Listen to Alan Woods give the closing
remarks at the Marxist Summer School in London on June 19th 2011. As Lenin
said, without revolutionary theory there can be no revolutionary
movement. This is all the more relevant at the present time, where from
the bourgeois economists to the left and right reformists, all but the
Marxists are at a loss to explain the current capitalist crisis, and as a
consequence, how to proceed.
The Spanish Civil War holds many important lessons for revolutionaries today. In this Marxist Voice, Joe Russell draws out these lessons.
The struggle against South African apartheid is a source of inspiration across the world. However, the understanding of how it was overthrown is limited, especially in the West. With the struggle to free Palestine, this topic holds a particular importance, as many on the left explain their support for the Boycott, Divest, Sanction movement on the lessons of South Africa. But what does this period really tell us about how our struggle today can be successful?
In this talk from Revolution Festival 2024, Fiona Lali explains the view of communists on this vital struggle.
The genocide of Palestinians over the last 2 years has become a lightening rod for all the accumulated anger in society. People have been exposed to the bombing of hospitals, videos of mothers pulling their babies from the rubble and the vile response from governments internationally – that Israel ‘has the right to defend itself’. Since October 7th 2023, millions across the world have come out to defend Palestine with demonstrations and encampments. It is clear that more is needed. The general strike in Italy has shown the way forward. Speaking at a meeting of the RCP in Central London, Fiona Lali lays out how the Palestine movement can be successful and the job of communists in achieving this.
