What better way to spend these chilly winter evenings than sitting down with a warming drink and having read of the brand new In Defence of Marxism magazine? Issue #52 is an edition packed with articles all about the decision facing humanity today: socialism or barbarism.
As many people see today, humanity is on the precipice of collapse. Mad politicians, social upheaval and climate catastrophe surround people’s daily existence. People are looking for a way forward out of this mess. In a world dominated by imperialism, with monopolies crushing everyone under foot this gives rise to struggle, class struggle
This edition looks at the Sudanese Revolution of 2018-21 in which the masses rose up against barbarism, and was one of the most powerful revolutionary movements this century. However, it also showed the tragic consequences of the failure to have a decisive class independent leadership.
From the Paris Commune to the Anti-Vietnam movement, there are real examples of the incredible potential of the class struggle, but all these examples express the need for a revolutionary party to carry the lessons from the past and give expression to these conclusions.
This issue also includes a book review of Thomas Mann’s Magic Mountain which captures the decadence of a class that had outlived its historic function.
