  • 13: How the Bolsheviks Defended the Russian Revolution
    As Marxists, we follow the example set by the Russian Revolution of 1917, as the greatest event in human history - a milestone in the fight for a world liberated from oppression, exploitation and war.
    But we are also often told lies about what the revolution was and what it represented. In this episode of Revolutionary Ideas, we will be interviewing Rob and Lilly from Sotsialisticheskaya Alternative (ISA in Russia).

  • 10: How to Read 'The Communist Manifesto'
    'The Communist Manifesto', written in the 19th century, remains widely read, but not always understood. Often misrepresented and distorted by the capitalist class and Stalinism alike, it is more important than ever that we ask, “what did Marx and Engels really stand for?”. As we enter the stormy decade of the 2020s, with mass struggles on the horizon, rediscovering the real ideas of Marxism is needed to prepare us for events to come.
