The World School of Communism begins on Sunday! So far, 6,700 people from over 130 countries have signed up to follow the event online. But why watch it alone? From Manchester to Melbourne, from Delhi to Detroit, comrades of the Revolutionary Communist International are organising watch parties across the planet – and you can join them!
The World School of Communism will truly be an event like no other, and not only because of the unmatched analysis on offer over the course of the 20+ talks. With dozens of speakers from across the world, the event is a concrete expression of the internationalism that is at the heart of the fight for communism.
In this spirit, the Revolutionært Kommunistisk Parti (RKP) in Denmark has organised the first-ever Nordic School of Communism – a huge watch party for the World School, bringing together over 200 communists from Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Germany, Norway, Poland, and the Baltics!
The event has clearly already caused a lot of excitement, as shown in this message we received from a comrade in Denmark:
“I am a member of the Danish section, and I am looking very much forward to the event! I want to better myself as a cadre, and I know that by preparing myself for the WSOC and attending online (from the Nordic School of Communism), I can do that. I have a great opportunity to take a huge step in the process of building the party here in Denmark. If we all prepare ourselves as well as possible, the whole of RCI might even be able to take a qualitative step towards our goal of building an international cadre party.”
The talks will be punctuated by outdoor activities, music and games, in a bucolic setting. Undoubtedly this will be the first of many Nordic Schools to come, and we wish the comrades a picturesque week of political discussion.
In Switzerland, meanwhile, the Revolutionary Communist Party (RKP/PCR) has organised a summer camp in the mountains to watch the livestream of the World School. This promises to be quite the event, with 140 attendees from across the country!
This will undoubtedly be a milestone in the development of the Swiss section of the Revolutionary Communist International, and it is clear that the comrades are planning to seize the opportunity:
“As a member of the RCI in Switzerland, I feel it is my duty to learn more about theory, now more than ever considering where the world seems to be going and especially at what speed. And what better way is there than the World School of Communism!”
What better way, indeed! Unlike much of what passes as political education today, the World School will not be a dry academic forum filled with self-congratulatory backslapping and half-baked moralising.
The World School of Communism exists for no reason other than to arm class fighters the world over with the tools they need to forge the party of world revolution.
To those not yet attending a watch party: there may be one near you! 5,000 people have already indicated they want to attend a watch party for the World School of Communism. If you want to join them, get in touch with the RCI where you are to find out more.
To those attending watch parties, we say: listen, but also discuss! Share lessons and thoughts with comrades in order to absorb and master the method of Marxism – not simply as an individual, but as an integral part of an international revolutionary organisation dedicated to changing the world.
