The Socialist Education Project
Socialist education is important for both strengthening the movement and building greater connection and cooperation, and informing effective action.
The Socialist Education Project of the Committees of Correspondence for Democracy and Socialism will sponsor online discussion and resources and in-person programs. It will produce literature, visual aids and cultural products of value to help create a socialism that both draws upon its history and is relevant to building a twenty-first century socialism.
Everyone is invited to participate!

Why a Marxist School?
Karl Marx’s ideas are a common touchstone for many people working for change. His historical materialism, his many contributions to political economy and class analysis, all continue to serve his core values–the self-emancipation of the working class and a vision of a classless society. There are naturally many trends in Marxism that have developed over the years, and new ones are on the rise today. All of them and others who want to see this project succeed are welcome here.

Communist Manifesto after 170 years: in the era of globalization, more relevant than ever
Monday, April 23, 2018 9:00 PM Eastern Time
The Communist Manifesto, published in 1848 at the prelude of the European revolutions, remains one of the world’s most read and influential documents. The Manifesto was first to describe the materialist conception of history, that the economic mode of production and exchange is the basis of politics and culture, and that the resulting class struggle is the key to understanding history. The working class plays the critical historic role in leading the struggle against capitalism and creating the future socialist society.
The Manifesto describes capitalism’s incessant expansion and worldwide drive for markets and profits. Today US capitalism-imperialism seeks global hegemony in the context of the rising dangers of war and global warming, and increasing resistance.
Zach Robinson, member of the CCDS national coordinating committee, will present on the Communist Manifesto and globalization today, followed by discussion. Zach is a math professor at East Carolina University in Greenville NC; he created an online video guide for the Manifesto:
