"Without revolutionary theory, there can be no revolutionary movement."

— Lenin

We are at a turning point in history. The crisis of capitalism has plunged the world into chaos. Inequality has reached staggering levels. New fault lines are being drawn between imperialist powers, who are drowning whole regions in blood in search of markets and profit. Meanwhile, capitalism is destroying the planet, creating an existential threat to humanity itself.

Millions are beginning to question the system and search for a way out. New left-wing figures promise bold reforms—but history shows that capitalism in crisis cannot tolerate even the smallest concessions.

At the same time, a new generation of revolutionary youth is rising. From Indonesia to Madagascar to Italy, mass movements are erupting across the globe. Our epoch is one of revolutions—and revolution will come even to Canada.

In this context, “Reform or Revolution?” is a burning question. That’s why it’s the theme of the 16th Annual Montreal Marxist Winter School—the largest communist gathering in Canada. Over one weekend, we’ll examine key topics for revolutionaries: revolutionary history, past reformist experiments, and Marxist philosophy.

No revolutionary movement can succeed without a firm grounding in theory. So the Montreal Marxist Winter School exists to train a new generation with the ideas needed to win the struggles ahead.

With over 600 participants from across the country last year, this is the event for anyone serious about changing society. This year’s School will mark an important step in training the future leaders of the incoming revolution.

If you want to end capitalism—you must be there!
