Comrades,

I'm fairly new to this socialist thing. I've read some of the basics and checked out lectures from people like Parenti.

Who are some "major" modern socialists? I'm only aware of Richard Wolf.

Thanks,

    I'll +1 Yanis Varoufakis.

    Really though -- Anything written by the vanguard parties worth following. Red Fightback in particular as they're writing fantastic theory following in the steps of the old movements right now, but PSL are worth it too.

      What we stand for:

      As part of this struggle we are dedicated to fighting against:

      • Imperialism
      • Opportunism
      • Oppressive structures that emerge from class and sustain class society, such as race and gender
      • The environmental crisis.

      The phrasing in one of these bullet points is the result of months of intense struggle sessions. Can you guess which one?

      (I'm not trying to start shit, I don't know anything about the org, I just think this is funny.)

        Rofl. Yeah the language is very carefully chosen. Good org btw, the only org in the UK worth paying any attention to. They're growing fast and they really fucking deserve it. Not a member, will be when I've done what I want to do in NIP though.
