Education Hub

Lenin once wrote that “without revolutionary theory there can be no revolutionary movement.” Put another way, the first step to changing the world is understanding it. Here, the rich library of Marxist literature is a most invaluable tool. 

The marxist.ca Education Hub is designed to help you navigate the immense collection of Marxist classics, as well as essential modern writings produced by the Revolutionary Communist International (RCI). 

The Beginner’s reading list provides you with essential readings for those in the early stages of their Marxist education. The “Major workscategory provides you with a complete list of major books and booklets written by the giants of Marxism, as well as explanatory materials produced by members of the RCI. For those interested in investigating certain topics, the various “By topicsections will provide you with ample materials, both classic and modern.
