"Hi everyone, I’m a Marxist-Leninist and anti-revisionist looking to join a political party in Canada. My ideology aligns closely with Leninist principles and strong opposition to revisionism. I’ve looked into the Marxist-Leninist Party of Canada (MLPC) and the Communist Party of Canada (CPC), but I’m unsure which aligns more with my values.

I value revolutionary change over reformism.

I’m committed to antifascism and anti-imperialism.

I want to be involved in activism and building socialism in Canada.

For those who are familiar with these parties, their policies, or their activism:

1. Which one should I join as a committed Marxist-Leninist?

2. Are there other groups or movements I should consider?

3. What should I know before reaching out or getting involved?

Thanks in advance for your advice!

On Jan 20th, we’re not just going out into the streets to fight against Trump, but also to hold the Democrats here accountable for how they’ve mishandled the fire crisis and poured money into police instead of firefighters and community resources, we will not allow them to hand over our city to rich vultures, greedy developers, and ICE!

WE DEMAND:
1. Free and suitable housing: open up vacant hotels and residences to fire victims!
2. Cancel rents and mortgages: stop all payments for residents in evacuation zones!
3. Stop the price gouging: protect LA renters from soaring rents!
4. Full compensation now: guaranteed by the federal government and a surcharge tax on Exxon/Mobil, Chevron, and other energy companies, for a fund to compensate victims!
5. Fight the fire, not the people: stop the criminalization of Angelenos!
6. Resist disaster capitalism: rebuild LA by putting people over profits, not through greedy corporate redevelopment!

Just asking this to get an idea of how people here feel about this issue.

The current pushback against immigration to the UK often comes in the form of concerns of immigrants poaching economic opportunity from the UK's unemployed and homeless population. Alongside potential racism and xenophobia appear to be questions of what exactly they will do when/in immigrants fulfill the UK's employment needs.

This made me think back to the post-war consensus lead by socialists like Clement Attlee and Nye Bevan in the 1940s, where the focus was primarily on keeping Britons employed and healthy.

What do socialists make of this kind of economic protectionism today? Is there not a legitimate arguement that nations owe their current citizens a system whereby they can be rehabilitated, trained etc. to fulfill society's needs as a priority over relying upon immigrant populations to do this?

And what is to be done about the remaining unemployed and homeless citizens afterwards? If there is no opportunity for them, surely they are simply stuck in their predicament without realistic optimism?

When we look at trade blocs like the EU, they themselves impose protectionist policy in order to make goods produced by EU member states competitve with Chinese, Taiwanese etc. products (which can be produced and transported much cheaper, but at the cost of unethically low pay and poor conditions). Most people view this as a positive policy.

So, is there a legitimate arguement here that nations should be protecting the economic prospects of it's current citizenry before considering encouraging immigration to said country to fill shortfalls in employment?

I'm interested to here opinions on this.

If unemployment is an issue, why shouldn't nations prioritise employing it's current citizens over relying on economy-driven immigration?

I heard that monopoly capitalists competing over access to resources and markets caused the world wars. And subsequent imperialist wars have been fought to ensure big transnational capitalists unfettered access to resources and markets in the periphery. Of course there has also been war between peripheral countries, and I am not sure, but perhaps that is about their respective national capitalists competing or simply about territorial or other geopolitical disputes, in the context of an imperialist world. But I don't see why socialist states would not compete over resources and markets. Production and trade would still be important maybe even more important because it is directly being using for the people's welfare. I think this is true whether the socialist economy consists of worker cooperatives or public sector industries. People will be more motivated to fight over resources. I also don't see how changing productive relations ends geopolitical competition or the animosity between nations.

I heard that capitalism is the cause of militarism and war, but I don't understand why that wouldn't continue under socialism?

Hi all,

I am trying to find good news sources/analysis specifically concerning economics. I have quite a few go-to sources for politics and investigative journalism etc but I'm struggling to find good sources analysing economic affairs. For example, I see lots of news currently in UK mainstream media (where I live) talking about a possible downturn in the market and assessing Reeves' economic policies, but I can't find much analysis of this from a left-wing perspective. Can anyone point me to a good, ideally regular, source for these sort of things? Ideally from a UK or European perspective.

On Wednesday, January 15, City Council will vote on the anti-immigrant Ordinance 2023-0004222. This ordinance, if passed, would weaken Chicago’s sanctuary status by allowing CPD to collaborate with federal immigration authorities in cases regarding undocumented immigrants who are arrested or convicted of certain crimes.

This would effectively give ICE an open door to tear families apart, expand the police’s ability to terrorize our communities, and violate the basic democratic right to due process.

All people of conscience must reject this racist demonization of immigrants. Call your alder and tell them to vote NO on the Ordinance, and come out to City Hall on Wednesday, January 15 at 10AM to make it clear that we will fight back and defend immigrant families! 🪧

These are the type of despicable conditions incarcerated firefighters are forced to work under. The pay these workers receive is only slightly better than the absurd wages from
other prison jobs. Reductions in their sentences are also an incentive, yet they come at the expense of life-threatening working conditions.

Little Thomas and many other incarcerated workers put their lives at risk while the state of California neglects their responsibility with its citizens. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. We demand an end to prison-slave labor now.

What are your thoughts on the Colombian conflict? (FARC, ELN. etc.)

In 2016 FARC formally agreed to stand down and become a legal political party, but apparently there's some dissident factions which are still fighting? There's also the ELN, of course, and the EPL who are Hoxhaists.

I've heard that the FARC dissidents are mostly just tied up in the drug trade now. There's also the fact that Colombia now has a left-wing government which communists are part of. Basically, I'm looking for some sort of Marxist analysis of the Colombian conflict today. Who, if anybody, should we lend our support to?

HB 1136, introduced by Republicans Jake Teshka and Jeff Thompson, is a racist, antidemocratic, and anti-worker attack on public education. Charter schools are not the answer to the real problems in our education system!


Many know that Marx discouraged the 1871 Paris Commune from revolting before the revolution becauss he didnt think it would succeed. Yet he still supported it as a valuable revolutionary act by the proletariat when it happened anyway. Today, however, many leftists seem to reject similar actions that aren't "perfect" in favor of more ideologically pure strategies even after they've already been done, unlike Marx. For instance, solo acts like those of Luigi Mangione are often condemned, but Marx himself didn't hold to perfectionism when it came to revolutionary struggle. I even see some socialisra saying this which suprised me which is why I thought I'd ask: Why do you think modern leftists reject imperfect revolutionary actions despite Marx having embraced them?

Edit: Condemn here does not mean in moral sense. I'm asking if Marx would also believe Luigi's actions bring  any value to the wider movemen rather than say it harmed the movement or did absolutely nothing, even if he isn't the most revolutionary person. since yhis post is not saying that Mangione is the modern Lenin or something like that, he is just an example.

I have been trying to read up on theorists who may have analysed management from a socialist perspective, especially how they define the question of efficiency or productivity. I guess a lot of capitalist management theory looks at extracting the maximum surplus value from workers although their methods would vary. Socialists would, I presume, have a very different take on management - both in terms of goals and methods. Any suggestions on books/theorists who examined these issues would be welcome. Thanks!

Support Suspended Pro-Palestine Students


I’m sorry if this already exists but can we gather a list of essential books in case they start banning them?

I was recently reading Aristotle and even he was kind of saying the same things in a more abstract way. How far will they go with destroying knowledge?

Now it makes sense why humanity doesn’t remember any of the technology behind pyramids/stone henge etc. We do this periodically maybe in varying degrees, destroy all knowledge?

What books to secure

Sabotage the Cat

I created this guy after the black cat of sabotage from old posters. My idea is to take freely accessible information (books, videos, organizations, etc) and putting QR codes to those resources on his paper and him telling people to watch/read/support whatever the link takes you to. Might be a fun and subtle way to spread information.

I have read a few books that are socialist as of now and my most loved would be Animal Farm. One thing I noticed is that Stalin has been depicted in an antagonistic manner. I'm not new to his name, I've learned a bit about him in school and also heard alot of things about his regime mainly from the internet and  all of them seem to indicate that Stalin was a ruthless tyranical dictator who killed millions. I've seen people compare him to Hitler! Now I am no sheep- I know that world history is largely manipulated by the victors and often times, grossly exaggerated and cherry picked which is why I thought I should ask this question on this sub.

Which books would you guys recommend to learn more about leaders like Stalin or Mao? Are there ANY books written about them that aren't biased or were they just really that bad?

Where to get (accurate) information about controversial socialist leaders?

Methods were used like embargoes, sanctions, economic isolation, coups, sabotage, assassinations, proxy wars and even open warfare involving superpowers. Then ever since the 90s capitalists have claimed that socialism doesn't work or can't work. Ted Turner used the platforms that he owned to spam the US with such lies.

The British Empire did a lot of that too when they were the world's #1 power. The rulers of both nations couldn't stand the thought of nations existing for reasons other than a few getting rich by exploiting everyone else.

Also, what are some good, informative books about the suppression of socialist movements in capitalist countries?

edit.  If only the incredible geography of the US and its near guarantee of prosperity could be put to use benefiting all of humanity, not just a tiny fraction.

What are some good, informative books about how the US and other capitalist nations actively attacked and suppressed socialist nations to prevent them from succeeding?

What Marx think about Marx-Leninism


Hello comrades, as the title implies im looking for reading recommendations to learn more about how Germany became so hostile towards the jews leading to the holocaust. Ive been trying to find something that will answer this but all i can find start from 1941 or if it starts at 1933 it’s very simplified. Im trying to find something that gives more of a materialistic analysis, showing the laws passed to make jews a second class, how the culture changed during this time, who benefited, and so on.

 Also if you can give advice on how i could find works myself in the future that would be appreciated. Im not too good at finding works like this, so yeah please any help. Thank you.

Book/ works recommendations to learn more about the events leading up to the holocaust


I'm already part of a revolutionary party and spent 2 years as an activist (not as a leader as I mostly shown up for events, demonstrations, helped set things up and occasionally dabbled in public speaking)
I want to create more cultural change since I believe a cultural element is crucial, culture to be more encourage for working class consciousness, education and use of art and music to imagine a new future (Queue John Lennon song) as well as encourage new people to join the revolution. Just need the confidence to step up for that.
What ideas would people think would be able to attract people, something to engage people into wanting to sign up more people into radical politics?

It's quite relevant here.  This is what we are talking about.  This is the injustice of the capitalist regime.

**I have an infection-a bad one. I have been peeing pure blood, high fever, vomiting, stomach pains, ect. And I’m ready for my body to just give up on me. My period is late due to so much stress. I can’t continue on like this.**

**I have been taking out loans to pay for my apartment and expenses. So I can’t qualify for Medicaid and I’m an online grad student so I can’t go to my school for help with this. I have been applying to jobs for months. Any job. Walmart said I was too overqualified, places won’t move forward with me. I can’t do it. I’ve been wanting to prostitute myself due to needing the money.**

**My ex partner is an asshole and has called me a burden for feeling this way. I can’t afford my dogs medication either. DoorDash gets me nowhere and I’m wasting gas and putting miles on my lease that I’ll owe more mine when that’s up.**

**If you made it this far, thank you. I’m just laying in bed, very ill. I just hope someone can care for my dog when I’m gone.**

The Limerick Soviet was one of a number of workers' councils formed in Ireland between 1919 and 1923. At the beginning of the Irish War of Independence, a general strike was organized in protest of the British Army's declaration of a "Special Military Area". The soviet ran the city for two weeks.

While I deplore violence, I'm finding it harder and harder to see how significant change can be enacted without some kind of drastic action, including strikes and violent action that doesn't involve death. When looking for examples, I see the Civil rights movement in the United States, and their non-violent protests. On one hand, I see how the Civil rights movement undoubtedly enacted change that actually helped black be people in the United States, but on the other hand, I see how black people are still dissporpotionately poorer in the United States.

I look at the vested interests, such as businesses who payed black workers less, and political parties who used the issue of segregation to pull voters to the polls in its defence, and how they lost the battle to keep segregation.

Why was this non-violent movement different from the others in that it succeeded, or am I missing something or multiple important things in this scenario?

'Out of control': Cancer surgeon claims UnitedHealthcare questioned her mid-procedure


Hello, I'm here in DFW and I'm tired of sitting by and watching Capitalism destroy the planet as well as all the other social/economic issues that come along with it as well. I recently graduated with a degree in Urban Planning but I'm struggling to find a job now but hopefully, I can find a job at some point this year. Once I can get on my feet hopefully sometime this year I'm looking to join an organization as I've been keeping up with current events and listening to theory audiobooks while I work part-time at a warehouse. Any comrades organizing here in DFW what has been your experience and do you have any recommendations? The two organizations I have been interested in are the RCA and PSL and I've been to a few RCA meetings while I was in undergrad last year. I'm open to other alternatives as well but I would like to know what others experience has been both here in DFW and other large cities as well.

'Marxism Vs. Liberalism' (Josef Stalin) in 10 Minutes!


Climate change is not a potential crisis that we may be faced with in the future — it’s here right now. Whether record-breaking low temperatures in Texas or wildfires in California, it’s clear that neither the Republicans nor the Democrats are willing to or capable of taking the steps necessary to combat the rapidly changing climate. Both parties have also created the conditions for mass homelessness by funding police and the military instead of peoples’ needs, and allowing corporations to eviscerate labor protections.

The fight to end homelessness in the richest country in the world and to slow climate disaster are fights against the very same enemy — the violent capitalist system that refuses to meet even the most basic human needs in favor of enriching a small and wealthy elite. There is only one solution that can meet the scale of the problem — socialism!

Earlier this week, a homeless man in Houston taking shelter at a METRO stop froze to death while the “feels-like” temperature dropped to 18 degrees. This preventable tragedy is yet another example of the violence poor and working class people face under the brutal capitalist system.


I know some people who have expressed an interest in leftism and reading theory, but these people aren't great readers and especially struggle with older literature. Any recommendations? One is coming from an anti-capitalist but also anti-communist background and the others are conservative Americans. Thanks!

Modern theory/literature recommendations for people curious about Socialism?

So my friend in from Montana and goes to a fairly conservative boarding school with me. Although he has had a love filled with right wing capitalist propaganda, he still supports LGBTQIA+ rights, hates trump, and believe's the rich are very corrupt. I have been talking to him about socialism but he still seems very on the fence mainly because I don't know enough. He is 16, is neurodivergent and critical but open to new ideas. What do I tell him and how do I get him past years of indoctrination?

People's Trial of PG&E - Saturday January 11th in San Francisco


Tomorrow, if FEMA refuses to extend their vouchers, thousands of WNC residents staying in hotels on FEMA vouchers will be kicked out on the street in the middle of a snow storm.

After we went to the Mayor’s Office to demand immediate action, City Manager, Debra Campbell was successfully pressured to call FEMA and ask for the hotel vouchers to be extended.

City manager Campbell agreed to a list of demands that were written down and handed to her. Here is the list demands:

“Have city call FEMA and demand to extend vouchers — Mention this to all local media by tonight. Also contact the governor

Contact all people on FEMA vouchers and tell them about resources and keep them updated. Also feed them

Everyone has shelter already, pressure all hotels to pause and keep people housed

Emergency medical services for sick people in hotels on vouchers now”

I’ve been diving into Lenin recently, and after reading just 10 pages, it took me 4 hours and 30 minutes. I found myself compelled to stop and write out a detailed synthesis of my understanding, stopping four times in total. I had to fully connect his ideas about the state, going all the way back to the real start of class systems around 3000 BCE with the rise of early state societies in Mesopotamia, and their transition to feudalism around 500 CE, then through the transition to capitalism after the 1400s, to see what he meant by the state being oppressive. I was initially misguided, thinking that a far-left ideology meant a powerful state regulating capitalism, so I felt the need to map out the entire historical process just to make sure I understood Lenin’s point properly.

This process of deeply engaging with the material, questioning my understanding, and justifying Lenin’s arguments before continuing felt like it was necessary to make sure the material wasn’t just slipping away. I even feared that what I was reading could be useless or irrelevant. The failure of the USSR kept coming to mind, and I had to reconcile that with the notion that Lenin’s work is still valuable, especially in the first 10 pages I’d read, even if the historical application didn’t align perfectly.

This method of pausing, synthesizing, and reflecting seems to be the way my brain works, but it’s also incredibly time-consuming and feels almost compulsive. I can’t move forward without deeply internalizing the material. I know it sounds like a good thing to be able to heavily absorb material, because it should help me read and internalize Marxist theory, but it also is annoying to rely on it to enjoy the reading and it seems to fade away when I move on to a new field of books, such as how I'm currently on Marxism and am losing touch with Plato.

Is this kind of intense analysis common among others studying Marxism? Is it a strength I should embrace, or am I overthinking things and slowing myself down unnecessarily? I’d appreciate any advice on how to strike a balance between deep reflection and making progress.

What good books are there on the Cultural Revolution? I watched 1Dime’s video on it, but I wanted to learn more in depth in whatever ways possible besides one YouTube documentary.

Also anything about the Great Leap Forward would also be appreciated!

Books on the Cultural Revolution?


G’day from so-called australia, comrades. I’m embarking on some long term travels this year and want to read/listen/watch stuff on the places I’ll be visiting. I’ll be moving through South East Asia (most of the time in Thailand and Indonesia), Central Asia, Europe, and the UK and Ireland.

My travel plan is pretty loose - I’m unclear on the countries I’ll be visiting for most of the time so any general recommendations are great. Ideally they’d do deep dives on the impacts of imperialism, neoliberalism, foreign policy and “aid” on places, or deep dives on the history of nations/places through a lens that the good people of this sub would appreciate. Those are the examples of what I’m looking for in a perfect world but they may not exist so I’m happy to take whatever podcast, documentary, book, or blog that you think will be useful/enjoyable.

As a forward thank you, I just listened to Novara Media’s “Downstream: How Corporations Control the Government w/Matt Kennard” and it rules (is super depressing). TLDR horrific examples of corporations wielding power internationally via seemingly innocuous free trade agreements. His book is next on my list. Highly recommend

Recommendations for books/podcasts ahead of travels

This is what solidarity between the left is meant to look like. Not debating theory but supporting one another in the face of unimaginable violence. The people arrested at this demonstration were arrested and charged with domestic terrorism. There was no discussion of domestic terror when a Cops bullet entered their comrades flesh. Viola, the logic of policing.

Someone from anarchist medical collective was killed by police. Response was a joint demonstration by anarchists and members of leftist parties.

Do not get me wrong, I believe in the ideals and promises that a socialist government would theoretically provide. But life in the USA is the way it is for the foreseeable future. We all have to eat, get shelter, work, and somehow retire if we don’t want to work until we die.

We have to play this game that could be so much better if the rules were different. But I do not see the rules changing (ie from capitalism/consumerism to socialism) happening until a majority of people can agree that this system is broken. And with the propaganda from the forces that be regarding the benefits of capitalism, I do not see a general shift happening anytime soon.

So what do you do?
How do you plan to not work forever?
How do you plan to have children and educate them if that is something you want?
How do you plan for a future in this country knowing that your ideals clash with the reality and practicality of where we are now and where we are likely to be in the future?

And yes, I believe change can happen. But will it be in our lifetimes? I don’t want to sound as if I’ve given up on change. It’s more so that we are forced to live in this reality for the time being. Do you play the game out of self-preservation?

Fellow socialists in the USA- how do you cope with the realities of capitalism and consumerism in our country?


Rhode Island’s government has systematically failed to address the state’s homelessness crisis. Our homelessness rate is sixth highest in the country and worsening. The number of calls to the coordinated entry system, which helps people access shelters or other housing, has almost doubled in the last four years.

Responding to a cold snap this week, progressive Providence city counselors and housing activists organized a warming shelter in city hall to keep people from freezing to death on the streets after 54 people living outside died in 2024 alone.

Why is there a homelessness epidemic? In 2020, COVID caused millions of people to lose their jobs all at once, a phenomenon that naturally snowballed into an eviction crisis when people couldn’t pay rent. At the same time, the wealthy began fleeing the big cities, especially New York, and many began buying up homes in Rhode Island. By October of 2020, the price of homes in our state had increased a whopping 15% over the previous year, and those prices continued to skyrocket.

Federal COVID relief funds were allocated to help people pay their rents, but they were failing abysmally to reach those in need. Out of millions of dollars and thousands of applications, only a few hundred thousand dollars in rent relief had been distributed to about 230 households in September 2020.

Meanwhile, landlords seized on the spiking housing market to buy up new homes, raise rents, force poorer tenants out in order to renovate and welcome wealthier ones.

Forcing the ruling class to solve our problems rather than line their pockets requires people power. With a strong movement, we could not only provide guaranteed housing to all, but create a socialist system that would fix prices, raise wages, and organize society for the benefit of working people!

Homelessness is not a sad accident, there are criminals behind it — the capitalist class and their so-called free market. The same forces that drove massive inflation starting with the COVID-19 pandemic are at the roots of today’s housing crisis.

"Can the African Union advance the continent without confronting neocolonialism?" - Nicholas Mwangi on the tensions at the heart of the AU


Hi everybody!

I recently published an article on History and class consciousness that you may be interested in:

[https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/03017605.2024.2416746](https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/03017605.2024.2416746)

This article examines Lukács’s theorisation of the unconscious—not as a libidinal or instinctual force, but as an epistemic and automatising mechanism that influences agents’ actions. The study first addresses the need for Marxism to engage with the concept of the unconscious, drawing parallels with the psychoanalytic tradition. It then considers Lukács’s conception of the historicity of consciousness and the process of reification that creates unconscious epistemic barriers. The paper further explores the potential of the oppressed class to overcome these barriers, and highlights strategies for consciousness-raising and transcending the unconscious in Lukács’s later works. By providing a nuanced analysis of the intersection between Marxism and the unconscious, this article offers new insights into how unconscious processes affect agency and consciousness within a historical and social framework.

18f and I’ve been working for 4 years while in school. Every job is filled with hour cuts, how many customers you can scan per minute or something like that and if you’re below, they’ll get on your ass for it. I have to ask for donations because we have an amount that must be hit, unless you want to get fired, it has to be hit. It’s always around the holidays when we have to ask and I hate asking especially right now when everything is costly and ppl are hardly getting by. It’s so depressing having to deal with the constant moods of your customers & co-workers (like they treat me as a punching bag & then the next day they’re all happy, happy). I understand why they’re all like that though, they’re tired of being worked to the brim, & it’s heart breaking to see and to deal with. It’s heartbreaking to see ppl having to add and take off items & choosing between a small treat or canned food to get through the day. It’s heartbreaking to hear the amount of trauma and issues ppl are dealing with and I am their therapist for those couple of seconds to minute because they don’t have anyone else. I could go ON & ON.

In all, every year you have to hit a certain number of sales, our hrs drop, you deal with unpredictable customers and you’re asked to do sm for so little. I know that’s what to be expected with customer service jobs and I do want to go to university it’s just not something I can even go to right now since it’s just me. I quite literally am only alive because I’m on so many meds because of yrs of childhood ab*se and neglect.

I’ve looked into assisted dying and it’s…interesting that you can be denied. Even with documentations, and the evidence I do have, somehow all the trauma, hospital emergencies, & all types of ab*se isn’t good enough to want to be put to rest. I’m incredibly lucky to have a job because due to certain circumstances I won’t have one after a couple of months and will have to fight tooth and nail to fine another but if not, I may just end it myself. I can’t live in a world where everything is just so individualistic, corporate greed, abusive management, so hard to build community, & just everything is about money.

Also, for those without family or community, how are you making it? I don’t have much time after my day to find community but when I can, it seems to be very surface level and doesn’t go anywhere

Capitalism will be the de*th of me, how are you guys staying afloat?
