Socialism For All / S4A ☭ Intensify Class Struggle
Socialism For All
I’m a US American studying Marxism (anti-revisionist Marxism-Leninism).
I often post human-read audiobooks of socialist texts, & I organize them into playlists. I sometimes add comments to the text while reading, similar to making notes in a book, & I sometimes make efforts to explain difficult concepts in the texts, partly for myself & partly for newer listeners.
I also stream on Twitch (https://twitch.tv/socialisms4a) most Thursdays @ 1 PM Pacific/4 PM Eastern/7 PM UTC, & I later post the streams to YouTube. Stream dates & times are announced on the Community tab on YouTube & also on Bluesky, Mastodon, Tumblr, & Patreon.
After you've engaged with these online agitation and educational materials, I encourage you to get involved in your local left to network & become familiar with the existing parties, unions, & other groups engaging in class struggle in your area (not including Democrats, who are owned by the 1% & not a suitable forum for ideological struggle).
