Many people have a dismissive attitude towards philosophy: no doubt informed by the pretentious rubbish taught in university classrooms. But the fact is those without a worked-out way of viewing the world will unthinkingly regurgitate the ideas of the ruling elite. 

As Hamid Alizadeh, a leading member of the RCI, explains in this talk: communists seek to change the world. 

For that, we need a revolutionary philosophy, to identify the reasons for the rotten state of society, combat reactionary ideas that seek to drag humanity backwards, and envision how the world might be rebuilt anew.
