INTRODUCTION TO MARXISM (http://school.rebelyouth.ca/intro21a.html)
What is communism? Is socialism about dictatorship, or freedom? Why are Western countries so rich, while most people in the world are poor and starving? Why is the US at a constant state of war with poor countries? What is revolution? Isn't it violent? Why is racism and sexism so prevalent? Is Canada a class society? Aren't we all middle class? Is Canada really democratic?
If you struggle with any of theses questions, then you are going to want to participate in this course!
To start the new year, Young Left is beginning a 11 week course on Introduction to Marxist Theory. The course is aimed at both those new to Leftist politics, and those who are more experienced.
