 Hello comrades and welcome back to Marxist Voice, the podcast of The Communist, and welcome back to another episode of our series Towards the Revolutionary Communist Party, where we will go over different aspects of building the party in the run-up to the founding congress of the RCP in the May of this year. As always I'm your host, Jack Tye Wilson, and today I'm joined by Fiona Lali, who is a member of the Executive Committee of the soon-to-be Revolutionary Communist Party, as well as a member of the Political Education Committee as well. Hi Fiona, how's it going? Hi Jack, not bad, thanks. How's your week been so far? I know it's only Wednesday, but yeah, had a good Easter weekend. Yeah, pretty good, only day two, so just good. Have you got up too much over the weekend, anything political? Well I actually went to Hans Holbein's exhibition. Holbein was a painter who, he painted the most famous depiction of Henry VIII standing there kind of proudly, as well as, you know, different figures from that period and the monarchy at that time. And it's an interesting exhibition because actually the development of his art and the focus on faces and individuals as a kind of life-like image also reflects part of the changes taking place in Britain at that time and the development of capitalism and the rise of the individual and individualism, which is part of the ideology and was part of the ideology of the rising bourgeois class, the merchants that were starting to step forward at that time. And he was a bit of a special kind of, it was a very new thing basically, the art that he was able to produce. That's incredibly interesting, that sounds like a very cultural weekend. My writer letter for the favour in there. Yeah, you should definitely write something for the culture pages of the Communists that would be excellent. I've actually been very impressed recently with the range of different cultural things that our comrades have been reviewing on those pages. We've had music reviews, theatre reviews, even a ballet review actually as well. So yeah, we're a cultured bunch here at the International Martyrs' Tendency. What can you say? There you go. I also had a bit of a cultural weekend as well. I went to the William Morris Gallery in Walthamstow in London, which I thought was fantastic. It has obviously a lot of his work, design work, the stained glass, the tiles, the tapestries and so on. But I'm sure many comrades might know this, maybe some of them won't know this, but William Morris actually, after spending almost his entire life trying to bring art and beauty into the everyday lives of often middle-class people, I'm sure he would have loved to have stretched that further into the lives of working-class people as well. But actually in his 40s, he turned towards the class struggle. He joined the Marxist organization at the time, the Social Democratic Federation in the 1870s I think, and he broke from his class background and he threw himself into Marxist organizing into revolutionary politics. Yeah, he became a leading member of the SDF and eventually formed a group called the Socialist League with people like Eleanor Marx. And Edward Evelling as well. So yeah, incredibly interesting guy. Do they say that at the exhibition? Yeah, they say all of this at the exhibition actually, but I also bought a volume of his political works as well. So yeah, maybe I'll write a review or something like that in the paper as well because he's a very interesting guy in it. But anyway, let's move on then to something more relevant to the topic of this podcast, although it is nice to get started with a bit of informal chat. So actually yet to start, we heard the following voice message from a guy called Luke who asked a question from the previous episode on finance. He asked the question about membership fees and why we charge so much in terms of membership fees. So yeah, we'll just listen to that now and yeah. Hey, what do you have to say? It's Luke again. I've not gotten to the question. I just wanted to say thanks to Joe and Jack last week for answering my question about finances. And I think I was just thinking about it in the wrong way and you're not trying to mass appeal right now and get the majority of the general public looking for the more serious and disciplined, I suppose determined people that want to do the dirty work or the hard work, I should say, and start a building and growing party. I'm actually going to go to my local Nottingham meeting this weekend, I think. So it'd be good to learn a bit more and maybe join to help out going forward. Cheers. So yeah, that's incredible. Luke, thanks for sending us your feedback and hopefully you enjoy the Nottingham branch and hopefully you join us and join the struggle to build the Revolutionary Communist Party. But yeah, just on that topic, if anyone wants to send in their thoughts on this podcast series, any feedback and especially any questions as well that you'd like us to respond to on this podcast, then please do send them in at communist.red forward slash right and select the category for podcasts. So yeah, Fiona, we're launching the RCP and I think it's a month now, right? It's less than five weeks now. And in this podcast series, we've covered various questions like recruitment, finance, the paper and so on. But today we're going to talk about education. We're going to look at ourselves as communists, as revolutionaries. So yeah, how does education fit into all of this, would you say? Yeah, well, I hope in the other podcast that you've done on this, the comrades haven't said that these aspects of the work, finance, recruitment, paper, the foundation of what they do because of what we do. Because I'm going to say the exact same thing, which is that education is the foundation of what we do. And the reason I say that is because if you think about recruiting, donating monthly subs, donating to the fighting fund, selling the paper, going out, doing all of this activity, what gives us the conviction to do all of that? To donate, to stand on the streets and sell the paper and so on. What gives us the conviction to do those things is the understanding of the relationship between that activity and the actual ideas that we are fighting for. It isn't just a desire to go out there and just talk to random people that makes us sell the paper. It is because we believe and we know that the ideas that we're representing and that we're fighting for are correct and we have to explain them to other people if we want to build the party. We are striving to build a Cader party. And what do I mean by that? What is our emphasis on Cader? So Cader is someone who can go to a different town, go to a workplace, go somewhere else and build a branch of Communists. It's someone who can go out there and recruit and train up. We're not interested in a party of people who just sit around and wait for orders, who just sit around as kind of foot soldiers waiting to be told where to go as the movement develops. We're trying to build people up, build Caders who can think for themselves. And the only way to do that is if you really begin to conquer the ideas of Marxism. So actually for us, education is, it's a condition of membership. If you want to join the RCP, you've got to commit yourself to studying, to self-study. And we produce a lot of material in order to equip all of our members and all of our comrades with what they need in order to do that. This year is obviously the Lenin year where we're celebrating, but also looking at and studying very closely the ideas of Lenin, his writings. We've produced the book obviously in defensive Lenin. And this Lenin book is really a bit of a Bible for us this year. This year obviously represents 100 years since his death. There's a whole barrage of propaganda against Lenin and the ideas of communism as a result. And so we're arming our comrades with what they need in order to fight off those attacks. Not just in a defensive manner, we're not just defending Marxism, but we also want to go on the offensive and explain why Marxism ultimately is a superior philosophy, a superior way of understanding and explaining the world. Yeah, I've just finished volume one of the Lenin book myself, actually, about to move on to volume two. And I think it's a real master class, really, in how Lenin conceived of his role in the class struggle, basically. He didn't ever attempt to dilute the program of Marxism or just sort of brush any problems under the carpet. He came across a problem. He came across a tendency within the workers movement, which he saw as being one that would hold the struggle back. He was very conscientious. He studied philosophy, studied economics, and to really clarify what is a scientific program. And he built a party around those ideas. And yeah, I've heard a number of reports, actually, from the branches about how the Lenin book is really inspiring them to go out and get building the RCP. I read a report from Preston. A burgeoning cell in Preston. Yeah, where the communists grew quite a lot in the latter half of last year. But then things kind of maybe stagnated a bit. They lost a few members. But yeah, this year they turned a new page, so to speak, and they really got stuck into the Lenin book every week. They were discussing it, discussing all of the lessons around Lenin's struggle against the economists in Russia, this kind of opportunist tendency within the workers movement, and all these different things. How Lenin built the party, his focus on revolutionary theory. And through that, it's really inspired them to have consistent activity, go out selling the paper, discussing the paper, posturing, recruiting people, and so on. So you can see right there, and encapsulate, I think, what revolutionary theory can do. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, what makes Lenin a particularly outstanding figure was, one, his grasp of Marxist theory, but then his ability to translate that into what are the needs of the working class in Russia at this time, and how do I read the mood of the working class and be able to put forward a program that answers all of those problems. In a recent issue of the In Defense of Marxism magazine, which is our theoretical magazine, there's an article dedicated to how Lenin studied Hegel, and the meticulous notes that he used to make and the way he used to try and decipher Hegel's writings, which can be difficult. And it was that really focused dedication to theory, but then being able to apply that to the movement that made Lenin and ultimately the Bolshevik successful. And that's why we model ourselves off of the Bolsheviks and off of Lenin himself. We need to be able to use the method of Marxism to explain the world around us at our upcoming Congress, the founding Congress of the RCP. We will be discussing and debating on important documents that have been produced. One of the main documents is a theses on Britain, which is which is available online. You can have a look at the communist.red website. Yeah, the draft version of that, which lays out, you know, our analysis of the conditions in Britain at this time and how that relates to the perspectives for revolution in Britain and explains the processes that are taking place and how we as communists, therefore, should try and orientate towards us. That is the real test of how deeply do you understand Marxism and how do you understand Marxist theories? Can you use it today to explain the world around us? Yeah, now definitely recommend all of our listeners to go and read that document. It's actually incredibly short, I would say. It's only about 3,000 words. And it covers so much. It goes across the world situation. It looks at the events in the United States, for example, kind of laying, you know, because obviously British capitalism is ultimately like intimately linked to world capitalism as well. So it goes over all of that. British capitalism, the chronic lack of investment in the economy, the financialization, all of these different things, which lead to ultimately a very stagnant, sick and senile capitalism. And yeah, it goes through the consciousness, the shifting consciousness and so on, the crisis on the political front, the Tories being driven with splits and divides, the bankruptcy of the Labour leaders and so on. So yeah, for a very short document, it really hammers home, you know, all of the key essential points. We have to think about how we can change our thinking, and you know, with the support of the US government. So I think, yeah, I think that is a housing that's very important for us, so I'm actually very interested in thinking about that as well as working class movements. And in the other part of the conversation, we've talked about the engaging together and the things that we do, the people that work in Congress our international, just launched a manifesto, the manifesto of the soon to become revolutionary communist international. And so the Congress will open with a discussion on that manifesto itself. Yeah, and that's also available online as well, isn't it? Yeah, on marxist.com. All of the links to those will be in the show notes of this podcast. So yeah, some might object to all of this talk about theory and say, you know, what's the point in just endlessly discussing these minute details, all of this hair splitting and so on. Because ultimately, does history and philosophy really matter that much when really we should just be out there fighting for the working class, fighting for wage increases, fighting for concrete practical things that will improve people's lives. Maybe collecting for a food bank or something like doing some sort of mutual aid or something like that. Basically isn't theory a waste of time. That is quite a common idea I would say on the left. How would you respond to that? Do you think? Yeah, I think this is a common question that comes up a lot and it can come from a very honest perspective. Sometimes people not immediately understanding or what is the relevance to this? And I'd say first and foremost, if you look at the history of the communist movement or even just the history of the class struggle itself, there've been many different parties and many different organizations that have formed. But the party that stands out above all of them is the Bolsheviks because they were able to take power and part of the reason that the Bolsheviks sustained themselves as an organization because Russia from the period of 1901 all the way up to 917 went through very tumultuous very tumultuous time. There's a revolution in 1905 that ends in defeat, a period of exile and repression I should say. Some of the leading Bolsheviks had to go into exile in that time, including Lenin and so on. But the point is, in tumultuous periods, it's very hard to sustain yourself as an organization. The reason the Bolsheviks were able to do so and claw themselves back is because they had ideological clarity or Lenin in particular tried to insist upon a clear ideological basis to the party and what it represented because look, as communists, we don't exist in a vacuum. Actually, we live in and around, or we live in capitalism, right? So the pressures of bourgeois society and bourgeois ideas and bourgeois philosophy are constantly on us and constantly trying to penetrate the organization. So we have to build, first of all, a sharp wall to clearly demarcate what is Marxist philosophy and what is bourgeois philosophy, the philosophy of post-modernism, the philosophy of individualism and identity politics, which are very, very present and also present on the left in a conscious and a slightly unconscious way. And so we think the way to one, build an organization, but then also to sustain it is to have a clear ideological approach. It's like when you're rowing in a boat and someone's moving the all one way and I don't know if it's an all and someone's moving the all the other way, you're not gonna go forward, you're gonna spin around in circles. And that's what happens to organizations who kind of fetishize eclecticism as though this mishmash of different ideas is somehow going to produce something greater than itself. Of course, discussion, debate, clarification, polemics are absolutely necessary and there's a long history of that in the Bolsheviks, but there's a limit to how that takes place and you need a foundation. And our foundation is very simple. We base ourselves first and foremost on the ideas of Marx, Engels, Lenin and Trotsky, the key theoreticians of the communist movement. And we really encourage our own comrades to read those authors and those communists themselves. We use this phrase sometimes, don't read about Marx, read Marx. Don't read what the universities have to say about him or any of these figures. Just go to the source itself and then use what you study to try and understand the world around you. But some might object and many do object. Hasn't society changed quite a lot since the days of Marx or even Trotsky. Trotsky died in 1940 and there's been eight decades that have elapsed since that time. So shouldn't we see someone more modern? Maybe Slavoj Zizek or something like that. Read Aaron Vestani or something for the ultimate luxury communism. What would you say about that? Do we need modern ideas to make sense of a modern world? I think in response to that, I would say that what we need above all is the right ideas rather than endlessly searching for new ideas. This is actually a real feature, I would say, of the worst aspects of academia is the search to be new, to reinvent things, to reinvent the wheel. I'm gonna echo how Alan Woods tends to answer this question, which is that the wheel is a very old idea, very old invention, but it works rather well and we continue to use it. Look, what we have to ask ourselves is are the ideas of Marxism relevant to the world around us? Is what Marx wrote about in the Communist Manifesto 170 years ago, something like that. How does that explain the world around us in terms of the division of society into two great classes, the ruling class and the working class, the concentration of capital to an extreme end and wealth on one pole and complete degradation and misery on the other end. All of the contradictions that Marx explained 170 years ago were relevant then and are even more relevant now. This is something that the manifesto of the RCI explains extremely well. And so that is the most important question. There are very few books or texts from 170 years ago that can explain the world around us today and Marxism. The other point about Marxism is it's not a dogma, right? When we talk about studying these texts or studying these theoreticians, we aren't interested in just narrow interest or academic study, right? And we're not hero worshipers. We study as revolutionaries who actually have work to do. We know that we need to overthrow the capitalist system and we are striving to build socialism. Marxist texts are our theoretical guide to this practical activity. Of course, then as I said earlier, it has to be translated into what is happening today. AI, for example. How do we understand the role of AI and I think there's probably been a podcast. Oh, there is actually, there's just been a podcast on that, on the specter of communism podcast. Our compattoit. I was going to say our sister. Our sister podcast. Yeah, obviously we've got to use the ideas of Marxism to explain the world around us. But a lot of what these modern philosophers, modern academics, modern whatever you want to call them, people do is not actually apply Marxism but try and reinvent a new theory which often ends up a mishmash of bourgeois philosophy and bourgeois ideas to try and satisfy an appetite of just kind of narrow academic, I don't know what you wanna call. There's a phrase that there's nothing new under the sun. And I think that is definitely true with all of these people who try and reinvent the wheel. In fact, I'm reading a text by Len at the moment called Materialism and Imperial Criticism where he's responding to some figures within the Bolshevik party actually who were trying to invent a new philosophy. They were trying to revise Marxism, revise dialectical materialism essentially, putting forward this idea that there's nothing that exists apart from sensation and experience. And we can't really truly know the world, basically. There's no objective reality, very similar to the post-modernists of today. And Lenin spends basically the first chapter of that just saying you think that you're inventing something new but you're actually just resorting to the ideas of people who lived hundreds of years ago, people like Bishop Barkley, a Catholic bishop who wanted to try and disprove materialism from a reactionary point of view. So yeah, I think that's definitely true. You know, everyone who raves and rants about new ideas, they're not really putting forward anything new most of the time and if they are putting forward something new, then it's not very useful. Yes, we can say this debate has been had for a hundred years in the communist movement and every single time the people insisting on new ideas have ended up as revisionist and ended up as people who have abandoned Marxism actually and fallen into some kind of reformism because they end up just, when they say we need to update Marxism, they essentially find themselves in the situation where they're just justifying the existing capitalist system in some way and trying to adapt it in order to not really get to the root of the problem. And so yeah, often wary of people who talk about newness. Yeah, yeah, precisely. Actually, this brings to mind the question that we've received from a listener to the podcast called Louie. Because yeah, obviously, we stand for a set of ideas, Marxist ideas and we're very serious about studying and upholding these ideas. But of course, we aren't the only group on the left. I'm sure there are many other groups that call themselves socialist and communist that also claim to stand for a Marxist program and so on. So I wanna ask you, I wanna hear your thoughts on this. Yeah, Louie asks, what makes us different from these other parties and groups? Can we talk about why the RCP is different and why people should join us instead of these other groups that claim to be Marxist? Look, we are deadly serious about what it is that we're trying to do. We intend to change this world. Lenin famously said of me, and we've used this a lot in the past, but it's worth repeating that without revolutionary theory, there can be no revolutionary movement. And that is precisely what our organization offers in comparison to all of the other groups or whatever on the left. An absolute insistence on ideological clarity, on dialectical materialism as a way to understand the world around us, the philosophy of Marxism and trying to imbue all of that in every single person who joins our organization. I don't believe there's anyone else who can provide that. We come from a long line of important real class fighters and Marxists and communists. I mean, we can trace our organization all the way through to the fourth international. And that's because we've had this serious approach and the serious approach to building an organization and wanting to overthrow capitalism can only come from an absolute conviction in the idea that it is possible and the ideas that we need to do so. And I would say that is the most fundamental difference between us and other groups on the left. Yeah, and as you said, we have this very serious approach to education. So yeah, I guess we should probably conclude things really by discussing, how can listeners at home, whether they're someone who hasn't even joined yet, who's soon to join, or even if they're a secretary of a branch or something like that or a leading comrade, what can they do really to hit the ground running with their communist education in the run up to the Congress? What kind of resources, what kind of support can we provide in order to kickstart their communist education basically? Yeah. The best thing about joining an organization and joining our organization is you're joining something bigger than yourself that has a lot of history and has had many comrades who over many, many years have studied the ideas of Marxism. And through that process, we have been able to create an immense archive, but also kind of, how should I describe it? Treasure trove is a phrase we like to use, of material, right? In order to aid people in their journey, in their self-study for Marxism. So on our website, we have many, many reading guides to accompany you when you're reading some of these texts with helpful questions, helpful prompts. We also have a whole section to our website that's dedicated to theory, going through the classics, philosophy, history, historical materialism, Marxist economics, but also huge important concepts like the state. How do we, as communists relate to the state, how do we want to smash it? Other ideas on the left, like anarchism, but also looking at things that people, that maybe motivate people in their journey towards coming to Marxism, like the fight against oppression and so on and so forth. So we have curated on our website and also just generally through the organization, important kind of bite-sized sectionings of how to approach different elements of society using Marxist theory. And I would say part of the benefits of a full-time apparatus is that time can be and has been spent curating this material, but also with all of that material and there's a lot out there and it can be overwhelming, I would say the most important thing is that anything you pick up to read any podcasts that you listen to, any video that you watch is that you must discuss those ideas that you come into contact with somebody else with another comrade. And then actually the best way to learn is to teach others. You don't have to be the most well-rounded expert in all elements of Marxism and Marxist theory in order to go out there. The best thing to do is to get a bit of a grip of the ideas and then go out and try and teach them to other people because it's in that process that you'll clarify it for yourself and also that you'll build the party, right? It's really important to emphasize this point that we aren't interested in people who want to recite pages and pages of Marxist literature but cannot or will not translate that into the reality of people's lives and go out and talk to people. That is the real test of how well have you understood Marxism and how well have you grasped this theory. So, you know, grab those books, grab a subscription to the iDOM, check out the website, check out all of the videos and then find another comrade who you can discuss all of that out with and go to that comrade with questions and they will hopefully have the answer to them. And if that person doesn't, there's probably another person in the organization who does. That's the benefit of being a part of an organization as big as ours with the history that it has as well. Yeah, I just really want to underscore just how much educational material that we produce here at the RCP. I mean, it actually is, I think, quite overwhelming sometimes to just see the vastness of what we produce. I mean, you've mentioned the Education Hub. I think there are about 16 different sections on the Education Hub, which comprise short articles, longer articles, reading guides, podcasts, videos, book recommendations and so on. We've got the Indefensive Marxism Magazine which comes out quarterly every three months. That's an international bulletin basically of communist education with articles that are curated and developed over a long period of time by our international leadership. The latest issue was on Lenin, but we've had previous issues on questions like historical materialism, women's oppression, that the Enlightenment, for example, I think the next issue is gonna be very interesting on the topic of Africa. It's gonna have articles, I think, covering Lenin's DCs on the colonial question, France Fanon and an evaluation of his life and ideas, as well as various struggles that have taken place on the African continent, including Ethiopia in the 70s and so on. Really in-depth ideas that sometimes are on things that are quite general and quite applicable to our everyday work, but other times as well, can often be on topics that are slightly less talked about and can actually really arm our comrades on things that people generally don't know much about, I would say. So yeah, that's a very valuable resource. Our paper, every issue has center pages covering various different things, whether it's current events and current issues like the role of the United Nations, for example, or going back into history and looking at the role that Lenin played during the February Revolution. These are all things that we've covered recently in the center pages of the Communist. We also have a bookshop as well, which produces pamphlets, books, everything, starting from the classics of Marxism, which is one of our most popular purchases, which goes through things like the Communist Manifesto, Lenin's State and Revolution, Trotsky's Transitional Program, different basic texts around economics, strategy, and so on. Books like What is Marxism as well, which I would say, to this day, one of the best in reductions to Marxist theory, but yeah, really, anything under the sun that you can imagine, we will probably have a book on that, on wellreadbooks.co.uk. So definitely check that out. But yeah, I would say theory really saturates every aspect of our organization. Every week, for example, our branches and cells, we don't just go straight into organizational administrative things like, oh, when can everyone make a paper sale, when can everyone do posturing and so on? Filling out spreadsheets about paper sales and stuff like that. Having meticulous organization, obviously, is very important, but every single branch meeting always starts with a theoretical political discussion. Last night, my branch discussed the lessons of the Paris Commune. What did your branch discuss this week? We discussed the state, actually. Perfect. Yeah, it was very good. And then after that, we'll discuss current events. We'll discuss events in the news from a Marxist perspective. So everything is geared towards raising our political level, having a better understanding of the world. And that really is the bedrock of all that we do. Can I just add something to that? Yeah, of course you can. I really wanna make this point that the world right now is in a huge, it's in a deep crisis, right? We make this point, capitalism is in its deepest ever crisis and that's expressing itself economically, but also socially. And I think so many people feel this overwhelming sense of dread and doom at the deep convulsions that are happening. For us, as Marxists, theory really is the kind of the anchor to our position in the world and how we understand what is taking place. If you are trying to make sense of the seeming barbarism, violence, just the complete senseless, what feels like evilness that is coming over the world is place that in a certain historical context, which is the deep crisis that capitalism is in and what that is producing, which is a lot of inequality and war and oppression. We can make sense of that because of our study of Marxist theory and also our study of history. And so I would really encourage people to find refuge in Marxist theory as a way to make sense of the world around them because without it, the world is a scary place and then a confusing place and there is a huge sense of dread, but actually a study of theory and then the class struggle itself gives us optimism because it's explained to us what do we need to do, right? What do we need to do in order to end the horror, the barbarism, the violence, and the chaos of the capitalist system? Theory is our guide to action and that is the most important role that it plays in our organization. Yeah, I think that's a good note to end on, I would say. But just before we end the podcast, let's go over a few quick announcements. So yeah, if you've been listening to this podcast series as well as our other podcast episodes and you agree with what you have to say and you're inspired by our campaign to found the Revolutionary Communist Party, then yeah, we need your help to do this.
