During our work among people in our communities, activists with Socialist Organizer frequently get questions about capitalism, socialism, Marx and how to change the world amid globalization and economic collapse.
What challenges do revolutionaries face today? How do we answer the key questions of our time about class, race, gender and oppression?

I 100% support direct action measures such as giving out food, organising childcare centres/schools, giving help to the disabled, and so on. But this is different to parliamentary reformism and it must be done with ideology at the forefront of our minds.

I’m curious. Is it racist or misogynyst, as a white individual, to prefer dating non-white individuals, not out of some weird, demeaning exoticism or pre-conceived delusions about how other races “are supposed to act,” but instead because that person finds them more physically…

I’m curious. Is it racist or misogynyst, as a white individual, to prefer dating non-white individuals, not out of some weird, demeaning exoticism or pre-conceived delusions about how other races “are supposed to act,” but instead because that person finds them more physically attractive than other white individuals?
It is probably not racist, but definitely has something to do...

First it was war criminal Obama that received the Nobel Peace Prize, and if that wasn’t sick enough, the European Union, which is forcing crushing levels of austerity on workers throughout the continent, was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

If you’re a gay asexual you are “queer” because you are gay.
If you’re a biromantic asexual you are “queer” because you are bi.
If you’re a nonbinary asexual you are “queer” because you are nonbinary.
If you’re a cis heteromantic asexual, you are not…
I have to disagree. Asexual is not sexual orientation. It is also not a gender nor sex. It is just a...

amodernmanifesto:
Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels wrote a great deal, on a wide variety of subjects and over a long period of time. Some of their writing was in response to political issues of the day which are long forgotten, some was concerned to criticise opponents who held views now rarely encountered, while some was of a very abstract and philosophical nature.
