of him, he contributed an article to 
Historical Materialism a couple years ago, etc. etc.
 
They are all in Spanish so I’m not sure how much I should write as an 
introduction, but in case you haven’t seen them (or you want to learn Spanish a 
la Marx), here they are. There were 5 days of talks, the last one was a 
commemoration in honor to the historian Alberto Plá, but you should be able to 
find the rest of them from the users who posted them.
