The aim of this web site is to defend the validity of the ideas of
Marxism, but not
merely as an academic exercise. We think Marxism is the best guide for
today’s labour
movement. If you agree with the ideas in this web site you should join us in
the struggle for socialism.
If you want to join us or want to know
more about how to do it, please fill in the form below or have a look at the
Contact Us section for details of how to join the struggle for socialism in your country.
Thank you!
Here are some more ideas which you could do:
- Tell your friends and/or comrades about the “In
Defence of
Marxism” web site (our URL is very easy to remember: http://www.marxist.com)
- Print out our material and give it out to friends,
comrades, workmates,
schoolmates, etc you think might be interested in these ideas.
- Distribute and discuss our articles and documents
in your organisation,
trade union branch, political party, youth club, university society,
etc.
- Republish our material in discussion groups,
newsgroups, bulletin
boards, local newsletters, left wing magazines, etc. We are happy to
allow anyone to use
our articles and documents as long as the source is properly credited.
- Join a Marxist discussion group. There are hundreds
of them all over
the world. Their aim is to discuss Marxist ideas and intervene in the
local labour and
youth movement.
 Tell us where you are based and we will put you in
touch with the nearest
one. If there is not a group near where you live, why don’t you set up
one yourself? Get a
few interested friends together and start by discussing the basic
ideas of Marxism (contact us for advice on how to do it, where to start, etc). Also have a look at the YFIS discussion forum where you can discuss Marxist ideas with people from around the world.
- Get a subscription to Socialist Appeal, the Marxist
voice of the labour
movement which publishes every month most of the articles of “In
Defence of
Marxism” plus a detailed analysis of the current events in the
British labour and
trade union movement. Click here to subscribe.
- Get a paper copy of our books. We have provided the
full text of a
number of books on-line because we think it is important to make our
analysis available to
the widest audience possible – but not everyone has access to the
internet. By buying a
copy of our books you will have these ideas handy at all times and
will help us generate
the necessary ressources to publish more books. Please visit out Wellred
books section!
- Help us spread our ideas. There are many areas of
the world where
internet usage is very low because phone lines and service providers
are not widely
available or are very expensive. Sending books and pamphlets to these
countries can be
expensive. You have the advantange of having access to our web site
and being able to read
our analysis on-line. You could help them access this material by
paying for a year’s
subscription to Socialist Appeal for someone who
cannot afford it, or
paying for the cost of posting one of our books to a Third World
country.
- Help us translate our material. Many of our
articles and documents are
available in a number of languages (Spanish, French, German, Swedish,
Danish, Urdu, Greek,
Italian, Dutch, Arabic, Russian, Indonesian, etc) but there is still
a lot of work to do
in this field. If you are able to do translations for us, please let
us know.
- Make a donation. We stand for the overthrow of
capitalism and its
replacement by a democratic and rational system of plenty for all:
socialism. As you can
imagine we do not have rich backers to help us in this task! We need
any amount of money
you can donate to be able to keep publishing our material, maintaining
this web site and
fighting for socialism. Click
