Introducing Marxism is published by Socialist Alternative to explain the fundamentals of Marxism for anyone who wants to fight for a better world.Written from an unashamedly partisan perspective, this book offers a starting point for challenging capitalism and overturning oppression.Using modern examples from Australia and the world, it aims to show that Marxism can make sense of this unjust and destructive world while also pointing to the solution: a workers' revolution that smashes the capitalist state and prepares the way for a society in which things are run for the needs of the many, not the profits of the few.This second edition has been fully updated to account for political developments since the book was first published.This book is meant to be read as part of the introductory discussion groups run regularly by Socialist Alternative, Australia's biggest revolutionary socialist organisation. We have branches in most major cities and student clubs on university campuses across the country.Sign up to discuss the book with us and get involved - a member of SA from your area will get in touch.

Australia is a profoundly racist society: the cops continue to murder Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, land rights are trod on to dig up fossil fuels, far-right vigilantes whip up attacks on Indigenous youth, and the gaps between Indigenous and non-indigenous people endure in income, health, education and housing.As the Liberal Party runs vile, racist campaigns against Indigenous rights, all the Labor Party offers is symbolic recognition without substantial change. For anyone seeking a radical alternative, this book is essential.Indigenous Liberation & Socialism delves into the history and politics of Indigenous struggle, exploring the forgotten legacy of the workers' movement and the socialist left in the fight for justice against Indigenous oppression. It presents a compelling argument that the liberation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples will only be won if we build a multi-racial anti-capitalist movement which can smash all systems of oppression.Jordan Humphreys is a socialist activist in Sydney and a member of the Marxist Left Review editorial committee. He has been researching and writing about Indigenous struggles in Australia since 2019.Discover more from Red Flag Books at shop.redflag.org.au
