Bolshevism is the model of democracy and unity that won the world's first socialist revolution

Capital, invested in human labour power and machinery, proved to be the most effective means yet for one class to exploit another.

Marxists make a distinction between forms of government and the class nature of the state. We always ask, “which class interests are served by the state?”

Marx proved that exploitation is caused not just by the sharp practices of some bad capitalists, but is part and parcel of the profit system itself.

In all its forms there is only one answer to fascism. Mass working class action, at the earliest opportunity, to physically and morally smash the fascist organisations.

Only the overthrow of the profit system can create the conditions for the withering away of humanity’s psychological need for religious belief

"All history is the history of class struggle."

Imperialism poses the question: socialism or barbarism?

“When right meets right, might decides.”

Alexandra Kollontai made three decisive contributions to revolutionary socialism.

Philosophical materialism demonstrates why socialism is the necessary outcome of the capitalist crisis.

"Nationalisation, without compensation and under workers’ control."

Oppression is a fundamental, necessary part of capitalism, and can only be destroyed along with it.

Why don't we just say "workers"?

Reformism begins by redefining the socialist goal - and ends by rejecting it altogether

Unlike pacifists – who reject all wars – socialists oppose some wars, support others and will be prepared to wage war against the capitalist enemy.

Malcolm X was a heroic fighter for black liberation who had started his evolution from nationalism and separatism to socialism but was brutally murdered before its completion.

The task of revolutionaries today is to reach out to the new generation in whose hands the future of the planet lies

Clara Zetkin led the struggle for a socialist-led, working class based women’s organisation in Germany in the 1880s-1890s
