Is it really necessary for us to bother with philosophical questions? How is Philosophy relevant to the working class? While many people may not be convinced of the need for a revolutionary philosophy, the capitalist class has been fighting an ideological battle for hundreds of years. Every year, thousands of pages are written in an effort to discredit Marxist philosophy, from every angle imaginable. Marxism is alleged to be dead, dogmatic, discredited. Marxism is even attacked for its belief in progress, as postmodernism and pessimism have come to dominate academia. In this Ideological battle, the ruling class tries to undermine the working class' confidence in their own ability to fight for socialism.

Despite that, we live in an age of revolution! Every year, mass movements filled with burning anger take place all around the world at an increasing frequency. What this anger needs is clear ideas with which to change the world. What it needs is a philosophy of revolution, Marxism

Join us July 1st-2nd for the 2023 Western Canada Summer School in Edmonton, Alberta for the biggest Marxist event in Western Canada, to discuss what ideas are needed to create a better world. As Lenin said: “Without revolutionary theory there can be no revolutionary movement.”
