Learning from the October Revolution
One hundred and eight years ago this month, Russian workers rose up to overthrow their capitalist state and establish a workers government. The October Revolution has served as an inspiration for Communists and workers across the world ever since, and the politics and strategies of the Bolsheviks who led it must be studied and dynamically applied to our current conditions if we are to fight back against the right and win, and build a socialist world.
Throughout October and November, R&R will be celebrating and learning from the October Revolution. We'll be hosting reading and discussion groups, book talks featuring guest authors from across DSA and the socialist left, panel discussions, movie screenings, and more! We'll also be releasing R&R Magazine Issue #20, Red October, which will feature analyses of Bolshevik politics and strategy and their applications to our terrain of struggle.
