Catch up: the World School of Communism - now available as podcasts!

In June, hundreds of revolutionaries from all over the world gathered in Italy for the founding conference of the Revolutionary Communist International and the World School of Communism, with thousands more participating online. All 20 talks from the World School of Communism are now available as podcasts. They are a highly valuable resource, full of valuable lessons, which we urge all communists to make use of.

You’ll find episodes about our philosophy, our perspective on the most pressing issues facing workers and youth today, and answers to common slanders about what communists stand for. During the live presentation of these talks, pauses were necessary for translation, but these have now been removed for a better listening experience.

Together, these talks bring together some of the most fundamental ideas on which our International is based. If you’re inspired by what you hear, and agree with our point of view: join us at marxist.com/join-us.htm

Links and information about getting involved are included in all the episode descriptions, and you can learn more about the RCI on our main website: marxist.com. You can also listen to our main weekly podcast series, the Spectre of Communism.
