Revolutionary study series
Can Marxism show us how to change the world?
Many of the classic writings of Marxism were written long ago and in very different contexts. Do these classics still explain the downward economic and political decline of capitalism today? Do they explain the ability of the system to both provoke and prevent resistance? Does it provide the tools we need to achieve the better world? How can we add to Marxist theory with our lived experience today?
