September/October Featured Selection from “The Revolutionary Philosophy of Marxism”

After exploring some of the early philosophical writings by Marx and Engels in our July/August IMT organization-wide readings, we will now delve into excerpts from Leon Trotsky’s In Defence of Marxism, as featured in The Revolutionary Philosophy of Marxism. This collection of articles and letters written by Trotsky during a bitter factional struggle in the US Socialist Workers Party is a true treasure for revolutionary socialists. Covering a wide range of topics—from the class nature of the USSR to the healthy functioning of internal party democracy—it is an object lesson in the application of the Marxist method to the problems of building a revolutionary leadership.
