    Communism and Art in the Soviet Union - PSMLS Class

    Communists have long understood that art is an expression of the mode of production of a society. As such, art in the Soviet Union represented its socialist mode of production. Rather than looking from the lens of the individual, Soviet art represented the perspective of the collective. Soviet art presents itself as society with the proletariat and farmers that built it. The art generally presents itself as positive and realistic to show that we do not need fantasy to bring about a progressive society.

    Social Movements in India - PSMLS Class

    In the middle of the 18th Century, the British Empire colonized the land that contains India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. Towards the late 19th Century and early 20th Century, independence movements sprang up. The British, savvy as they were in dividing and pitting the subject populations against one another had in its arsenal various ethnicities, languages, and religions to create infighting. These conflicts shaped and continue to shape how these Indian movements developed. Today, the Hindutva Nationalist movement threatens the democratic-loving Indian people. In tonight’s class, we will analyze how the social movements in India developed. We will be reading from Rajani Palme Dutt’s “India Today”. We will also attempt to use this analysis to look at Indian social movements in the 21st Century.

    Film in the Battle of Ideas - PSMLS Class

    Films and other media may appear to some simply as forms of entertainment. The reality is, however, that film can shape how the public thinks. Films can be used to advance society by pushing pro-peace ideals or it can galvanize the public for the next imperialist war. For this reason, the film industry serves as an important battleground for Socialists. Join us as we dive into the role of films in shaping public perception.

    The October Revolution - PSMLS Class

    Join the People’s School for Marxist-Leninist Studies for a reading and examination of The October Revolution by Joseph Stalin. "The October Revolution" is a collection of articles and speeches by General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, JV Stalin. We have republished this work due to the distorted view in the United States of the Great October Socialist Revolution thanks to an overemphasis of the writings of Socialism’s biggest traitor, Leon Trotsky. This book contains a brilliant take down of the theory of “Permanent Revolution” aimed at weakening the world’s first Socialist Republic.
