How Marxists are Formed
05/31/24 • 63 min
The starting point for all of our activities is political clarity. Only by building in quality will we succeed in building in quantity. But have we fully grasped all that this entails? Antonio Balmer leads off a discussion to shed fresh light on a familiar task we are all engaged in—the task of becoming Marxists.
This leadoff was recorded at the 2023 National Congress of what was formerly Socialist Revolution. In July 2024, we will found the Revolutionary Communists of America. If you are a genuine communist and want to take part in this historic event, join the party: https://communistusa.org/join.
