[Video] The Revolutionary Philosophy of Marxism: Book Launch with Alan Woods

Alan Woods, editor of In Defense of Marxism, launches our new book The Revolutionary Philosophy of Marxism at the 2018 Northeast Regional Marxist School in New York City.

This selection of writings on dialectical materialism, with an introduction by Alan, is available on MarxistBooks.com at a special launch price.

In his talk, Alan outlines the development of Marxist theory, which unifies two great schools of philosophical thought: materialism, and dialectics. He also stresses the importance of Marxist philosophy and that theory is key to building the subjective factor in order to lead the working class to victory.

One of the main reasons for the historical weakness of the American Left is precisely its aversion to Marxist theory and its acceptance of the empiricism and pragmatism of the ruling class. Training a new generation of revolutionaries is why we produced this book.
