Preparing for Revolution:

2026 Marxist Schools

 

The world is on fire. From the trade war to the genocide in Gaza, the war in Ukraine to the crushing global debt, the capitalist system is mired in crisis. These earth-shaking events are impacting the consciousness of millions around the world. By studying Marxism and the history of the class struggle, we gain a clear understanding of the world situation and what will be needed to transform society.

The Revolutionary Communists of America are hosting Marxist Schools in Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York City. These schools of communism will be weekend-long educational deep-dives, bringing revolutionaries together in the country’s three biggest cities to discuss the fundamentals of Marxist philosophy, revolutionary history, and strategy. They will be a training ground for Bolsheviks studying the Marxist method and organizing to end the capitalist system.
