Capitalism is on the brink. An entire generation has known only crisis, austerity, and climate catastrophe. Everywhere we look there is war, poverty, and exploitation. And yet the rich continue to see their wealth grow enormously.
People are correctly beginning to draw the conclusion that the root of the problem is capitalism itself. A third of young people in Britain now believe that ‘communism is the ideal system’.
But we need more than an ‘ideal’. We need a revolution. And the only force capable of transforming society is the working class, when organised and mobilised.
The working class is now on the move, in Britain and across the world. But for it to be victorious, a fighting revolutionary leadership is required.
Revolution Festival, hosted by the International Marxist Tendency in Britain, is a three-day school of communist ideas, held from 10-12 November in central London – put on for the sole purpose of training and educating the revolutionary leadership needed for the struggle ahead.
